He he he. Pretending thats a workshop. Pull the other one. Seriously, what made you upgrade from 110mm? Looking at Bill Pentz? If so, you are a keenie - once it was in, I'd call it a day at that myself. Looks great - very well thought out. Kind regards, Adam

Like Andrew, I'm bemused - why shouldn't you give your Bank Account and Sort Code out? After all, each time you post a cheque to a stranger (say on ebay, joining a club or societ, a smaller businesses etc) they often as not have both those items of information. Adam

Bravo, like me, building the cabinet was a first introduction to miller dowels. And I also found that the drill press didn't work. Although not shown in the article (from memory) I did use a vacuum after drilling each hole. For the WIP of mine, either A) click here...

Jason, Thats very kind, but I think at the moment I'll wait and replace the whole lot in one go, that way I get them all matching. Thanks everyone else for the tips, its definately food for thought. Adam

Actually, as I am, provided you notify Building Control in advance of starting work, you can as a private householder do any work on your house. Building Control are then required to send our a certified electrician to sign off (and test) your work, and issue you the certificates. Even non part...

I've got the original, (not cast iron). I agree, mitre slots aren't perfect. (on the aluminimum version at least) However, the addition of sliding table, for me, removes the need for mitre slots at all. Thats due to my particular type of woodworking - I'd rather do the same process but using the...

Sort of OT, sort of General. I'd like to replace all the internal doors in our house. Currently they are softwood, and badly warped and very very poorly finished. They've also had a nasty finish applied, which makes them look very bland. I'd like to buy some new "nicer" ones, does anyone know...

Devon, Best wishes for a speedy recovery for the good lady wife. Adam

I've got some Halfords sockets, and spanners, which I bought in the most common sizes only (13mm etc etc) in both metric and imperial (I know they are "almost" the same, but not always!) I also, can give them a recommendation - good quality - nicely finished, well machined. Adam

I had a lot of luck with the dealer "Homewood" in Worthing. I had a bad back at the time and not only did they assemble it, they carried it in. I am trying to remember if they brought it in through the front door of the previus house or not. Certainly with all the bits off, it made it through...

See I'm with Ian and Chris. By the time I've driven, stayed overnight, the actual entry price is not so important. Assuming it costs ~40p/mile to travel. Most people are going to spend £80 on travel alone, add accomodation £50 and food and drinks for an overnighter and thats another £50. So you...

Well done. Always interesting to see tool improvements. Adam

Certainly in general, I hate to work to plans, or measurements. I like to be in the workshop and just see how things come together. I spend the whole day being aware that mistakes means items don't fit together and the consequence, so have to keep an eye on all dimensions etc. So i prefer to do...

Fantastic. Made me chuckle. And the planes look superb too! Adam

Good to hear you are OK. Keep plugging at getting your money back. Adam

I've got that exact model. I'm extrmely happy with it. The finish of the planer is superb, and it has bags of power. The only disadvantage is that the planer beds are not partiularly long, but then you have to pay more $$$ for that. I have mine on a roller base so I can move it, then kick the...

I've bought Tyvek Housewrap for mine 100m cost £127 from Travis Perkins See here http://www.ebuild.com/building/EB/tyvek-housewrap.asp Adam

Hope you enjoy your trip. Adam

Which would be interesting, but I ain't going to trawl back through and delete anything you don't have. For interests sake, I'm still interested so see what you are using now though.... Adam

No. I think the results that are most interesting is to see what John (or Jane) Doe have as their users. People with collections rather skew the results :lol: :wink: Adam
