Yep plain dangerous, but defended to the end by some users. Cheers Peter

Well done again Richard and Kate for putting this event on and to such a good cause. I know Jim has been working hard on FB with the auction! Sorry I won't be able to attend, but hope all goes well. Cheers Peter

Hi Steve Pleased you liked the router tables, they are the ones I use in the school workshop although the JessEm TA was set up for the show. Either will fit a home made router table but the JessEm is more commonly used for that. I have just emailed JessEm and raised your point about the metric...

That would have been Jim, yep we were busy it was just like Fridays at Harrogate for us. Cheers Peter

A very different type of show from the usual woodworking ones. A good range of crafts and mediums bringing in a real mixture of makers. I have never seen such a diverse group of visitors with far more kids, women and disabled and Europeans flown in to visit. Great to see such a wide variety of...

Coloured cable ties such a simple idea, beats the tape I would usually use. Thanks for sharing, Peter

Nice one, the birds have nested in my students wall mounted smoking bin. Looks like I need to follow your good woodworking and make some boxes. Cheers Peter

I think slumping would be your main issue, but this could be overcome by fixing at the top with a batten and letting it hang. Cheers Peter

:lol: Hope to see you next weekend

Yep first time and first of a kind, more demonstraters less sellers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOGS_5KJBQM Cheers Peter

Always worth coming along and asking, there will be some show deals on for the weekend. Looking forward to catching up with a few old friends and putting faces to new ones. Cheers Peter

Just taken a bigger stand, come and say hello on A31 -A 35. Open for a long couple of days and plenty going on, to get pre ordered tickets is cheaper. http://www.makerscentral.co.uk/BUY-TICKETS Hope to see you there, cheers Peter

My first thoughts as well, it would only really matter when cutting joints like tenons but if it's only a very small amount out then leave it well alone. Cheers Peter

So easily done with these cutters, seen it a few times in my workshop. But when set up it's my favourite for producing drawer slips. Cheers Peter

I have been very impressed with the Hammer Silent Power planer I have used a couple of times. Although I had a woodworker contact me from Germany asking my advice as his would stall if planing more than .5mm deep cut when thicknessing wide Ash. Any problems with you regular users? Cheers Peter

Peter Parfitt just posted a video explaining how to read scale vernier calipers if your eyes are good enough :lol: and shows a circular version which I have never seen before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9sI0N59SYM Cheers Peter

I am advertised as a demonstrator as I have been there since the show started a few years ago. But sadly I have just had too many other work commitments (both school and the tool shop) to do the show justice this year, so I am just going for a few hours as a visitor to relax and enjoy the show...

Going on Friday

The planes I have seen over the last couple of months have been Walnut. Cheers Peter

The trouble is the Cites list gets very involved and the customs guys see some timbers on paper work and just stop shipments. Trying to resolve these issues can be very difficult even if the importer is in the right. We had a shipment of Micro Fence held up for 6 weeks in Rugby before Christmas...
