I have a couple of woodworking vices laying around and keep tripping over them. If anybody can use them they need to collect from Leicestershire. 1) Record 52 in good working order. 2) 52D no makers name, but has a fast open/close lever, also in good working order. Dennis

I recently bought a second hand scrollsaw, well most of one, apparently a Delta 40-570 although there doesn't seem to be a delta model number anywhere on it. I had to sort out the switch which didn't work, a quick blast of air sorted that and put a new power lead on it. The machine now runs :)...

Oops, it's Friday afternoon and I've just noticed I'm nearly out of Titebond III glue. Anybody know if there's a stockist in Leicestershire that's open on Saturdays? D.

Before anyone jumps with excitement, let me say this is only a Nutool NPJ155 planer without it's push pads (I'm using them on my nice cast iron planer) Free to whoever wants it, just need to collect it. Dennis

As you can guess from the title, this is where I reveal the finished item. Well almost... The woodwork is complete, but i have not done the upholstery, the reason being is that the I have cut and shaped the woodwork, but to do it justice, I will have to send it out to a professional...

Last thing at night, one of the things I like to do is kick back on the sofa, putting my feet up on the poofe, while savoring a bite of my favorite chocolate. My chocolate store is in the poofe (which has an opening lid) and I suspect the chocolate pixies have been helping themselves to my...

Hi All I'm looking for a push to close/push to open latch for a current project. They used to be used on some cupboard doors so that you could push the door closed with a click, then push it again and the door would spring open a little. Anyone seen any around? Dennis

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has built Norms 'Morris Chair' as I'm thinking of building one. The woodwork looks straight forward, but what to do about the soft bits? Dennis

I need a 12v (car) to 9v converter circuit built, it's only 6 components, is there anybody here who could do one for me? I have a circuit diagram. Dennis

I've been approached by an American company who are renovating a house in London. They sent me an email (below) but as my workshop is a no go area at the moment (new dust ex system going in) I said I'd pass the job on. Dear Sir, We are working with a homeowner in Brentwood, England...

Did everyone see what for my money was the most exciting Grand Prix for a long time? Congrats to Jensen Button for a worthy win. Dennis

After a lot of complaints from SWMBO about tracking sawdust into the house and about the air quality in the workshop when I'm sanding I've come to the conclusion that I have little choice but to uprate my dust extraction. With this in mind Sarah and I took a trip down to a little Cotswolds...

Last year SWMBO and I had a chance to run down to Gloucestershire to pick up an old cast iron planer and 2 horse motor. We had an excellent trip in which Sarah was introduced to 'rough cider', :occasion5: but that's another story :lol: The planer and motor must weigh a couple of...

I've just spent 4 days re-organising my little workshop and found a space which I'd really like to fill with a pillar drill. I'd prefer floor standing, and solid construction as it will get used :!: I tried Ebay, but lost out on two drills,:evil: so I thought I'd ask here on the off...

I'm thinking about upgrading the rip fence on my Xcalibur table saw so I can get rid of the back rail and fit an outfeed table. I've seen the one Rutlands sell but don't want (can't afford) to pay £300 for a fence, and the Axminster offering is much too small sadly. Anyone got any ideas...

The drawer cabinet is finished, and was presented to Sarah, the wife who was literally speechless when she saw it :o The cabinet is made from strips of 12mmx12mm oak and ash, steam bent (a first for me) in a home made steamer and made up into slices of the cabinet plan. The slices were then...
