Afternoon, I've got a MB Vito 110 CDi van and I've just noticed that the acceleration is dying out at 3000rpm. It won't go above that mark and loses speed. I know absolutely nothing about mechanics, so before I ring the garage, is there anyone who know's what the cause may be? Cheers, Howard

Hi all, I need to learn how to scribe properly. In particular edges of boxing-in (ply) to an un-even wall. Is the best way to use a compass and guide the pin down the the un-even surface with the pencil replicating the line on the wood? What do people do when there isn't enough room to use the...

Evening, Has anyone got one of these benches - if so, does the price reflect in the quality of build / materials? Cheers Howard

Do any of you suffer from strain related injuries from repetitive use of tools / movements? Muscles, joints...that kind of thing. I'm currently having to rest my hand to allow the knuckle joints to heal. Not caused by woodworking, but by using the PC mouse on spreadsheet work. Just a bit...

At the moment, I'm researching where to buy all the different tools I'm going to need.....woodworking at home and a few 'trade' tools for my new job - carpenter. When you get down to it, most of the well known on-line deals are pretty much the same albeit a tenner or so difference here &...

My workshop will have a concrete floor. In case I drop tools - particularly chisels :shock: I was thinking about putting down some sort of covering for the floor which will absorb impact and minimise damage / blunting. Options so far: sheet material / Ply.....probably wear down & splinter...

Afternoon, I've ordered my workshop and am currently building the base for it to stand on. Once I've constructed it, I'll need to arrange a power supply for it. I'll be getting a qualified sparky to do the job, but would appreciate to hear your experiences / advice. Its only a tiny workshop...

Morning, I'd like to hear where you folks obtain your timber/material for your projects? I've done a little searching for suppliers, but would be really interested to know where you all get yours from - the regular stuff and not so regular. Cheers, H

Going on from my first post about starting to kit myself out, I've been searching for supplier of quality pre-fab workshops. I saw Gill's workshop and have contacted Tudors (Hereford) for a quote - they'll be ringing back today with prices. This will be a 14 x 8 'heavy duty' workshop...

Hello all, Just found this site the other day and am well pleased that this forum is here - I've already read a lot of the posts, for advice and tips. Crackin'! I'm new to woodworking. For a couple of years, I thought about retraining to gain some qualifications and then attempt to find work...
