Welcome - and I have done a SAC a while back - I have to say my experience with the instructor I had was he like you said tried to make it fun to deliver, makes a difference to being lectured and as I regularly present in my day job is something I always try and include.

That is exactly it for me, well the last part - it's having an end product something I can touch and feel - I'm a consultant so spend most of my time talking about stuff (was an engineer back in the day) but not been 'hands on' for years. IT affords me the lifestyle I want woodworking means I...

Thanks - still wary of posting my stuff - I've seen a lot of fantastic work on here and puts mine to shame!

Hi all, I hadn’t realised ‘intros’ was a thing but I’ve seen a few so thought I’d add to them even though I joined in January. I‘m more of a lurker and reader, but if I think I can add some value I will try, I read because I like to learn and believe you never stop. Day job I work for a big...

So here is the official Apple version Lightning Digital AV Adapter You can find non official versions online for much cheaper but I’ve seen people say they aren’t great and others they work perfect so you takes your chance As they say - I have the official one.

@devonwoody Two other options that may work for you - you tube itself can ’throw’ to some smart TVs from a tablet or phone just use the icon in the app and it will show what it finds - also (definitely with Apple - I assume with android too) you can get an av out connector that will allow you to...

@Jetset if @MikeK can't find it I will check as I have a 17"MBP Late 2011 that is still flying stuck on High Sierra now - it was 4GB RAM but I doubled and changed to a 1TB SSD Regards Padster

Without a doubt the best external cam used by myself and many colleagues, as we seem to spend everyday on Zoom is the Logitech C920, it's not the cheapest (£80-90) but is far superior to any integrated cam, has built in mic etc but is hard to find I got mine from Argos in the end (fortunately I...

I have the Proxxon and love it for my limited skill set, but as others mention practice makes perfect. Ensuring it’s on a firm surface, and dependant on what you are doing, bolted down, with some good blades I have had some really good results. Set up is fairly straightforward as is tensioning...

I’ve just had the AC2606 bandsaw (well vouchers) for my birthday (A significant one with a zero on the end is all I’m admitting!) from my wife and daughter and the price had increased 5% from the last catalogue- but I was lucky as I went to a store and they had stock! I know the website doesn’t...

AT the show I purchased from, and subsequent shows quite a few of the Turners were using the GloForce not all, and you don't know how many were given them as a promotion but they all seemed very happy with them. Also @Eric The Viking I've had no issues I have a couple LED strip lights in my...

I use a gloforce eyelight in my workshop you can get different length goose necks and it’s not the cheapest but I find it really useful - got mine from woodworking and powertool show a few years back...

I'm a long time Hue owner and nearly all our lights now are controlled via Hue. I like SPB did a lot of research before going down this route and have to say despite the cost I'm a big fan, I've never had to replace a bulb yet and have a variety of spots (GU10) conventional bayonet, some indoor...

I'm a plus one for replacing my up and over, but I went for the electric roller door with remote. This gave me the greatest flexibility it saved room, gave me a better door, I didn't even need the insulated version as the fit is way better than an up and over. Should we choose to move at any...

You said you're a MAC user so is it even a question?!?!? lol I'm an apple fan boy to be fair and would never swap - I briefly toyed with Android when the Sony Satio was the best camera on a phone but regretted the decision. My daughter tried the dark side when all her friends were going Samsung...

I also have a proxxon and would highly recommend it - I have the stand/press and vice as well all part of a kit - can't go wrong in my opinion.

Hi, I curious about the difficulties you are having admittedly I'm on a 17" MBP late 2011 but the latest OSX I can run is High Sierra. I'm an apple fanboy I guess some would say but I have few issues if any my default browser is safari. I looked into replacing my MBP and really don't need a...

Just to confuse the issue a little I’ve done a little of this and have a Proxxon FBS 240. In my opinion it is great, you can get various kits, with a flex shaft, a press adapter, 6 different collets so can take all the Dremel accessories. I think it’s better made, than other makes, you’ll find...
