    Proud owner of a superb CF741S Felder Pro Lovin it, but very much at the beginning of the learning curve. The options are very expensive however, bit like speccing up a BMW or Audi.....I ended up making my own - see thread in jigs etc The sliding carriage is awesome and its very accurate, but...

    Unemployed to work for benefits.

    Of Course I am aware that people already do that kind of voluntary work.......please..... :roll: I meant that kind of work would be more socially useful for example than just making people do more mundane and perhaps demeaning ( in their eyes) work. And it may actually have some kind of social...

    Unemployed to work for benefits.

    If some of the people who are able bodied and otherwise fit for work, but are unlucky enough to not be in employment were able to do something useful for some period of their free time, in return for the state handouts they live on, then why is that a bad thing? There is plenty of voluntary...

    Yet more naive simplistic twoddle....are you so blinkered by your ridiculous left wing views that you cant even accept that any one who does not subscribe to that opinion has no valid opinion. They are just "clowns"....a favourite trick of the left...if they cant smear people as "Racist" or...

    Filled up with diesel today

    No one is denying we are responsible to a greater ( or lesser ) degree ( depending on your interpretation & undertstanding of the facts and figures ) for part of the climate changes on earth, which is cyclical and natural in itself. Of course we are, and we do need to do something about it...

    Filled up with diesel today

    That is such a simplistic and naive view...there are currently little or no Practical alternatives to diesel and petrol engines. Putting up the price to levels where ordinary people cant afford it will have a seriously detrimental affect on the economy and normal peoples lives - think of the...

    Up all night playing GTA5?

    Hi Roger, while there are many games with that kind of format, there is plenty of other games that dont rely on that. Personally, I love the world of flight simulation, where I spend hours perfecting real life procedures and tactics flying an F-18 and F-16 fighter jet, with an online squadron...

    1st attempt at veneering - advice please

    Hi,, as part of my plane cabinet project, I have decided to make some veneered drawer frontals. Picked up some lovely burr walnut veneer from Capital Crispin, brought myself a bag press set up from axminster and have made the frontals ready to laminate. Completely new to this, is there any...

    Up all night playing GTA5?

    My eldest son loves this series - I always ( despite being a massive computer game fan , still is my other main hobby, albeit simulations.....) a bit dubious about the content, but just watched the trailer and I have to say, the scale and concept of the world are simply amazing........

    Workshop tour

    Hi Alex, well, the workshop is kind of a mix of business and pleasure - I found myself stuck behind a desk for the last 4 or 5 years after 30 years of work on site as my business expanded and I had to take more of a managerial role, so decided I was going to learn furniture and cabinet making. I...

I rounded the lippings so they appear nicely smooth from the front on the router table. so: Dividers ready to be lipped up...

    Workshop tour

    Hi fellas... I recently had a new mezzanine floor added to the existing at my premises, as I just invested in a new Felder universal machine, that took up all the room downstairs. This meant i could have a purpose built workshop on the new floor upstairs for all the bench work and hand tool...

    Magnets for tool storage

    No, there is too much gap at the sides.....I have found that even the really strong magnets dont really work properly unless they are almost or touching the metal of the plane. I am experimenting with various methods, currently looking at cutting a circular hole in the cork base so the magnet...
