For sale is my Wadkin AGS 10" table saw. It has been converted to single phase and some dust collection added. It does now need some fettling. Looking for £250.

I don't do much kitchen fitting but have done a few mitre joints on post formed worktops in the past. Looking at some PP worktops, the square edged ones with the thick factory applied plastic edging strip. Do people do a shallow 10mm mitre when doing a corner joint? Just I saw one where they had...

Hi, I have to get my electricity supply moved and need a short length (approx. 3 metres) of polyduct 32mm id electrical duct. I wondered if anyone had an offcut they might be willing to sell/trade as I didn't want to buy the smallest roll I can find of 25metres and be stuck with most of the...

I'm building a cabinet and plan to use Blum hinges and want the soft close of blumotion. Looking at the catalog you can get clip top versions and fit blumotion units to them or you can get ones with blumotion built in. Does any one who uses these regularly have a view on which will provide the...

I'd been wanting to build a cabinet for our new shower room for a while and having seen some of the mdf based cabinets here decided that this might be the way to go. I had struggled with a design but after a very enjoyable day at Jon's bash recently with a sketchup demo by Steve Maskery I was...

Hi, I need to join two boards for the ridge beam for my new workshop. I think the joint I need is a scarf joint. Has anyone got a good link on setting out and cutting one of these? only I can only find links for small sections or joining sheet material. Thanks Gav

Having completed the groundworks for my workshop build I am now looking at some of the finer details of the construction which is based around the design of mailee who kindly sent me plans of his build. I have a couple of questions 1. The floor will be timber with kingspan ployurethane...

Not been on the forum for a while as in the last few weeks we have moved house to Ipswich which means I no longer have a workshop at all. I have plenty of space to build in and this time I plan to build a timber structure but have a few questions on the design to take loading which I hope other...

I've finally finished my first project using hardwoods (except turning work) after some months and several distractions of other non-woodworking projects. I can't take any credit for the design which I found in a copy of "The Woodworker" Its in maple and purpleheart and finished with danish...

Managed a visit to Yandles this weekend while visting in that area. I noticed that next weekend (15th) they have a hobby/craft weekend but are also doing 20% off blanks and timber from the self selection section. Just thought I'd post it in case anyone is interested as I hadn't seen an advert...

Went over to the sywell open day today as it was not to far and thought I'd share my thoughts. I did go last year to their first one and I noticed a number of changes this year. They themselves now seem to hold a wider range of items including a good range of turning blanks. There was also...

Hi, Have recently purchased an old wadkin AGS tablesaw and am in the process of giving it a cleanup and conversion from 3ph to 1ph. This has left me with a couple of questions as I've not used a tablesaw of this type before and have no manual for it. The existing 3 phase motor uses a triple...

Hi, Been trying my hand at turning for a few months and was asked recently by my colleagues at work to make something for one of the group who was getting married, they wanted something individual and unique. After some pondering I decided to try make a lamp from some laminates of purpleheart...

Does anyone know of a good piece of software that you can install on your own webserver for hosting images? Similar to the publically available ones like uploadit and photobucket. We need to be able to post thumbnails of the main image and be able to categorise them. Then search on keywords...

Hi, I have just aquired a delta lathe model 46-255, it doesn't seem to be a current model. I've never had a woodturning lathe before so I have a question. When centres are fitted to the head and tailstock and you bring them together should they align perfectly or do you expect a certain...

Having just started out in woodworking as a hobby my first job was to create a space for doing this. So I recently built a garage for the task. Rather than fit a conventional up and over door I thought it would be more appropriate to make some wooden doors and it would be a good early project...
