As I understand, Woolworths in the UK closed its doors in 2009. Woolworths in Australia may have been introduced by Woolworths in South Africa, which is a separate concern started in 1931 (I went to university in the late 1970's with one of the grandsons of the founder). Woolworths remains a...

The top is made from three boards. Removing the battens, the board on the left side was completely loose and came away. The edges of the joining boards was dry with a little hard glue, which scraped off with little effort. I suspect hide glue (as what was there was brittle) but there was too...

That's the one. There's a slightly more expensive version with magnetic inserts. On reflection, I'd spend the extra for the convenience ... but it is not a issue really - a range of plate sizes in being optimistic with a lower powered 1/4" trim router. Regards from Perth Derek

I'd like to throw this one out for discussion. This is table I have just replaced ... The plan is to restore it and give it to my son and daughter-in-law. My wife and I purchased it shortly after we married, some 42 years ago now. At that time it was said to be 150 years old. The table is...

I have an original smoother made for me by Jim Krenov, and used this to guide a guide building a couple of Krenov-style planes in 2013, in single blade format - prior to the chipbreaker revolution. Alongside the smoother is a small block plane. This had a body length of 5 ¼”, and uses a 1 ¼”...

The plate/lift are excellent quality. Stiff and well made. No play or sloppiness. All tight. I have not experienced any issues with Temu. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link as Temu state the plate/lift is sold out at this time. Check with them. Regards from Perth Derek

I don't see a problem if you (1) use an upcut spiral bit, and (2) plunge a series of holes rather than expect the bit/router to rout sideways in one. Regards from Perth Derek

It's not as if I do not have a router table. I built a very nice, full featured one, four years ago, into the outfeed of a Hammer K3 slider ... However, the workshop is small and it can be inconvenient to access this router table as machines need to be rolled out of the way. It occurred to...

Yeah. I'd report him to the moderator, but he is the moderator. :rolleyes: Regards from Perth Derek

Of course you are entitled to your opinions. But I find them simplistic, narrow and incorrect. And you will disagree. So what. Regards from Perth Derek

Spectric, this is either a reflection of great naivity or a lack of reading. There cannot be any diplomacy that will lead to a two-state resolution. The simple reason being that Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran all state, quite emphatically, that their goal is the eradication - genocide - of Israel...

This is such an antisemitic post. Incredible! It is just fishing for negative responses. Regards from Perth Derek

That statement is loaded. It is also incorrect The State of Israel was created in 1948, proclaimed by David Ben-Gurion, the head of the Jewish Agency. U.S. President Harry S. Truman recognized the new nation on the same day. Fact #1. Fact #2. There never has been a state called Palestine. When...

Robin, you are referring to my facts as opinion. They are facts. They can be substantiated. Not a strawman argument since I stated factual information about the topic under review: that "The land of Israel was identified before 1945". I could have stated, being more pedantic, "the land to be...

So, Robin, had he done his research then? Regards from Perth Derek

Scruples mate, when one goes to war, be prepared for loses. If one is going to attack another, don't expect them to turn the other cheek. Do read the history of the Middle East, and avoid showing your ignorance. The land of Israel was identfied before 1945. In 1939, the Woodhead Commission...

I think that you need to read history and not quote the propaganda of radical Islam. As soon as Israel became independent of the British Empire in 1948, all seven Arab countries which were independent at the time (Trans-Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen) attacked...

Clearly numbering one so far ... :) Regards from Perth Derek

What are you saying? Regards from Perth Derek

You need to recognise that anti-Zionistic comments are anti-Semitic. One and the same. Almost exclusively, Jews view Israel as a continuum of the Jewish religion. It is historical, Biblical. You do not need to be a religious Jew to honour your Jewish heritage. The lineage is what makes a Jew a...
