    Second Hand Car Recommendations? Estate?

    Another tip on the subject of buying a motor car is to phone the previous owner. (details in service booklet etc) I did this in an audi garage and it turned out that the car had been in a very bad acccident and nearly written off. Salesman siad he had no idea! When I bought the missus car I...

    Second Hand Car Recommendations? Estate?

    Missus has got an audi a6 avant (estate) which I borrow when I need boot space. It is a solid car and very reliable if a little uninvolving to drive. Only the other week had four sets of golf clubs, bags and four people inside when I drove to the airport. Very impressive. Esc.

    What do you do for a living then?

    Chartered Accountant / Registered Auditor / Tax advisor (I have my own practice) I would also like to mention that at least I have a brown suit, and it was not from Marks & Spencer. :) I enjoy woodworking and pottering in my shed, it is so different to my day job and "a change is as good as a...

    Planer / thicknesser Purchase advice sought

    What ho Andrew, I have the Scheppach machine you mention and I'm very happy with it. The only gripe I have concerns the very poor base/stand on which it sits. It has never really fitted properly and assembly was very problematic. The planner sits on four bolts and alignment with the holes in...

    Bessey Axminster deal

    My delivery came today (ordered Sunday). Clamps to follow. The price must have been incorrect. I found a flyer from the D M Tool show last autumn and the very same items in a show offer were £89.50 direct from the Bessey stand. :shock: I must say if we all scoop this deal which it seems as...

    Planning application - advice please...

    What ho Dave, I would suggest that you lobby your local town council representative who sits on the planning committee. Invite this person to have a look. Do not raise emotive issues as they are unfortunately largely irrelevant eg view, value of house etc. Try "overbearing impact". Also have...

    Dust extractor recomendations

    Say Noddy take a look at the camvac site. I have a small camvac machine which is plumbed into my shed with 2.5" pipes. It works very well. The machine is in a cupboard outside which saves space and dramatically reduces noise level. I would highly recommend that approach which ever machine you...

    Woodrat at Ally Pally

    very nice hyper, you lucky devil. I am just going to have to get one of those. :) I can see that the dewalt 625 seems to be the router of choice for the rat. Pity it is yellow, horrid colour - shows the dirt so easily. Esc.

    Woodrat at Ally Pally

    Perhaps i should just buy one roger? :) , life is short and I have so many other things to do. I am not so sure about your other comments though. Woodrat maybe a small firm but they are still in business to make a profit. I thought their representatives on saturday were excellent, very...

    Woodrat at Ally Pally

    It's a funny old game. I actually thought the chaps on the woodrat stall were very helpful. They gave me and vormulac a personal demo on the rat and very informative it was to. During our demo they appeared to sell at least one machine. I had asked earlier if they had any but said orders...

    Bandsaw Blade suppliers

    I would endorse that shout - Dragon is a top choice. Good blades, very reasonable cost with a discount for puchases of > 5 blades (I think) and very nice folk to deal with. Esc.
