Welcome to the forum. Probably ebay, a local selling page on Facebook or gumtree would be your best bet for selling the furniture. For the rosewood you might want to post a few pictures to see if there's any interest, however you need to post a couple more times before you can post photos.

I've not got an ETS, but have a mirka ceros with a 5mm orbit and have been very happy with it. Can use it all day long one handed with no problem. DX is also fantastic with the mirka abranet disks.

I use the Grass tiomos hinges too and never had a problem with them.

£700 budget will get you a new festool plunge saw and probably a 1400 and 2700 track. Just make sure you buy a rip blade too if you are going to rip solid timber. If you are lucky you might be able to get a second hand festool saw and a midi extractor for your money which is probably what I would do...

There's a way round it with howdens, so if you want me to get a price from them I'd be happy to get one if you pm me the sizes.

If you don't get any luck asking here, maybe ask a timber yard - English Woodland Timber at Cocking are very helpful in my experience.

It might help if you tell us where you are and what sort of quantity you need. Also if you need jumbo sheets or standard 8' x 4'

For waney edged boards I believe that the rule of thumb is 100% wastage.

Welcome to the forum. You will need to actually contribute some posts before people can send you a PM. If you don't intend to, you'll be better off trying on ebay.

Welcome to the forum. As the Op hasn't logged on since November I wouldn't hold your breath.

So that would be a no then! Give me a call if you still want help.

welcome to the forum. If, as it would appear, this is a piece of commercially bought furniture rather than bespoke, it will almost certainly have a sprayed lacquer finish which will be difficult to repair. You could try waxing it with something like briwax and seeing what it comes up like.

if the fence lifts the further across the table you pull it then take it out, put it in back to front and gently lift it to try to realign it. Some gently heat on the bracket may help. As to lifting the machine by the tables, that is generally considered to be a bad idea. Not familiar with the machi...

If it is going to be exposed to the weather then personally no for off the shelf doors. Depending where you are then there are plenty of people on here who are more than capable of making one but they will be significantly more than a ready made veneered door. If it is going to be protected by a por...

Welcome to the forum. if you can get to Marsh Farm Milford GU8 5AE tomorrow between 10h00 and 13h00 I will do it for you. My contact details are on my website which is in my signature.

welcome to the forum. Can't help with your drill brace question, sorry.

Just to add that the cracking shown in your first picture is quite common due to the veneer shrinking, but the bubbling is clearly defective veneering where the glue has failed. It can't be due to wicking as it is some distance from the bottom. If they won't play ball and you want to pursue it then ...

From what you have said, I would think you would have grounds for full refund. I had something similar with a veneered exterior door from Magnets and after a lot of backwards and forwards did get a full refund although they didn't cover the cost of my labour fitting it. I would now never fit a venee...

Welcome to the forum. As a matter of interest, where did you buy from? Also what finish did you apply, how many coats and did you just do the faces or the top and bottom too.

I have a customer in Putney who wants her kitchen to be resprayed. Is this of interest to anyone or does anyone have recommendations? The doors could obviously be removed, but decor panels cornice etc would need to be done on site.

Welcome to the forum. In another life as an engineering apprentice I seem to remember a senior designer had worked on prototypes of hovercraft, and they found that using two fans to give lift was no different to one, as it was practically impossible for both to operate identically. Effectively even ...

Welcome to the forum. If you bought the grinder new contact Triton or take it back.

Not being funny, but I've read your post 3 or 4 times and still don't understand what you want help with. If you are trying to recreate the letters shown in your picture and want to do it to a specific size, then I can't really see the need to use a router for anything. If I were trying to do it, th...

I'm on my second trafic lwb which I'm happy with and touch wood hasn't had any problems after 4 years and 50k miles. The lwb has the advantage of being able to get 8x4 sheets in standing up and 3m lengths in on an angle. I had the panel removed from the bulkhead which allows me to get a few 4.2m len...

thank you for the add i am currently building letters at 4ft high i am working of a drawing to help me my question is i have a 700mm gap of which i cut the lengh to 700mm i then mitred the piece then when i had finished the gap was not 700 mm should i have allowed for the mitre`s i am cutting 12mm ...

Welcome to the forum. Of the two I'd probably go milwaukee as I think they have a better reputation than default. You only get 2 batteries though which isn't great.

Never built any table before but i have alot of spare time lately and want to make something like this workbench https://www.storagesystems.shop/product/adjustable-height-work-bench/ Am I being too ambitious? Welcome to the forum. Do you need the table to be adjustable height? If you just want to m...

Welcome to the forum. Decent blades will be more imortant than constant speed for DIY use. Get a 12t blade for ripping timber and something like a 36t for sheet materials. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum. You need to post a few more times before pm's kick in.

Probably made in the Far East by 7 year olds so labour costs would be negligible.

Welcome to the forum. I tend to agree that a router won't be able to do a round over on a piece like the snake in your link. Looks to me like it's been done by hand.

Google cutting solutions - Doug is a member of the forum and is very helpful. Their blades are good quality too.

Are you thinking of flat pack or assembled. I'd be interested but imagine cost of transport would make it prohibitive.

Q2 - no reason why you can't use exterior varnish indoors.

In a word, no!

Welcome to the forum. The wood is pine, to stop resin bleeding either use knotting or if you ate going to paint it prime it with zinser bin. Finally you say you want to make something good quality that will stand the test of time - if so, and you want it made from pine, do yourself a favour and chuc...

Welcome to the forum. Would it not be easier to take a photo of one of the the hinges that isn't broken?

the only down side is that if you drill into it a few times or cut into it then the melamine will start to split and you won't have a particularly flat surface. A lot of people just use two bits of 18mm moisture resistant mdf screwed together to make a 36mm thick top. if you want you can varnish it ...

Welcome to the forum. Will the wood you intend dimensioning be seasoned or still green. Either way, I think that trying to handle an 8' x 2' x 3" plank of rough sawn timber over any portable saw is going to be fraught with problems. You need a saw that is going to be heavier than the piece of w...
