New Bandsaw Video!

Just a brief note on the dawn of a new week, right now, to say that I’ve just finished uploading a brand new video to my YouTube channel (you can also view it in this post, below). I actually filmed this several weeks ago, when I needed to cut some 2mm oak veneers (9in deep!) [...]

Side Table Update

While I’ve kept my progress posts updated regularly on a couple of UK woodworking forums, I do apologise for not [...]

Template Trimming

Yesterday, I made a start on my side table and I’m still aiming to have this one complete by the end of the month. If you want any more detail on the build, I’ve started a thread on an all-new UK woodworking forum – The Wood Haven. I decided I would start by shaping the [...]

Birth of a ‘Tool Wall’

A rather brief note, this one,  to show that I’ve finally begun organising my ‘Tool Wall‘:
