Hi all Just finished building a 12in drum sander from an old lathe motor and shop scraps. Very pleased with results, initial tests showed excellent results, my manual vernier couldn't discern any difference in thickness on an 8in board. Just about to visit the local scrapyard for a windscreen...

Sadly as with more than just me, times are very hard these days and I need to raise a bit of cash so some stuff must go. All items listed are for collection from my home near N'hampton but if you wish I will post at additional cost. I take care of everything I own and all items sold are in...

25/06/20 Think I got a bit over zealous when I offered this for sale, probably because I really like it but I am selling everything I cant live without so I am reducing the price to £150 cash on collection or bank transfer in advance. The accessories alone are worth over £100 so I think this...

OK help is required Said table saw is cutting a v in all cuts. So if you cut and place cut edges together there is a visible gap at the top of the board. So the blade is wobbling right??? Checked with four separate blades same issue and also one from my saw at home which is the smaller...

Just started preparing some 100+ old pine flooring ready to put down in our cottage. I have had to go back to bare wood as the boards were old roof boards and were painted. I am doing some test boards at the moment and have tried the Osmo amber tinted oil with clear Polyx over the top...

First up I am aware that the sides of a plane don't need to be at a perfect right angle for shooting as it is the blade that needs to be at 90° to the sides. However I would like to bring the sides of my No7 square to the sole. I have checked the plane and the material to be removed is...

Just taken delivery of some castors for a couple of mobile bases I'm building and thought others might be interested. They are rated to 200kg all roller bearings and look out of the package very good quality and at £8.99 for a set of four, two swivel anfd two swivel with lock and are pretty...

Desperate to find more storage for garden stuff without it migrating into the workshop. Trawling google for ideas I happened across this, I'm sure I can improve the esthetics but as basis I like what I see, simple to build and affords a decent amount of open storage. Only thing I'm not...

Looking for a pair of good quality +2.0 bi focal safety specs. I've had some before but they didn't really ever have the optical properties I wanted and were very prone to scratches. Are my only options polycarbonate? I use them when undertaking all machine work as although I do have...

Sometime ago I acquired, for the princely sum of my labour to load and unload plus £40 in diesel 3,200 linear feet of 100 plus year old pine floorboards from the demolition of an old factory. Well to be accurate they are not floorboards but 16ft roof boards, good news is that they only had 8...

Like many I'm sure, I keep finding tools in my man space that have no place in a workshop, namely, rakes, hoes, trowels and other gardening evils. So in order to maintain the status quo I'd like to build a settle (bench with storage under) to place outside the workshop, adjacent to the veg plot...

Blades baffle the hell out of me I'm afraid. I have a SIP 01332 which is the best Freud combination blade for the saw? Needs to be capable of a bit of ripping, bit of cross cutting and will have some plywood thrown at it too, quality needs to fair not brilliant. This is only a temporary...

After a winter layup in the corner of my workshop I'm spending a bit of time and money on my Sip 01332 table saw. A casualty of the winter war was one of the tape measures and the other one has started to lift after I through everything at the top on Sunday to return it to gleaming and pristine...

Are these the same or very similar to the Blue Handled 5002 Series or something less desirable? I know the Black Handled 5001's are supposedly the most desirable but are the red handled versions any different to the blue? I can't find much if anything about them on here or online generally.

I have an ebay seller who won't post an item I'd like to bid on. Looking for someone to collect from purchaser and post to me. I will make all the arrangements and reimburse petrol money etc plus gesture for help. I'll also arrange a courier and the item will have been paid for by Paypal. It's...

Just acquired another Freud FT2000, and although it runs absolutely fine as it speeds up it gives a little jerk, very minor. I didn't pay very much for it and it's not done a lot of work I imagine, judging by the wear on the base plate and general condition. Does anybody know what is causing...
