Hello I am needing or wanting to put a new work surface on my workbench, I currently have an osb work top, but I wish to have an aluminium/steel type work top. I am thinking of using something like this...

Hello I have something called Aphantasia, I can’t visualise images in my head, but I know what I want. I am after a chair or sofa, that will be extra comfy so I can enjoy the outside once again. Here is my first sketch of roughly what I am after. Should I just do butt joints, or mortise...

Lucky I have everything I need for the saw, except a riveting blade, and a mitre assembly. It did come with a blade, but the saw hasn’t been used for years, and the blade is rusty and I think needs replacing before any usages take place. I might be able to clean it up, and resharpen the teeth.

Hello Sorry, forgot the make and model, I brought this last week second hand, and other than a little tic, it seems a much better built saw than my current one, which is small, and needs bits added to it as many accessories are the worst quality going. Example, the fence (stock) easily twists...

Hello, My budget isn’t big, so I am after a cheap 10” circular saw blade for a table saw. Do I look for a blade with as many teeth? What are the pro and cons I need to look out for? Also, my saw is missing the riving knife, are they universal or do I need one just for my saw brand and...

Hello, yeah a standard socket I am happy to replace/fix. The socket in question is in the kitchen, it is a socket/switch for my electric (I think it was induction for a few days) hob as we had to half upgrade our kitchen to make it safe for me to cook, we had a temporary hob for a few days as...

Exactly my thought, I am not allowed to change over this socket as I need to be a registered electrician. We have had maybe 10 electricians over the past few years who have seen and unscrewed this socket and they have not replaced the screws. I keep seeing this socket and keep thinking is this...

Hello Just a random post, not sure if it’s the correct place or not. So I am repairing some bits and bobs, and I have got items working and running again, like soldering broken wires from a battery compartment to the board controlling whatever the item I am repairing. So, to do this, I am...

I have these already on my door… maybe they need a bit of a clean and oil??

Typical… the man in the shop either lied to me or didn’t have a clue on what I was asking him…

okay, so I have to keep a towel or something like that to be kept behind my door to keep my door closed, acting like a spring. Only problem I have no idea how it works. I have seen how they are installed but surely they are meant to compress so the momentum will transfer back into my door. I...

I like green too, just wanted everything to be a natural wood colour inside. Most definitely… such a pain removing it… I have just under 50% left to go, but putting it off… as it’s not clean a thing… and I like clean.

I am after a bin that is not tapered, it was the only picture of roughly what I am after that shows the 8 sides, with wood grain… It was not my plan to make one tapered.

Yeah, just something that’s annoying me, but pictures show improvements. Was thinking about putting a new osb cut to fit, also painting a more mild colour like white, but the belt sander did a good job, just 50% left to sand down now, with the deeper bits maybe wood filler? What do you think...

Although I still need to find and install cladding to my mini workshop on the doors and one side, (it’s no bigger than a bike shed), we have painted the outside so the weather keeps it from rotting. However I wanted to keep the inside natural wood, except I did not communicate this to the person...

Hello I have had a bad month, sorry for late reply. When my head is completely clear of the extra morphine and pain is good that day, maths comes easy, otherwise I need to use calculators for simple maths… What jig would I need? Was hopeful I could get the supplies to cut the wood for me (at...

Yeah, I can do it on the table saw too, but just not confident that I can do this perfectly as my saw is not fully setup and getting the angle’s perfect is where I am truly concerned about myself doing it yet… with time being a big issue too.

So, there will be 2 made, one bin would be for regular rubbish, and second would be for recycling (our recycling is a mixed system) so don’t need to separate paper from plastic or cans… I plan to have these in my bedroom as I what I use now is awful… with my cats running off with bits or...

Hello So, some 10-15 years ago, I brought a flat pack real wood pine chest of draws, we tested different stains and found a stain I liked. A couple years ago I built a sword stand, and used the stain, I used it on shelves and more. Now last year, I went to every store near me that sell this...
