I’d use copydex too - have you seen @custard post for lining drawers, that method works a treat on boxes, but not tried something as large as 70cm Padster

@Retired So some good assorted pliers should shape most wire for you, or if you really want flat I don't see why a small hammer wouldn't work. When Lockdown is over the trip to Bob's may not be that bad, and I would say it's definitely worthwhile as a novice, it's very informal and when I went...

@Retired Just for info - I used some Razertip with Peter Child machine at Bob Neill's and had no issues, and I know he said he does use them and he's way more talented than me!! Padster

I recently purchased the Bosch, had never used a track saw before but now wonder why I’d never found this earlier. I checked lots of reviews and would’ve liked a Festool or Mafell, but felt the Bosch was the best I could afford and I liked the rail system and way it connected...I have to say...

The only time I've heard this was John McGrath on Man in Shed (you can check the vid) - he corrected it as he was checking as he went through, he thought it must have been something he did and it did indeed prove to be that way and he said as much after being contacted by Peter himself, and...

The size of the project isn’t what matters here it was more about the tools/machines you would use, keeping it to as few as possible to start with... Also as you don’t have all the machines yet can I suggest you look at the many threads about table saws vs track saws - its worth some...

I have recently built one and followed the guidelines on the PARF MKII, had a shop vac attached, used the pecking motion in 25mm MRMDF, and have absolutely no complaints or issues it has worked perfectly, I bought the jig so I can make a couple of different custom sized benches and replace the...

There are a lot of very knowledgable guys here who know far more than I, but I would say if you have come to this forum for advice and have been reading a while before joining or posting it must of been because you considered the people here worthy to get advice from. It seems like a pretty big...

It seems you know your mind on what you want..... but do you need it? You’ll find many threads here with this type of discussion and I’m a newbie here and just a hobbyist, however I also have a single garage as the workshop and took the decision i didn’t need a table saw any more and instead...

I got curious for the two I bought and put an engineers square on them and.... happy days spot on :)

@Democritus Re: Tips...Actually both, again dependant on what you are trying to do, I wouldn't use a ball tip for a straight continuous line, and if the tip bent (I know this will sound obvious) but you are putting too much pressure on, I would guess this is because the tip isn't hot enough...

I have done some Pyrography, initially with a basic 'solder' type but soon found the limitations of that! I'd seen Bob Neill demo the Peter Child machine many times at various shows and actually did a one day course with him that was invaluable - absolute dream and a real gent (and his wife...

Thought I'd post an update, as mentioned I had no previous experience of track saws so I can offer no comparison but I have to say I have had an epiphany moment... Why have I never invested in one of these before! I have the Bosch and two 1600mm tracks and joining strip - whilst not having...

Welcome, I’ve not been here too long, what I can tel, you is you’ve picked the right place, the folks here are/have been friendly and they are immensely knowledgable and talented! Padster

No complaints about the Axminster blades here....

Hi all - I have for sale my Shopsmith MarkV which I've had since new. It's still in great condition and the reason for sale is I have a bit more space and have been moving to individual tools. It has been listed for sale via a Shopsmith site but I'm listing it here as well for those who may be...

To All, Thanks for all the knowledge sharing, help, banter & warm welcome since I joined this year. May I wish you and yours all the very best for The New Year. Padster

@beech1948 Would love to see some pics I've been thinking of similar things after seeing Peter's video's and Matt Elsa's, although my additional new bench won't be as big as yours :censored: Padster

I’m going to throw my tuppence worth in here..... Some will know I’m a relative newbie here and have found it a wealth of information and friendly helpful people. Personally I’m upgrading/renewing my workshop (single garage). I started maybe 18mths ago with new basic benches along one wall to...

@NikNak you just get a sim only deal for the watch (ensuring you buy a cellular version) from one of the carriers offering it - It will work fine with an iPhone11. SO whilst my new one I've ordered will be on contract and my my wifes, our daughter is sim only. HTH Padster
