    Erbauer vs parkside

    I also have a parkside tracksaw, and just in the spirit of information, it let me down last week - badly - had to trim off some wood from the side of a door which is one of the most used tasks for a tracksaw, marked the cut width on the door top and bottom, lined up the track with those lines...

    Are there any golden rules for making solid and stable tables?

    In a similar vein, instead of wrapping box section, make the legs in 4 sections with mitres along the length; if you have a really accurate table saw should be do-able (or make a really accurate jig), but instead of making triangles, cut the pyramid tips off so when the 4 pieces are rolled...

    Liebherr Refrigeration

    Another endorsement for Leibherr - an ex member here (eriktheviking) bought one after doing a lot of due diligence checking around various makers, was/is very happy with it.

    Circular Saw or Table Saw?

    Ingenuity route: Circular saw - get a section of thick plywood (18mm minimum) about 4x the size of the circular saw sole plate, bolt said bit of wood to the sole plate (there's usually holes around you can use or just drill some, it won't harm the saw plate, run the blade through it carefully...

    P38J Lightnings

    Interestingly I've just noticed (it can take me a while sometimes lol) your avatar name is Kittthawk, but you don't have a Kitty Hawk in the lineup - another plane I think has beautiful lines (even if they were also underperforming).

    How many of you would enter a tools raffle/?

    While some readers might think this the above post is a little brusque, the truth is there; mid last year I read on another woodworking facebook site that someone in America had lost thier woodworking business to a fire and "his best mate" had set up a Go Fund Me for $200,000 to help them build...

    Free trade deal with Australia

    People still don't get it - Brexit isn't going to pay measurable dividends for a while, but when it counts, your children and grandchildren will be glad enough of us had the foresight to see the EU for what it is - a gingerbread house. It was NEVER about what we gain today or even tomorrow, but...

    One-*** efficacy questions

    remove "leaders" and change for "stupid thoughtless moronic selfish people" - Why so many people keep pointing at "our leaders" when the real problem was "the people". The lockdown happened because of "the people" (being bloody stupid).

    One-*** efficacy questions

    Actually no Selwyn, and I'm annoyed that you presume to know my circumstances. At the beginning of last year I had a somewhat comfortable amount in savings, enough to keep me going in the event of injury or prolonged sickness as I am self employed; by the end of the year that amount had dwindled...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Just offtopic for a second, nice theory Jacob, now if you can just convince the people who insist on throwing as much muck at children in the hopes some of it will stick (including muck like calculus, or the history of the Roman Empire or any number of other topics that have no bearing on actual...

    Tiger Moths

    Ty for that info, what is the rough lead time for an order now? I must assume it's almost a year if you have 11 already on the books?

    One-*** efficacy questions

    Actually he didn't, but you take that win you're not entitled to anyway, never stopped you before. You've always said "we don't need lockdowns (coz I'm losing money and a few dead old people is OK)" What ey_tony means is "we shouldn't have to have lockdowns, but people are stupid and can't be...

    One-*** efficacy questions

    Right - because India has been the very model of low numbers of cases due to thier "no lockdown" approach. I cannot for the life of me understand how adults allowed to walk the streets unsupervised can argue that limiting human interaction has little to no effect on spreading a pathogen.... it...

    Cost of Birch Ply

    Wow was that from Avon Ply? I bloody hope not, being another Bristolian. As far as "prices coming back to earth...." I don't think they ever will, because people are still paying these inflated prices, which must be above what the actual costs are rising to; I mean, if I was a company supplying...

    Tiger Moths

    They all look so good! - I've been making model kits since I was young as well and have only made one foray into making a wooden model, of a Red Arrow, I think it was the Gnat as I was 7, which would have made it '77, before they changed to the hawks in '79. I do still have it though. P38's are...

    New scam - Humber bridge unpaid toll

    Ahh see, and there's the proof I wasn't there :) - Classic mistake, went too far with the details coz I don't own a bobble hat - I almost exclusively wear a kakadu, an australian leather "cowbot" hat. Oh crap - Glitch I just used that link and.... it's legit, they really are asking the owner of...

    New scam - Humber bridge unpaid toll

    I got a letter stating I am being charged £16.50 for unpaid toll for using the Humber Bridge. I've never been there in my life and definitely not in the 5 ish years I've been driving, and the "evidence pictures" are blank. If I don't pay it in 31 days I'll be hit with another £100 on top. but...
