Does anyone have any experience of having used a pu glue that dies not foam at all? Just fed up with trying to clean up all the internal moulded corners of doors where the glue foams up out of the m+t and comes through the scribes, seem to waste a lot of time doing this. I tend to use pu instead...

I am doing some mrmdf carcasses for a shaker faceframe kitchen, where the cabinet insides are going to be colour matched to the fronts. The cabinets are being sprayed in waterbased eggshell as are the face frames (although the top coat on the faceframes will be hand painted on site, the spray is...

Hi, I need to produce a set of drawings to show a customer for a hand painted kitchen. I said I would get them too them before Christmas (read Wednesday) but I am struggling a bit with the design. I got the enquirey through a previous customer who had a beaded face frame, sort of modern shaker...

Hi guys, I've got some face frames for some built ins to make, pretty standard face frame construction, although no traditional beaded edge profile that's the usual. The problem I'm having is that the slab drawer fronts and slab doors are being specified as 36mm thick. I normally use MR MDF for...

I have always been someone who sharpens by hand, it's not that I'm a hell bent hand sharpening fanatic, I've just never felt the need to change my process. I tend to freehand with oil stones for honing, but I have a few waterstones of coarse grits for reshaping. Anyway, my coarse Japanese stones...

Hi guys just looking for some advice on my spindle moulder. It is the kind which uses a drilled and tapped hole down the centre of the arbour to secure the cutter block with a m12 hex key head bolt. It has on the top of the arbour two locating pins which slot in to a large nut so that you can...

Does anybody know how much these units weigh? I cannot find any info online. I have one to collect and the tail lift on my truck is rated to 400kg, I know it will take 500kg as I have had this on it before, but I don't think it will take much more. Any ideas? Also does anyone know the maximum...

What do you think is the very best 3/4" resaw blade available on the market in the UK. Cheers for any advice. Ben.

Can any body tell me if the two brackets that you need to attach the first rail to the main work-center body come with the rail set or does some of it come with the work-center itself? Thanks in advance. Ben.

What joining technique do you use where horizontal and vertical glazing bars meet and where they come in to contact with the main frame of the sash, this is for single glazing, p.s. pictures would help. thanks Ben,

I know there has been a lot written about this saw in the past on the site but i am currently looking at upgrading and was wondering if those of you who have one could tell me what is good/not so good about it as i have been looking through old threads for hours and still seem no wiser. The...

I went to Nelson Butler timber in Horncastle last week to get some 2" thick sycamore, spoke to Carl and recieved a really good service, he spent about 45 minutes chatting to me as we went through some boards. He has a great stock of native hardwwods, English Walnut, Pippy Oak, lots of burrs...

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with any timber merchants close to me as i always end up traveling hours to get timber. I have looked at the sticky on wood yards but theres not a lot around me. What i'm after is somewhere that doesn't mind me having a little rummage through...

Just out of interest i thought i would ask what everyones best woodworking bargain is! This is partially because im nosey and partially because i havent been on the site long enough to understand whats going on in the other threads (from what i can gather it involved Ronnie Corbit, the irish...

I need an extractor for my workshop and having read through lots of previous posts i realise that there is no one extractor that will do everything. However i have around 200 notes to spend on the best compromise i can find, i know this will not be perfect but it will be a start. The tools i...

A friend has just cut down two large sycamore trees in his garden from which he still has some logs. These are about three feet in length and about thirty inches across. My question is do you think i could salvage some usable timber from this using tools at home (maybe a chain saw or an axe) for...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good second hand bandsaw to look out for, i really want something with at least 10" under the guides that i could fit a 1" blade to for resaw work as this is what it would mostly be used for. Thanks

What lighting do you use in your workshop. I was thinking of having four 4' strip lights evenly spaced with a couple of extra pendants hanging over my bench and machines or maybe spot lights. The shop is about 10' x 20', does this sound about right as i spend most time in my shop of an evening.

I'm finally taking the plunge and setting up a space purely as a workshop, no bikes, freezers or christmas decorations etc!!!!!! But im not sure what route to go down with dust extraction. My shop will be (when i finish) 10ft by 20ft and i was thinking of fitting full ducting and blast gates to...
