Been on this project at weekends/evenings since July!! Although i didn't start building the actual kitchen until October. To give it a little context, it started with a 1980's hand built kitchen (very nicely made) that i removed from a kitchen that was a little starved of natural light...

I am interested in finding out how others buy timber for kitchen doors. I have built my kitchen with Birch Ply carcass/27mm tulip wood face frames and now need to make some shaker doors. I am unsure whether to: a. Buy rough sawn timber (say 32mm) and machine down myself. - more work. b. Buy...

Hi All, Does any user have a 352S manual? I need just a copy of the wiring diagram (240v 2 speed). This has to be the version with the large yellow control box cover on the rear. Many thanks

Has anybody got one of these to hand that they could check something for me.. Mine is a SM4ii but would be interested also if yours is a different model. If you grab the shaft without a block on it, can you feel any play as you try to woggle it side to side? Mine has noticeable play and I...

Hi All, Have just aquired a very old Tenoner, but its quite small and looks very useful. My question is what is the current opinion on the type of blocks that are fitted to it, should I clean them up and keep them, or should i look at updating them? There are two cutters on each block, they...

Taken a few days off work to start the cabin bed project. I have two to build for the kids that will be identical. I obtained a large pile of beech which was long table tops from a school in a previous life. They are covered in Graffitti on one side and chewing gum on the other!! They clean up...

Hi all, I would like to buy a new ripping blade and a crosscut blade for my table saw, which currently has a blunt and i think very cheap blade installed. They need to be 315mm and i want reasonable quality although they are only for hobby use. Searching around, the prices vary so much, i was...

Hi all, Just purchased a domino (xmas pressie for myself), and after a few try outs i have completed my first job. A small half gaurd rail for a kids bed out if oak. This involved making 14 joints to connect top and bottom rail to 7 'slats'. When cutting a hole with the domino, the no.5 bit...

Have been meaning to start this since the beginning of summer! Still got quite a bit to do but am happy with how far I got this weekend. Cant quite believe the cost of timber and screws/bolts, but hopefully will keep the kids happy for a few years :)

Hi All, Have loved some of the Workshops builds, thought I would share my Garden building (office/dumping ground!) Our garden isnt huge and this was a way to make use of some dead space without compromising the lawn too much.. The ground was was dug out to a depth of about 10" with some...
