I have a customer who wants a pine worktop. I've tried to talk them out of it but that is what they want. I've been advised by my wood chap that the best way to protect it is to use nitrocellulose lacquer. Before i do this i'd like to know if anyone has done this? The wood chap explained...

I'm doing a curved cupboard and need some bendy plywood. I did a search and found http://www.slhardwoods.co.uk/ however their shopping basket doesn't work!!! Is it just me, i've tried in three different browsers and still no joy. Why is it so hard to spend money? Does anyone know where else...

I finally gave in and bought the Festool multi table. After setting it up and trying to square it up, i noticed that there is an alful lot of flex in the sled for the saw. I manually moved it back and forth and it moves about a half an inch at the free end. I looked at the hinge part and it...

Well finally our area is implementing the DNA spray to uniquely identify your property. I want to get this and put it on my tools as i've already suffered from several thefts. I have some concerns though. It says that the thief will end up with this stuff on them which is almost impossible...

I"m building some sash windows for a friend and want to use spring balances. I didn't groove the window frame though! As i heard that you could grove the openers. I'm having difficulty finding any information on it though. The other thing is the top opener has heels on them. So can i...

I guess this counts as a past mistake so hopefully some of you knowledgeable people can help me out with a solution. My shop has a coloured Tin roof. One of the problems with that is condensation building up on the inside of it and the dripping that produces. I thought it a good idea to...

I have a bosh table saw and stand for sale. I do not have the rifing (?) knife or dust hood with it and it is only a 110 model as it is a site saw. Open to reasonable offers and can get an estimate for carriage if you give me a postal code. I'll take some pictures later today, thanks for...

I am changing over a three phase drill press into a single phased one. The switch plate on the three phase one is round and has a very nice switch and kind of goes with the old medding. I was wondering if there was a way of wiring the switch to use it with the single phase motor. The switch...

I've noticed for a while now the little ad on the banner but i got a small catalog with F&C and it looks very similar to Axminster. Is it? I looked through the catalog and i can't spot the difference. So why even bother opening a new store the same as Axminster. Is there some background info...

Anyone ever use this wood? I found a reclaimed beam on ebay close by and wondering if it is worth buying.

I have a friend who was inquiring into mortice attachments for the drill press. I've seen them in the past but never seen one in action. Has anyone tried one? Do they work? If so where is the best place to buy one.

Well i finally got my hands on a no. 7 I've been doing a bit of research on fettling hand planes and came across one process where you use bar battery charger and a solution of water and washing soda. Has anyone done this? Is it safe to do this? Is there a better way to do this? This is...

I brought up the woodrat in another thread, regrettably really. Sorry Mike. But it got me thinking how misunderstood the woodrat really is. People think that you have to devote tones of valuable wall space, but nothing could be further then the truth. It does not have to be permanently...

I happened upon this little guy and wondered if anyone collects these or knows anything about them. Just wondering if I should buy it. If so what are they worth

Well I woke up a couple of weeks to a little model on my table. The week before we had cut the handrails off our staircase as my partner wanted an open stair case with big chunky pine treads, rustic looking etc... So we were left with this eye sore. After a week of open stairs she decided...
