See how well (or not) you can get the stain out without sanding through the veneer. Choose a grain filler a bit darker than the average colour to make the splits look like grain flecks.

If you are only buying small quantities and possibly only a "fair weather" woodworking, it might be worth buying fresh glue each spring and chucking the old stuff rather than risking premature failure of a project.

It is possibly important not to have too complex a project to start with or one needing too much design so he does not lose interest. He will benefit greatly from seeing partial results as he goes along and keep up his enthusiasm. Possibly you should try an hold back from taking over and let him mak...

502 and evostick will be both good within their design applications. Brands you have never heard of are possibly best avoided. Glue performance is graded by D number. Higher the number the more waterproof/resistant it is. Glue types vary in terms of open time, degree of tack and time before you can ...

Enjoying your woodwork is what it is all about for the amateur. When you become disatisified with the results then working on improving the bits that bug you.

Threaded bar initially seems good idea for gripping the resin but the thread weakens the bar. The effective diameter for load bearing purposes = the core diameter of the thread = the tapping drill, the diameter which you can look up. For metric threads this the is OD- thread pitch. M20 will have an ...

Pleased that it worked out for you

Have look on this site https://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/
lots of machine enthusiasts/collectors on there who might just go for it.
Good luck

I'd be surprised if there was a problem provided every molecule of wax is removed. Wipe ove with actetone perhaps. You could always to a test on the underside first to be really sure. Bob PS I'm going through a phase of using screwfix no non-sense water based satin floor varnish as my go to finish o...

In that case I don’t know

Works ok for me.

No need for a masons mitre in this case.

Use a bearing guided rebate cutter with the bearing diameter Xmm smaller than the cutter diameter. Where X= twice the difference in diameter of the existing hole and the diameter of the desired rebate. Do a practice hole first and dont do the full 10mm depth all in one go - 2-3 stages will be about ...

Very strong solution of van dyke crystals perhaps. Will tend to be a very dark brown rather than jet black.
Someone on another forum did some permanent blackening by flame charing but that seems risky to me!

Why would you not follow the instructions especially from a specialist finish supplier like OSMO?

Hi Pinelope, The proxxon range of tools is aimed at model makers and whilst well respected are not suitable for your needs. Maximum depth of cut is 8mm in softwood! Track saws* are great for sheet goods but less so for working with 4x2 etc as you have noted due to lack of support. Although you can't...

Fully understand the need to keep costs down but the very cheap saws do suffer from problems. The worst of these is that the fence that will not repeatedly lock down truely parallel to the blade. If you can get to a shop like Axminster, they should be willing to demostrate their wares. Personally I ...

Maple perhaps?

ABW tends to be darker than EW and can suffer from paler sapwood that only really comes to light once you have planed the wood.
Allow for for more wastage when working with sawn ABW

Mitre saws are notoriously difficult to extract the dust from. Youtube is full of exotic hoods etc to improve what is provided by the manufacturer. I've found that matching the area of the air inlets on a table saw to be more or less equal to the area of the exhaust port. This normally means bunging...

You could do a lot worse than a second hand startrite. As long as the tyres are ok, everything else are standard bits, bearings belts etc

Just leave it oiled and maybe just maybe try some wax if you must.

That chair will be no better. The only resistance to lateral forces are the sides of the halving joints.

Felt shingles on OSB will possibly be a good mid range solution on logevity and appearance grounds
FE boards will gap in time and not last well without regular maintenance but look nice and rustic
EPDM rubber on OSB will last best of all but not look too pretty.

About all that is left of the electrics not replaced to date are the field coils and possible the softstart/braking module if not included in the switch, I wonder if they might have a problem? I'd agree with Keith. An approach saying this is not the type behaviour associated with a brand leader etc ...

Same as I suggested elsewhere!
Raise the outfeed table as much as you can to get it out of the way. Adjust the blades so they stick out further and the thicknesser works, then reduce, the height of the outfeed planer table with the standard drag test (youtube if you are not familiar.)

The length does not fully define a eurocylinder

Two dimensions are needed, one from each end to the actuator for the lock. Also if you want a turn button one one end the asymmetry needs to be stated too.

There are saws that look rather like mitre saws that will cut steel but run much slower with a specialist blades.
Look for cut-off saws. Many tend to cut non 90 degree cuts by changing the angle of the vice rather than swinging over the blade. Unusual to find one that does compound cuts.

There is not really much in angle grinder instructions apart from pages of satefy stuff.

If you have a specific query, then maybe usk us that?

Virtually nothing will overpaint creosote or bitumen related products.
Zinser make some stain blocking primers for problem surfaces so you could contact their technical people to see if they can help but I don’t hold out much hope.
You might have to start again and learn the hard lesson.
