Evening all, I'm making a refectory table out of some old joists and am looking at different methods to join the table top lengths together. I'm not squaring the sides up so biscuiting and glueing won't be an option (I'm looking at a rustic finish instead of a nice clean and square 'oak...

Afternoon, I've got some old rafters that i am sanding back but without gouging right into the timber i need another way of lifting the grime and dirt from the grain. I've heard that caustic soda does it but have heard differing opinions on how effective it is. Does anyone have any other...

Evening All, Does anyone know anywhere (within a reasonable distance from East London) that does the Carpentry and Joinery Level 2 on a part time (evening) basis, or, somewhere that does these weekend courses?? I've been in the trade for years and know what i need to get through this easily...

Evening All, My tax return has just landed and i can just about afford this but....there's always a part of me that wants a better deal. Now i know that Festool are not one for doing deals etc but does anyone know anywhere that can be flexible with the pricing on this kind of...
