I have one of these IKEA sensors in my workshop and have checked the readings from it against a cheapo unit from Amazon. I found quite a large difference in the PM2.5 figure, with the IKEA unit...

Haven’t used frog tape, but I have compared the cheapo generic beige tape to Selleys blue tape. The blue tape is much stronger, less likely to tear when pulling it off. It also suffers less from...

Keeping the operator cool :U

I was in need of a new coffee table, to replace my MDF and cardboard Amart special that was rapidly degrading. I came across this video from Four Eyes Furniture of his coffee table build, which he...

Went through this same thing recently and settled on formply as well. The few places I found that sold laminex in small quantities to average punters had fairly high prices. It wasn’t worth it when a...

I recently bought some bits for their countersink thingo, made in Taiwan. So at least some P&N bits are made in Taiwan.

I’m far from an expert on this topic, but i have done some fixes on cracked joints in my house with good results. So I’ll take a stab at your questions.

I’ve fixed joints both by removing the...

Looks the goods. I recently saw this product on YouTube that is the splitting image of yours. All for the low low price of $129.99 USD :roll:...

Thanks! I’ve made some basic workshop cabinets and stuff, but nothing nice enough to use inside until this project. I’m planning to step it up a bit for the next one and make a coffee table.

Wanted to make a post about the first "nice" piece of proper furniture I've ever made. I made plenty of mistakes along the way and learned a lot, but I'd love to hear any tips for my next piece.

I’ve just finished working on this storage tray thing. I plan to use it to store things I take with me every time I leave the house - keys, wallet, sunnies, that kind of thing. So it will see fairly...

I’ve had this machine up and running for a couple of months now. Overall I’m very happy with it. It’s only seen light use so far, but hoping to bring some bigger projects to it later this year.

Hi all. I've been doing a lot of reading of the literature about proper dust extraction (here and from Bill Pentz), and I think I've distilled all the details down into a dust collection solution...

Welp, I bought the thing today :U I'll let you all know what I think of it, once I set it up. Should be arriving tomorrow...

I’ve been eyeing off this combination machine for a little while and I’m looking for any opinions on the machine before I pull the...

Hi Doug, I'll take it. I can pick up some time this weekend if that suits you?

Thanks for the responses all. I'm gonna continue dreaming up projects for this timber!

Thanks for all the input guys. Seems like the overwhelming opinion is to refurbish the existing structure. With that in mind, can anyone recommend a business that does this kind of thing in the...

The posts are a bit rusty near the concrete but I don't think they're beyond help - see pic:474915

I wish I could wall the doors off and have a dedicated workshop! But I occasionally need to work...

Hi all, looking for some feedback + ideas about what to do with my old shed and carport. I estimate it's about 30 years old, but I'm not really sure. It currently has a number of issues that I want...
