I've had a look on the Festool spares website but they don't seem to sell it as a spare part?? Any help much appreciated! Thanks

I'm building a play fort on 4x4 posts for my son. We're thinking of it as a treehouse without a tree. At the moment I've got two posts in concrete curing and two more to do tomorrow. I have a few questions, if I may? I know 1 & 1b aren't really woodworking questions but I hope it won't offend...

This should work, right? This must be a bug in the software? In a way I'd be pleased to hear I've done something silly... If anyone's got a spare five minutes to test I'd be grateful! thanks

Is this within the realms of sane? I'd love to cut out the top two panels in my old exterior wooden front door and replace with stained glass. I have a plunge saw and was going to do it this way and then I thought about the near certain presence of nails/pins so decided a multi tool might be the...

Hello! I am someone who can't think in 3D. It's a real pain. I use SketchUp to enable me to woodwork which I really enjoy, but I'm afraid I struggle visualising how things are going to come together and interoperate. I've built some cabinets for an alcove in our sitting room, and I now need...

Hallo! Am building a built-in alcove unit with a drop down desk flap. I've ordered some drop down flap stays with brakes but I'm wondering if I've cheaped out by not going for the gaspiston type. Two links to the type of thing I mean. And as well as this fretting, I am wondering how to keep...

Hallo! My wife and kids have gone away for the week and left me at home with the brief of fabricating some alcove shelving for our (very wonky) living room. The house is from 1910, and the floor isn't level and the walls aren't plumb or square! I've got four sheets of MR 18mm MDF on order (due...

Just wondering about the Ryobi One+ 16g finish nailer. I've just noticed the smallest nail it can drive is 19mm. Is this going to hold me back from making the most of the tool? If I'm working with 18mm MDF or ply, I'm guessing this will mean I actually can't use the tool for (for example)...

In our kitchen we've got quite a wide gap between the edge of the chimney breast and then the 90deg right angle wall. My wife is asking for some shelving to run round the outside of the three walls but for the shelves not to be as deep as the alcove would allow. Does that make any sense? Almost...

How hard do you think it would be to re-create this? The reason we're not just buying from Habitat is that it's actually a bit wider and longer than we need.

Would anyone like to quote for producing laundry tongs for me? I potentially have a very small market for them - but am not currently setup for production - even on a small scale. To be made from a wood like beech or bamboo, I guess? The metal 'spring' would have to be good and strong as these...

So I'm in the market for an MFT/3 and I'm wondering whether to go for the base/bare model and just accessorise with the clamp accessory pack or whether to go for the MFT/3 with the hinged track and the mitre angle gauge thing ? Any advice? I am not a kitchen fitter, I'm going to be using it...

I keep seeing Erbauer router bits being feted. But is Erbauer a standalone brand or just a Screwfix marketing name?

Apropos my recent post asking if anyone has a TS55 for sale I've had a few PMs. One of them is offering an aged TS55 240v which has seem some action. It's battered and bruised but apparently still cuts true. Chap wants £75 for it. It has a systainer but the insert is missing. Nothing else...

Bit of an odd one, this. My son was given a nice wooden bed by our neighbours as they were looking to convert a bedroom into an office. Unfortunately the chap who gifted the bed caught shingles a couple of weeks later and is now bedridden for the forseeable (he's elderly), and his wife came...

Looking into FINALLY acquiring a garden workshop...or building my own. It would need to be insulated and probably of wooden construction because I think one of brick would be damp. How difficult an undertaking is this? Is there a book that would be recommended reading? many thanks...

Does anyone have any thoughts on what's the best scribing tool to buy? Looking at * Profiler+ * EasyScribe * Trend E/SCRIBE Thanks (couldn't get a [list] to work but BBCode is on...)

So I'm sick of the way dust seems to linger and gather on the vertical surfaces in my workshop. These are untreated ply boards. Does the community think a coat of paint would help prevent the (static?) effect? thanks...

Hi, I bought a Metabo HC260 second hand from a guy who said it was a good P/T but had been lifted by its tables in the past and might need calibrating to accurately plane stock. I suspect this is a good assessment of the situation because it is fine at thicknessing but seems inaccurate with...

I'm needing to create some through housing joinery (what the Yanks would call a dado, right?) and I'm wondering whether it would be best/safest to use a hand-held router or a the router table? American woodworkers would perhaps use a dado stack, but British table saws aren't setup to use them...
