Couldn't help myself, so apologies all. I shall throw this grenade and casually walk off. Should proponents of man made climate change be encouraging the burning of wood & " any old rubbish, cardboard etc"? Has an air of hypocrisy?

Does anyone on here know what replacement belt I need to order for the feed rollers? Any advice will be greatly received as I'm mid way through a job

I think most people on here will have similar stories of seeing drivers acting entirely recklessly. And if you're anything like me, when you seem them you think to yourself 'I hope that car they just sped passed was an unmarked police car', never is though. However, I would say I see an awful...

I don't disagree, I'd also be perfectly happy to drive a speed limited car. I choose to by using the inbuilt limiter and cruise control on most journeys, especially with the proliferation of speed cameras these days. However the OPs question was the whether the government should ban the sale of...

I'll hold my hands up and admit I have no idea what a 'zombie' knife is, although I am aware they have been in several news headlines recently. I assume some sort of machete which should and likely is subject to the same laws as any possession of a blade in public. You're of course correct that...

To an extent I agree with your viewpoint about nanny states, but to what extent are you happy to give up your individual choice? For clarity I would have no issue with a car limited to 80mph, but I would make an argument that while speed is linked to many (the majority?) traffic accidents, all...

This post is not meant to be inflammatory, it is purely my initial thought. At what point does personal responsibility need to be considered? Many companies sell many products that can be misused. If the desire is that a government should control/authorise/regulate any product that can be...

I'm not convinced on the statement that 'things are in crisis'. There are an estimated 261,000 homes in the UK that are considered long term vacant according to the Big Issue. There are an estimated 309,000 individuals considered homeless (sleeping rough or in temporary accommodation) in the UK...

+1 for the 14BX. Bought mine last year and have been very impressed with the build quality and power. No issue with electricsin the garage and a standard 3 pin plug. I do however wish laguna would sell their resaw king blades in the UK.

Happens A LOT more than you'd like to believe.......

Couple of ash bowls, just because

Today is the culmination of 3 weeks of actual work and 2 years of collecting reclaimed materials to make my new work bench. Don't judge the mess please

I'm going to be taking the sliding table off my table saw, which is the Fox branded version of the Record Power tspp250. Doubt there will be much interest but thought I'd offer it out before stripping it for materials. £75 Open to offers. Would definitely need to be collected due to...

Was it this one? We're not alone!

Finished this end table today, made in the style of the Next furniture that design council purchased previously. Base is simple mortice and tenon. The top was left overs from a bookcase I made before but was a bit narrow. Added so edging to it with some decorative 'dovetails' (be kind) I've not...

Rough turned some green ash last weekend, and made a new mallet from an offcut of an old oak beam. Haven't been on the lathe for a while, took a bit to get back into it, but now avoiding the list of jobs I have in favour of turning things I don't need.

Hi all, Thanks for your comments. The 'design' of table is dictated buly the space there is to situate it, and it has to fit in with the other furniture in the room, which is the design council's high end Next stuff. Appreciate all your input and knowledge.

Evening all, Looking for opinions. I'm building an end table, standard shaker style thing with a drawer, maybe 2. Its going to be approx 90cm wide, 30cm deep, 70cm tall. Legs are approx 5cm thick. Aprons are going to be approx 12cm tall(?). Here's the advice part. Will this table require...

Might be my ineffective brain, but I have no idea what point you're making.
