If Russia really wanted to move into NATO territory then he would not have got bogged down in a conventional conflict in Ukraine, it would have gone nuclear from the start as he would have known NATO would respond. When you think about this it does get odd, he does not want NATO on his...

@Eleanor we have some forum rules that stipulate who and what can be advertised for sale, the for sale section is where members with sufficient post can sell certain items and you must post pictures and prices as we do not want any bidding between members or to be a place of valuation. I...

Yes I have the Trend version, well an early model but it failed to perform so went to the so called Scary Sharp system which also has not worked for me so maybe next will be a pair of diamond stones and one of those Veritas honing guides.

That G sharp looks similar to a Trend version https://www.trend-uk.com/ftsmk2

So are you saying that we need to go to war in order to stop him ? If we do not negiotate then that will be the final outcome, faced with China, Russia, Iran and North Korea what do you think are our chances ?

Or like some computer game where after messing up and getting yourself exterminated you just hit the reset button and start again, get this wrong and no one is going to have any trouble keeping warm ! All good miltary strategist would work to survive to fight another day if faced with...

If you want some good door bolts then look at these...

That is to force people onto windows 11 and that opens a new era in software because W11 must have the TPM module, the trusted platform module which is like a security controller within that can enable programs to run. Long term we will end up renting our software like Adobe and MS currently...

Yes some names missing were Bosch, Festool and makita all big players and not short of cash but no shows. The one thing that took my interest was on the subject of sharpening, a guy on one stall with a couple of stones sharpening a plane blade. It looked easy and was shown the veritas...

The issue no one wants to accept as the consequences are that horrific is the nuclear, chemical and biological arsenal that Russia has. The only reason Biden has done this now is because he wants to make things more difficult for Trump even if it puts his own family in danger which he may not...

Well it looks like it is not all rosy between biden and trump after all, looks like Biden wants to ensure Trump has a real mess to sort out as he has now said Ukraine can use American long range missiles against Russia, the Russian argument has been that these missiles only function with NATO...

Well also had a chance to look at the Lamello, now if a joint is pulled in tight then you would expect no movement but with the tenso you could move the joint, not a lot but noticable. Ok this joint is supposed to be glued but with dowels or dominos you would clamp to ensure adequate...

Well had a chance at Harrogate to look at the clamps and the Bessey ones are great, easy to use and clamp well. The microjig ones are ok and work well but the Bessey I think have the slight edge on feel. Both are much better than the Axminster ones though.

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 of the Dowelmax out there which is not that good, both ends of the drilling block must be symetrical to a very high tolerance but this clone version is...

Any Pc running windows 10 will suffice, don't need a huge drive for the OS but a solid state one gives faster boot times and a large mechanical drive for everything else, ie your work files. The biggest problem you might find is that many suppliers are now shipping with windows 11, you might...

You have to give it to them that they are on top of there game when it comes to PPE, how many of us have got something in our eye just by being in the workshop, well if we embraced these then maybe it would not happen, like having some flippers from a pin ball machine to deflect any...

That Kreg jig looks like a copy of the Jessem product, Woodworkers workshop might have had it on their stand. https://woodworkersworkshop.co.uk/jessem-pocket-mill-pro/?srsltid=AfmBOorMOmp49_p70-HpW1RtmD3gNuzDD7_a3udi2rD_mgB_EQeG6b3m If you want a good dowel jig then the Jessem is a great bit...

There are many around .

You can put Gloucester in your account details, it can help if you want to sell something as people know roughly how far they need to travel or want local help with something.

Hi @Rebecca Snel if you provide a location then you might get more people in your woodworking group, not to mention people wantingthings sharpened so welcome to the UKW.
