I guess the trick is to make it / get something that is either too more force for a little hand to operate, or too far apart

Funny isn't it, we give them shape sorters and puzzles to improve their dexterity then get surprised when they apply it to the things...

Baby gates work for about a week. Ours could climb out of his high sided cot before he could toddle properly. He watched his mother...

That is a good find. The four horizontal silver items that go into the white gate itself are standard M10 (maybe M8) thread. So you...

Agree with you on the trend system, i got one years ago and it seemed like such a good idea but it would take forever and the mechanism...

Agree with you on the hand tools, that’s the main reason I wanted to visit and I felt poor looking at some of the prices! What struck...

Agreed, I was looking for a precision bit of kit but sadly I found nothing. I was also less than impressed with some drill guides I saw...

Don't think of a dowel jig as just something that drills holes, the level of precision needed is very high, there is a far east clone...

I saw this stand and did like the products but it wasn’t really a necessity as you say a nice indulgence

Yeah the floating tenon jig looks good but I feel a dowel joint properly made would give (in real terms) similar strength. Shame that...

Yes this was what I was hoping to see in person and try out. Shame there wasn’t anything like it

Agreed it was loose in the demo, but it looked like you could adjust it laterally to make it a tighter fit. Still not worth £250 thought

I find every year its different enough to come away with something. Often something cerebral that's tweaked my creative streak...
