I've one of the T.Flynn small jewellers saws which are pretty cheap at under £30. Zero set, got it for doing small dovetails, because the zero set follows a cut/scribed line better, and meant i didnt need to refine the cut with a chisel

Makita 9046 1/2 sheet with a 5mm orbit. I don't know what it is about Makita when it comes to sanders, but they seem to make the best. Both big belt sanders, the 9403 and 9404 you can run all day, and the small yet really handy and versatile 9911 is just as capable. I've used the bigger ones...

Quite interesting the ingenuity At the end of it i was wanting one :LOL:

Our big workshop - (4500+ square foot) had zero insulation in walls and roof, so in winter we used an industrial dehumidifier. So maybe something like a small unit in the months where the air/moisture content is high, have something like that running Alternatively theres dehumidifying tubs...

I use titebond 2 dark for the timber like bubinga, American black walnut and mahogany. I find its better suited as its pretty much a dark brown almost black line and blends so much better. Though it works best with a very close fit. Thats said, black walnut can tend to be a bit greyer and make...

I was under the impression hide glue was the preferred glue for guitar making because theres no risk of creep

Another funny welding prank is to replace the rod on an arc welder with a sparkler

And there is nothing finer and more satisfying than stepping back and admiring the workmanship of your colleagues boots welded to the bench by their steel toe caps.

Each have their own pluses and minuses. Mitre trimmers are good for small stuff, for example you've a pile of doors needing mouldings, but they're not much use if the part is bigger than 4" Shooting boards need constructed, and you have to get it 100% first off, which might require you to remake...

Take heart. Everybody who welds, from the guys in the shipyards to those who constructed the international space station, started where you are now. Reddit is full of people who dont know their 4r5e from their elbow, but get off being critical of anyone on any subject.

Crack on and buy it..

According to 'legend' though that has never been officially acknowledged - During WW2 the Germans in an attempt to prevent airfields being bombed, constructed mock wooden aircraft, and basically shell buildings, giving the appearance of a command center. It was hoped the British would bomb this...

Got a source for that declaration ? Obviously they wouldnt say 'Terrorist attacks' so maybe stop providing the narrative.

Point 1 - isnt that akin to saying any debate should be closed down ? how dare anyone have an opinion on xyz Point 2 I cant see how you arrived at nuclear attacks. There can be a clamour for war when you only see the destruction on one side. People get fed up pretty quickly when its their own...

Checked my own database on Latin species names and can find very little and no direct references. In Great Britain and Ireland, the standard name is broom. This name is also used for other members of the Genisteae tribe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genisteae "Genisteae is a tribe of trees...

I've three collecting addictions. Tools, Bike stuff and Money. I'm terrible at the third :(

When it comes to borders, its where its going that has the yay or nay decision. So if it was coming from Israel, Egypt could refuse, in which case it doesnt matter how insistent israel is, it stays put, but in this case of aid going into israel, it is israel that can deny entry. Thats usually...

Sorry, not following this. How is Egypt blocking aid ?
