    Tools of the Decade

    Not exactly a proper wood working tool but my Paslode IM350 gas nail gun has saved me a great deal of time, even allowing me to fence on my own! Cheers, C

    Router table insert

    Thanks again Dibs! I'm happy with either steel or ali rings. For a final push for orders, maybe you should start a new thread titled "Amazing tool offer" with the "time to vote text" that you wrote on page 10 of this thread? Include a link to this thread for background detail and stipulate...

    Workshop Design - well it's a build really.

    You could counter bore the studs to 2" with a bit that is the same diameter as the screw head, then use cheap 4" screws and plugs to attach them to the blockwork. From what I can see, the stud walls are only supporting the boarding on the ceiling and walls, so don't worry about compromising the...

    Hi WC, Please can I take up your offer if this pans out since I work near Gloucester? Cheers, C

    Router table insert

    I'm voting for option 3 please and I'm agnostic between 6/3 or 8/4 stock. Given mild steel then I'm happy to drill, counter-sink and tap myself. Cheers, C

    Router table insert

    Hi Dibs, Many thanks for leading with such vigour! The more I think about this, the more I'm inclined to suggest that the fabricator(s) should drill, counter-sink and tap the holes for retaining the rings and supply the appropriate counter-sunk screws. My reasoning for this is as follows: 1...

    Also, with regard to the shoulder, couldn't one of our spinny friends cut it on a metal lathe or is that too dangerous? You could use the router mounting holes to tool for the lathe's chuck.

    Router table insert

    I'm in and happy to drill my own router mounting holes. BTW - I'm surpised that cutting the 50mm diameter inner ring is markedly more expensive than the 30mm since I doubt they could accurately/reliably measure the additional energy used by the water jet compared to its startup/ramp-down...

    Yellow pages - a good route to market?

    I ignore the sponsored listings since they are usually national suppliers which I loathe. I go straight to 'map view' and click the 'only show suppliers covering postcode XXX XXX' and then down select based on distance, but I always go through all of the results. This is just my particular...

    Router table insert

    Hi Dibs, Could you please confirm the current estimated price based on a 10 off build? I recall that you were waiting for fabricators to respond. Cheers, C P.S. I'm against anodising if it increases the price by 50%.

    Yellow pages - a good route to market?

    Hi Roger, I always start with yell.co.uk to help make a shortlist within an acceptable travel radius and then go on to check out the website of each supplier on the list. I really like it when the suppliers advertise their web presence with yell.co.uk directly. HTH, C

    House Extension - NEW PICTURES!!!

    Hi Brad, Looking good! BTW - should there be weep holes in the rear retaining wall below the DPC? I don't know how storm water run-off is managed on your site but that rear wall could end up trying to hold back a lot of wet soil. I'm no expert so don't take my comments as read, just...

    Noddy pocket hole question

    Thank you very much for your advice Wizer. I'll practice on some scrap before using it on the work piece. Thanks, Noddy

    Noddy pocket hole question

    Apologies to the pocket hole gurus for the following stupid question: When using a pocket hole jig (eg Kreg R3), does the material thickness setting guarantee that the tip of the self tapping screw will not penetrate the adjoining work piece by more than its thickness? To clarify, I'm thinking...

    stumps and slabs

    What about a tree stump grinder? I hired one recently and it would easily get through a 3' opening. Very effective and cheap at ~£50/day. Safe to use too. HTH, C

    design package

    I beg to differ Dave! I was most surprised when my free version 7 installation managed to import a DXF file despite the feature list on Google's website saying it wasn't supported.....

    design package

    For 2D architectural work I've always used AutoCAD, here is a good freeware clone called ProgeCAD (not for commercial use): http://www.progesoft.com/en/smart-2008 However, I also use Google's Sketchup to help visualise complex 3D architectural features eg roof/eaves junctions. Sketchup (SU)...

    Not another new website

    Hi Roger, You've got to mention some form of geographical location since I always choose suppliers based on geography due to concerns over my carbon footprint and the desire to support my local economy. Furthermore, I'm highly unlikely to trust a supplier who isn't prepared to give me a...
