Hi @Blackswanwood - big thanks for dropping by and saying hello - it was nice to meet you & put a face to the name. My experience was it felt like a very different show this year from a sales/exhibitor point of view & from speaking to other exhibitors I know quite a few said the same. Lots of...

I saw this vid when it popped up last week (somehow I think YT knows I watch Laguna machines..) & in fairness I think this guy put out a good vid explaining the danger to those who don't know - I agree with you @Agent_zed although many of us know not to do it, it's certainly not a bad thing to...

Haha - that's quite ingenious, & hi @sploo About 25 years ago, my old boss of a certain German woodworking brand I won't name had to go to court for having a radar/laser jammer fitted in his front grill on his new Audi. (it was actually fitted by the engineer at our company too lol) They...

Hi Noel, yes quite a few I've never noticed before doing 30mph & I thought - nice house, I'd be happy to live there. And ha yup plenty of different colours and doors lol.

Leo has just posted quite an interesting 'behind the scenes' view on what the programme involved and the design reasoning for his bench on the first episode, along with his views of what he would do differently in hindsight. I enjoyed his take on it all.

All of them, both left and right I was going that slow - guess I just had time on my hands to look at things as well as the road ahead - it's just what happened

Just saying my experience Jacob - I was going so slow I started looking at houses not at the road. Not very counter intuitive, but I did.

Hi Dolau, I was working in South West Wales last week and to be honest I found it bizzare. Went down a fairly main road in Cardiff which has a fixed speed cam but it still had 30mph signs in front of it - some drivers then dropped to 20 suddenly, others went through at 30 - no one knew what to...

I remember many years back dropping into the Dalwhinny distillery just off the A9 in Scotland whilst on the way to see an account. I was really quite excited thinking I was going to pick up a bottle at maybe 50% discount... Ha - It was actually cheaper in my local shop 350 miles South. Plus...

Just to chip in with what I know on machinery - some factories we use have a 25% plus mark up vs USA cost which is due to switching production runs / new tooling costs etc. to comply with CE regs and to factor in new features (braked motors etc.) needing to be added to conform with CE / UKCA. I...

Hi all, as you know, there were 2 separate models back when I sold them. I'd be a bit wary @O'Chippy as you have realised the pic used isn't of the model they are selling.... Key differences for info MSP310 - fixed bed & HSS X 4 MSP315 - lift bed & tersa Rojek was a great brand originally...

Hi @hlvd - I agree, but also want to defend it out of nostalgia as if you probably know at the time there were no track saws then & mitre saws / site saws still cost the earth and were limited in choice - the Elu TGS flip saws were a mainstay of many carpenters working out of a van on site - I...

I think you are right & you are the Columbo of the intewebnets - I don't ever remember selling that model "Excuse me - Just one more thing Sir" :)

Ha, OK hard to get a sense of scale - and I may be on wrong track as others thinking it's a 177 & 1/2" - @Jayjayuno - how big it is would help - take a pic if you can with a tape measure next to it ;) Like in a field and when you walk back and all the cows go smaller Cheers

Mof96 is my guess - solid 1/4" router - that is maybe swiss built / or poss Italy depending on rating plate Ha, I feel like a dodgy commentator on 'antiques roadshow' So don't hold me to that 100% but all buttons went from orange to blue maybe 1994 + & no var speed that I can see which would...

Back in January this year a scam website appeared with full details/pics/descriptions etc of Charnwood machines. The website is now long gone. badsaleshop.com - even that domain name would have maybe put me off ?.... Of course, the first the office knew was when we suddenly had multiple...

Hi @StilwellDesigns - thank you for considering Laguna. I have to be careful with my wording, as I'm not on here to blatantly advertise or promote Laguna, but to reply to your post : we carry a very good and extensive range of spares in the UK and we also treat any customer issues as a...

Haha - I remember swear words are corrected to 'pineapple' 🤣

Hi @Noel , hope you are good mate. I know that you know your stuff in this market. hope I can get a good lease deal if there is over supply, but just think I'll look like an eco **** in a tesla & they look a bit like noddy cars so have so far ruled that out (despite best charger network) - ah I...

Interesting thread - thanks all I'm pretty much being forced into getting an electric by government BIK rates. It's that or just keep getting taxed 480 out of pay packet a month for a solid diesel! Having been fortunate to have had company cars for almost last 30 years (which used to be a real...
