I've got an erbauer ERB215SE SCMS, bought initially to do site work. Im having trouble getting it set at and maintaining 90 on it, something that is more noticeable now Im cutting wider boards and not just chopping the end off some 4x2s, is there a guide, tool or a jig could use to make life a...

I know most of you don't approve but I've bought the DTJ. Im just having a little problem getting it setup correctly. What Im getting is an decent dovetail but it seem to be offset so the drawer front and side are at a slightly high, this seem to be exaggerated the wider the timber. 4inch not...

Im fitting out an alcove with a wardrobe and drawers, nothing flash as its for me and probably doesn't have a long life expectancy so think utility rather than thing of beauty. For simplicity / cost Im thinking of 4 drawers the width of the alcove roughly 1000mm , 450mm deep with bottom...

I've knocked up a cutlery insert for a dresser drawer, nothing fancy. Id like to line the bottom of the boxes with felt, I've already glued everything together, so its 5 compartments rather than just the base. :oops: The felt I've bought isn't self adhesive so whats the best method to attach...

They don't visit very often but when the 'fluff' up fairies do come round they really do enjoy themselves. :( I picked up some redwood last week to make a simple bedside table, 1 drawer halfway down - nothing complex. I knew it wasn't going to be a good day when I ripped the tip of my finger...

Just don't work out of softwood do they :( I don't have a hardwood supplier locally and the ones I was looking at on ebay don't seem to have anything available at the moment. I really don't want to use ply but better that than metal stretcher plates. Any suggestions or should I wait for a...

I know its not exciting but Im really struggling with the finish colour. Im trying to match to the doors, which were stripped and then dyed by one of the previous owner. Its warmer than dark oak, but lighter than jacobean dark oak and the grain hasn't been completely hidden. So far my best...

Evening all, Dilemma - I have an old 7.25" B&D CS it doesn't get a lot of use but I wouldn't want to be without one. Tonight the blade has come away from the reduction ring again and this time it just wont hold when reseated. I had a nightmare finding a blade last time as they all required a...
