This is is formerly a bedroom. South wing, this one. I did ideally want the cinema on the ground floor, but this made a lot more sense as it was really the ideal size of room with a handy dandy AV cupboard adjoining as an added bonus.
Thinking this is the right thread to break this news: Weell.....idea's the same, but it looks a bit more like this. Can't see me pulling it from the box every time I want to hang a small shelf though.
I'm currently building a giant kitchen cabinet, which will give us a decent chunk more storage. Best of all, the offcuts have allowed me to make some much needed shelving for the garage, previously all those boxes of screws etc. were just littering up the work surfaces and generally getting in the way. Also note the repurposed wine rack, I had to chop two layers off for it to fit in the bottom of the cabinet alongside the water softener salt
man i am so jealous of you guys,i would kill to have my own workshop, i gotta make do with a dinky storeroom and and sharedback yard
trend or kreg i have both both are good the kreg one is good for working on the go and fits inside my makita drill and driver case, the trend one i have is fitted on to my workmate bench. got both on amazon warehouse listed as used or damaged packaging so cheaper than msrp
Following with interest I've been leaning towards this one but having never used one before I'm not sure about screw sizes etc. Pretty soon I'll be starting a project that really needs one so I'll have to bite the bullet but hopefully someone can give a few tips without me having to do hours of research!
That's the one my daughter's boyfriend has and he says it's good but it can move a little while using it, I was thinking of one with a built in clamp I think.
I got this one last year, it's pretty much what you'd expect for the price; not great but it goes the job. I've used it on a couple of wood projects in the year that I've had it and it's certainly helped me make pocket holes, sometimes messy and always need sanding. Build quality wise I'll probably need a new one next year if I keep using it at the rate of two projects a year .
I have this one with the kreg clamp that fits in the circular clamp slot on the jig. I like pocket holes well enough. They get the job done for non-critical assemblies and they're faster and easier than other methods. I think they have an undeserved bad reputation.
I have this one, I'll admit its not overly good, bit snapped on the first use, you really do want a good clamp. Its on my list of things to upgrade https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wolfcraft-...4126&s=diy&sprefix=pocket,diy,66&sr=1-20&th=1
stilgart posted about the kreg and the trend one is this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trend-PH-J...y&sprefix=trend+pocket+hole+jig,diy,81&sr=1-5
Thank you. Lovely looking bit of kit but the price OUCH!!! Bit out of my occasional DIY price range I think.
like i said it was via amazon warehouse and both were returned/used ones both came in a plastic bag rather than orignal packaging so were cheaper
Got a surprise in the post the other day, Ian sent me little pots of wood oil to treat the chopping boards with! What a gent. There's something about dealing with private individuals for products and services that just feels wholesome af. I'm so glad self-employment and cottage industries are taking off a bit. Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, DIY nerds <3
This weekend I'm refurbing an old vice, it's all primed but I don't have paint for it yet, I'm planning to get a tin of proper roundel blue. Cleaning that bar up was effortless on the bench grinder wire wheel, and it's quite therapeutic to just give something a good clean and a lick of paint.
