That is a lovely piece of work - I hope the recipient appreciates how much care and attention has gone into it!

Hi John, from East Devon. I agree about the shed-size quandary - mine is 12' x 7' so no room for a proper bench and I have to have a foldaway table saw but I have some space outside for bigger projects. We have a much bigger 'log cabin' building in the garden but I am not allowed to mess that...

What about a nice sawdust beige?

What a beautifully spun thread!

Really beautiful work - love the rays across the grain!

I agree, Paul, it should be about what makes riding more enjoyable. I don't go along with the 'if it isn't hurting it isn't working' school of cyclo-masochism! Also, I have bad arthritis in one knee which makes walking any distance very uncomfortable and I live in a part of Devon which has...

Given that most cyclists are doing it for the exercise rather than to win races, cutting weight becomes counterproductive. You just have to cycle further to get the same benefits. But a smooth running, quiet bike with a slick gear change and good brakes is much more enjoyable to ride

I agree with recipio that cutting green wood on the table saw is not to be recommended. The bandsaw is much safer. Thinking back I actually used this jig to cut blanks from an offcut of oak worktop - seasoned wood. I screwed a faceplate to the blank. The face plate sat in the recess in the jig...

Shouldn't there be a tensioning cord at the top?

It's an Evolution Rage 5s. 255mm blade (10"). Good value with folding stand and sliding table which makes it handy in my tiny workshop as it can be folded away when not in use.

Before I got a band saw I made up a jig for my table saw. Half log mounted on faceplate and faceplate held in the jig which had a slider to go in mitre slot. By rotating the log between cuts I could make it as round as I wanted (more passes) and I could set the radius to make sure the blank...

I am delighted with my pair of round skews with lovely patinated handles

What Stigmorgan said!

I have received a parcel marked S/S. I am being good and not peeping.

Like many cyclists I also have a car for which I pay road tax. When I get 'stuck' behind a cyclist the reason I can't overtake is usually cars coming the other way.

Mine is posted Phil

Many thanks Phil - all sorted now - fantastic organisation!

I may have misinterpreted your email address - assumed 'dot'= '.'

I am on your list of Oct 28th and sent my details on 30th. will send again.

I can't find any messages from you, Phil. Does that mean you didn't get my email (30/10)?
