Can someone please recommend a good chisel make for woodworking that are good quality and stay sharp + a sharpening stone to keep them sharp.

I guess so. I'll give it a go. Many thanks

You're right, b&d workbench is a bit low. Your design looks the bee's knees but I don't have the space to store it. That's why I thought of the b&d bench as a base because it's foldable. But I take your point it's not ideal. My next house will have a workshop so I'll have space for a router...

My workbench jaws can be moved to make the opening wider so that should be fine.

Thanks. You're a star. The sketch is pretty clear. I have a foldable black & decker work bench so I'll use that as a base and make that router tabletop as you suggest.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble explaining this. I was wondering myself how a cutter with a bearing could work for me and your explanation confirms that it can't, which makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, the Wealden cutter where dimension "A" matches or is larger than the thickness...

Maybe I should find someone to do this for me because I don't have a router table. When I contacted Axminster tools they said this cutter come with two bearings, one that creates a step or an ovolo cut and one that produces a bullnose cut with no step. Trend and Wealden tools also sell the...

The small print says that the cutter comes with two bearings, one creates the step and the second one is for rounding off

Rutland don't have this cutter but Axminster do, I think.... Is this the right one? https://www.axminstertools.com/axcaliber-ovolo-cutter-d-31-75-x-15-88-r-9-53mm-s-1-2-12-7mm-666054

Yes, I would buy it from them buy it from Wealden but it is out of stock. I'll email to ask when they are due to have it again

Is this the equivalent cutter? https://trenddirectuk.com/trend-40-14x1-2tc-bearing-guided-ovolo-cutter-9-5mm-radius.html

Grand! That sounds like a plan. But it looks like the router cutter I need is out of stock. Bugger!

I have done some routing but I am not super competent. I have a Makita RP2301FCXK/2 1/2" Plunge Router but no router table. If I do it at home I'll need to do it freehand, using the guide that comes with the router. There is a workshop near me that I can go to that might have a router table...

If like to route a piece of timbre so it's edge looks like this and another one like this Which router cutter do I need? Thanks

I use reclaimed floorboards because I like the way they look. Your ply flooring look very good but that isn't my thing

I've got an MCB. Thanks very much for explaining

Thanks, JohnD. Do you have a pic that shows the solution you're suggesting? Yes, I plan to use mineral wool but ply wasn't in my plans. What would be the benefit of laying ply under the boards? the downside is restricted access to the heating pipes if I ever need to change something or repair a...

The main RCD tripped a couple of times a few days ago when it was raining. The only reason I could think of is that it is to do with the garden lighting. I switched the lights off and the RCD stopped tripping so it was a lucky guess! I have two questions: why didn't the fuse for the garden...

Thank you all for your help so far. I got the said floorboard out but the nails pinning the stud to the joist is as was. I am about to change the floorboards on the landing and could use your expertise with how to finish the stairwell edge of the landing.

Because I am replacing the floorboards
