I think your all very lucky, well most of you anyway. I'm a cabinet maker, living in Shropshire. I've inly ever worked for other people as I can't raise the funds to set up a workshop, and no idea how to get work in. My family and I dream of moving to Devon, but without an income it can't...

I see your in Shrewsbury, if you need any help at all give me a call and I'll help if I can, I live just outside Shrewsbury myself.

As you said it's paid for by the tax payer, is it anew pig pen for Downing Street.

My first efforts were all honey dippers. I think everyone I know got one before I moved on to the next idea.

I've had a couple of bad experiences, if you look back on here a couple of years I've mentioned them before. Haven't used them since and have no intention of using them in the future.

This depends on the type of timber and the finish your using. But if it's soft wood and gloss then a coat or two of knotting solution, followed by primer, undercoat and gloss is the recommended procedure.

I have a small jet lathe I think it's the same model but not 100% without checking. I've had it for around 7 years, admittedly I don't use it every day and it did have to spend 18 months in storage but I've used it frequently for the past 6 months again and everything is still perfect. I'd be...

Channel 663 on sky. Not sure what time or programme name.

Maybe a joint where when it fails the female half is left with the majority of the structure.

I think the problem with s lot of crafts, and I must add the caveat that I'm not getting at or saying this is wrong, but in most crafts especially the woodworking ones box making, turning etc. The market is saturated with hobbyists and retired people whom are happy to just recoup costs for...

I owned a Capri and lost the key somewhere, but it was alright I unlocked it and started the engine with my mum and dads front door Yale key. I never replaced the original and it stayed that way for the next 18 months or so.

You could try s travisher. I hope I spelt that right.

Hi guys, I've never posted in this section before, but I'm slowly being converted to the idea of scrolling. So along with many other people I assume, I have been looking into buying a scroll saw, and along with everyone else I am facing the inevitable question of which to buy within an...

Both of my parents worked there but a bit later on maybe 1970 ish.

I live in Shrewsbury and can't think of any where that sells second hand equipment. However two places worth remembering for other items are Abbey Hardware and Welfix.

I live in Shrewsbury and never realised they were based here, I must track them down and find out where.

Personally I would recommend roughing the point out with a Stanley style knife followed by the scary sharp method, ending with a secondary bevel using a 6000 grit water stone. In my opinion never hollow grind a pencil, the strength in the lead will be affected, with the exception of a Japanese...

I don't understand what your asking. Normal veneer is 0.6mm thick and as Andy said constructional veneer is thicker. Both are by nature 'double sided' as they are slices of timber. I doubt your talking about veneered boards as they don't come that thin, and would be veneered both sides to...

I too have always aimed to be 0.5mm under sized, another thought is have you soaked the timber in oil of any sort? I use linseed and soak for differing lengths of time for different timbers. On beech for example I apply a very heavy coat, leave it 15 mins, wipe off the excess and start...

I've been using 4 sheets of standard 18mm MDF ad a bench top for about 10years now and it's still holding ip well. I've also never worked in a workshop where the bench tops weren't MDF. In my opinion it's and ideal worktop material, stable and solid. If you get the type of moisture required to...
