It's that time of year so I thought I'd just remind everybody to get ready. Last winter I had a few problems, so as well as the usual maintenance as needed during the year with the machine wax and I've got myself ready for the damp cold weather to come. All cast iron machine tables, my planes...

I have 10 oak T&G effect internal doors on our new build bungalow. I believe the builder did not apply the 3rd and final coat of Dulux Diamond Glaze. The door surfaces are bitty with trapped dust. I tried to de-knib with grey scotchbrite, but this had no effect. The finish is hard. A very light...

Somewhere this has been covered as I know I've commented on the situation. I've moved to a lovely and [very] wet Devon. My cast iron machine tables generally seem to be holding up well in a single block construction garage. As in previous workshops I've gone over tables with 400 grit and a thin...

I didn't know where to put this, but if in the wrong place please feel free to tell me where to stick it. Old boy next door died recently and I'm trying to clear through the garage, workshop and shed for his lovely 87 year old widower. I've come across a Triton work centre that looks bright and...

As the title says. How long can we expect our machinery to last. My contender is a Startrite pillar drill. It started life as a glaziers drill. It did not have a chuck but a diamond dust covered tube. It was gifted to me in a sorry state. Headstock and base were rusted solid onto the pillar...

I'm in Formby, Merseyside and I'm interested in a smallish lathe:- - Something that I can lift on and off my bench. 12" bowl capacity and 18" between centres would be perfect. - I don't want something with variable speed as I am capable of moving a belt between pulleys but not fault finding and...

I cannot find this on the Axi site, but it fits there matching range of guide bars that I believe are now marketed as the UJK Progrip Clamp. It will not fit the Trend range of bars. Designed to be used as a mounting plate for hand power tools you could also use it as a sub-base to drop your...

I have avoided the "need" to buy a woodwork lathe for many years. I am not attracted to turning items for the love of it, but do so occasionally when need arises for the cabinet and joinery work I prefer. My question is am I thinking along the correct lines in looking out for a 2nd hand Record...
