    216mm on 210mm table saw?

    I imagine you will be fine - if the riving knife is an issue, then make another to suit. I use a 210mm blade in my Kity, which is naturally 200mm - this has given me more options for blade tooth selection and also for thinner kerf width (slimmer teeth = less load on the motor when at full...

    thinking

    AndyT has used some stuff with a french name to good effect - can't for the life of me remember what it's called and my goggle-fu has failed me, but he did a post about it regarding his adirondack chairs. I recall that while it does need re-application, it seems to last a bit longer than...

    Replacing plastic window trim

    I'm Sorry - I thought for a moment you said £1,500. That's a typo right? Either that or the typical "I don't want this job so I'll throw out a RIDICULOUS figure - and if he still says yes then its worth it" Even in London £1500 is 2 weeks wages for a TWO DAY job. (skim first day - fit trim...

    Sharpening Chisels & Planes

    pedants pedants everywhere. The "lift" method relies on muscle memory and can obviously vary from sharpening to sharpening and is there unreliable, the ruler trick however when using the same ruler and the same technique should give you the SAME result as the last time, and the time before -...

    Dumbed down TV programs

    A knock off of channel 4's "4 rooms" with expensive tat being swapped for cheap tat (mostly). We had a member here a while ago make a post about his "lovely workmanship" secret compartment pyramid thingy and how it was in some publication or other and featured on "4 rooms". What he neglected...

    Naming challenge

    I tell you what - that's a corker BM101, "Bark Life" - with the song being so apt as well, yup that's it, stop the clocks. (the more I read of your nonsense, somewhat surreal posts, the more I think you've got some talent there boyo, you might want to explore that :) no really. )

    Sharpening Chisels & Planes

    Toughened glass eric? NOOOOOOO - that toughening has an effedct of making the glass ever so, ever so, ever so, ever so, ever so, ever so, ever so, ever so, SLIGHTLY bowed - therefore it's WRONG! Wrong I tell you :) sorry lol I'm feeling frisky this morning. Mike - I have used diamond plates...

    Where I've been

    Holy Moly Graham, that's a scary post and puts most things into perspective more than a little. That must have been a frightening ordeal for you, but you are at least still with us, and while you will feel frustration at not being able to do much of anything yourself, I'm sure your knowledge...

    Naming challenge

    Just in case it's not been said (I've not read all 4 pages) Healthy Hounds edit: Yeah - now try saying that over the phone multiple times a day - you'll soon change it :)

    Help with fencing (not the type using swords!)

    What's the budget and how long do you intend to stay at the property? If it's a long time then you might want to consider the concrete repair post (spur) option and then bolt the wooden post to that. It's a halfway house between full concrete posts and wooden ones, but the bottom of the main...

    Mushy Peas

    My father (74) still tries to nag his wife into keeping the dripping from a beef joint when she does the gravy (she scoops the fat off and disposes of it) - to which her response is "you've had 2 heart attacks already, you want a 3rd?" Sometimes I can actually see him thinking about it :)...

    Mushy Peas

    In Bristol there used to be a hole in the wall burger joint - literally a hole in the wall right next to the entrance of the Hippodrome Theatre, and a small kitchen inside. Best Garlic mayo chips in the universe, really. Garlic mayo was proper strong with bits of garlic in it, obviously...

    Mushy Peas

    That sounds like a northern version of the australian "pie floater" - a meat pie swimming in a bowl full of marrowfat peas (what mushy peas are made from for those that don't know). - mint sauce though - I usually use brown with my floater, so mint could be a nice change.

    Hancock's Half Hour

    In the ideal scenario I'm all for this - the problem as I stated above is I DON'T TRUST PEOPLE - people WITH the virus have been caught NOT self isolating because they felt thier need for whatever it was, was more important than the risk of spreading the virus. Also in the UK at least when the...

    Hancock's Half Hour

    Rorschach, you were WRONG the first time and you're WRONG now - I don't think you even understand the phrase "lives being destroyed" - why don't you come and have a very frank open and honest talk to ME about "life being destroyed". I'll tell you everything, after which I think you'll have a...

    Hancock's Half Hour

    Pretty sure I was saying this and calling him on out on having this viewpoint a month ago - I don't wish bankruptcy on anyone, but if you are still alive, you've got the chance to reverse it. Dead, you don't. I'm glad someone else now sees it - although I'll be honest I never actually expect...

    Hancock's Half Hour

    If I had the cash or the skills I'd have mived to NZ years ago - always been my country of choice - your PM's handling of the Covid just reinforced that beleif for many I would think. Ofc having a small population made it easier for her but even so, she done good (and that ban on guns as well).

    Drawer runners and bottoms

    Oh Yes, that's a corker - lovely grain on the front (flame mahogany veneers?), and the interior is also beautiful - "no value" ? Is the man blind?
