Taking that one step further, where it comes to [...]

I had an interesting question posed via email about how to hold down a shed, particularly in high weather affected areas. To qualify, I am not a structural, or civil engineer, so these are just my thoughts on the issue, so take them in that regard. ———– As I see it, there is one primary [...]

One of the things that I always had in the back of my mind when deciding if I really wanted to buy a drum sander, was all the sanding I found myself doing with a belt sander when dealing with small burls (for clocks and the like). More recently, I had forgotten that justification, so [...]

Saw this sitting on a Carbatec shelf, and given the current disorganisation in my own abrasives collections thought it looked like a good idea! Not sure how reloadable it would be – probably not, so it will become a deadline that when it runs out, I’d better be organised again! There are about 20′ of [...]

Been given some interesting material for a project by the family. These pieces of crocodile leather (many years old now) were used by a past generation to make some leather boots, and the leftover has been kept all this time.
