I think I was the 10th, I just can't remember either :roll:

I am generally very confused by which router cutters to get. :? I would like cutters to use in the woodrat for profiling as you state but also to be able to use these free hand when appropriate. I just don't quite understand the importance of the bearings or pilot things. Do these really...

Thanks for you quick response Dave. I will give it ago. I purchased the woodrat cutters (set 2) which seem very well made - but for the rest I assume it is a standard machine. Did you have something in mind? I do not have any 1/2" routing bits for my new Dewalt router (625 model)and will give...

What ho all. My new woodrat is on the wall despite a few mishaps during the installation largely due to my not following the instructions exactly. :oops: However, I am very pleased with my new purchase and just had one or two quick questions. Firstly, can you cut rebates using a straight...

A milestone, well done Alf. A quick calculation based on an average post time of say three minutes would indicate that you have spent 500 hours posting on this forum. That equates to nearly 21 days! Crikey. :shock: Cheers, Esc.

my car will do that but only if you hold your finger on the remote button for a few seconds. It is a handy feature when you want to lock up and notice that a window has been left open by mistake. Esc.

What ho BB, I would have a look at the CAMVAC site. I have the small machine in a cupboard attached to my shed. The ducting pipes 2.5" come through the shed wall and are plumbed around the shed to service my bandsaw, planner and chopsaw. I can also fit a flexible hoover type attachment for...

I found a good use for the laser was to point it at this blokes face (not in his eyes, I was fairly careful) He was practising his putting at the golf club. It was so amusing :lol: he sensed it but could not work out where it was coming from. I got the missus through the crack in the kitchen...

I have always found Rutlands to be a good firm to deal with. I have purchased a few things over the last year and they were all delivered promptly. Their catalogue is well designed, clear and has lots of nice pictures. I am going to give Rutlands a 8/10. I have docked 2 points because; 1. I...

What ho Bob, You have been a busy bee this weekend. :) Wondered if you have seen this clip of a special bench? http://www.taunton.com/finewoodworking/ ... x?id=28530 Cheers, Esc.

I would like to go , but it is just too far away. :cry: Did think about the plane to Exeter but I would have to hire a car as well. It is just too difficult. Esc.

Greetings Alan, Glad your on board. :) Esc.

I am presently updating my will. My thoughts turned to my shed (forget the house and contents) and the value of all my tools. What would become of them? If I met my demise would the missus know the true value? I doubt it. My executors would understanably over look this issue, probably deeming...

gruesome.......

Two hoodies smashed my car window to steal my snooper gaget. The neighbour shouted at them and they ran off empty handed. Did £1500 worth of damage to door. This was in November. The car is being fixed next week. Protracted dispute with insurance over liability but they agreed to pay in the end...

I would also like to add a thumbs up for that Liberon Lubricating Wax. I have removed modest surface rust with a sort of fibrous brillo type scotch thing pad. (can't remember the name of the thing.) It was quite effective. Hope you can soon tidy-up that machine BB, I'm sure you will have it...

What ho Chris, Where abouts in Norfolk are you? I am not sure I can be of much help with advising on tools / machinery although I have some idea of which are the best makes. It certainly pays to have the best tools. I wonder if the best solution might be to visit a few of the workshops of...

My workshop which is a sort of sheperds hut, come railway carriage is only 10ft x 8ft. :oops: I wish it was bigger about twice as big. My advice is to make it as big as you can. The bigger the better! At the moment I'm agonising over whether I should remove my comfy chair for a pillar...

Kingy, I reckon it is a about 53 cm wide if you remove the guard arm. I have allowed a little for the switch on the side, add on a bit for luck and I'm sure it will slip in easy. Wisewords from martin regarding delivery. Hope all goes well and good luck. :) Esc.

What ho Kingswood, Welcome to the forum. I think you will have no trouble getting the planner through your door, my shed door is a standard width. I will throw a tape on it tomorrow to check the width and advise. You will need a mate to help you lift the machine as it is jolly heavy. Cheers...
