A bit of an odd one but I rescued some sashes and a nice pair of french doors from a queen Anne or Georgian manor house. The glass panes are hard to find for restoring old windows. I am not bothered about selling them just passionate about them not being smashed in a skip. Not sure posting is...

I can't quite place this tool.... The throat is a tight 1 1/4" Is it a scutch?

This is a strange vice I have had for many years...and have never used it . It was to be used as a tail vice but I used a different system in the end. It's quite heavy so I thought £50 to include postage or make me an offer and pick up near Ludlow.

I have shamelessly lifted this from another forum as it is truly awesome work!

I have an old atlas pillar drill with an underpowered motor and it is too fast,2400rpm. My question is what motor should I be looking at? 2 pole,4 pole, induction etc. Loads for sale on the bay new and secondhand, I also have an Hitachi speed controller which I may use. I am thinking about 3/4...

For sale are my trusty SIP tilt arbour table saw, it has done some fine work and helped earn living for me... It is in fairly good condition, as in it is a little scruffy and i have drilled an extra hole in the dust outlet to use with my own homemade guard(not included). However the table is in...

Today's boot sale buy (Italian) are these beautifully made wotsits, one end is like a spatula but not flexible the other like a spoon, however the spoon end fits the palm so well, they must be for plaster or similar also they were very expensive at 1 eu each......any ideas?

I found this,not the chisel, whilst doing some building work in Italy, it is well made and hand forged. I have seen others in boot sales in Italy but no one has given me a satisfactory explanation as to its use. The most popular seems to be a set of fixed dividers for a set measurement, a bit...

Hi all, Can anyone help me...when reading some threads ,some pics are not visible and it says that photobucket needs updating which then reroutes to various spam sits. Is this my phone or am I missing something here? Thanks,J

Any advice on a big router for a table as mine has gone wrong.I don't need any bells and whistles as i have a half decent router, old axi, for bench work i just want loads of power and height adjustment. The Erbauer came recommended but has proved not reliable and searching the web they dont...

I have a 2100 watt erbauer router fitted to my router table which has not done that much work. This week i have been chamfering some cedar boards and cut the speed down a bit.I have a zip tie around the switch and use the mains switch as it is next to the table. When i turned it on yesterday it...

There was a post recently about rounding timber and it seems that the tool needed for marking out is a spar gauge, the nice thing about them is that they can mark timber that has been tapered in the square first . Here is a pic (hopefully) of the style we used to use. The two pins are spaced 7...

Apologies if this is old hat but i came across this today and thought it was interesting ,probably should have put it in the hand tool section. cheers Squib. http://videos.americanwoodworker.com/video/The-Tool-Doc
