    Record Power RSDE/2A opinions?

    Have you dismissed the DX1000 or RSDE1? I've got a DX1000 and use it for my thicknesser and bandsaw, for which it copes just fine. I keep meaning to get the small hose attachment so I can use it with my router and sander (still using my titan vac for those at the moment). I've just looked at...

    Favorite YouTube woodworker

    He is good but I agree with the less interesting bit. Hes amassed a **** ton of new power tools and machinery so his channel has changed a lot. I enjoyed his earlier stuff quite a lot.

    Favorite YouTube woodworker

    I watched one of his live videos sometime before/after Christmas (can remember) where he did some weird variation of a blind dovetail. It was one of the most cringe inducing things I've seen. Halfway trough things were going wrong, he was rushing and getting stressed. I, strangely, found myself...

    Favorite YouTube woodworker

    My favourite channel isnt British (unfortunately :D ) My favourite British one would have to be Peter Millard's. Chris Tribe is also good (I'm a bit ashamed to say I've have only recently discovered his channel).

    Medullary rays In Other Species Besides Oak?

    If you're after small pieces you could always try spindle blanks. I've bought quite a bit of things from Stiles and Bates, always good service. For bigger pieces, I've heard surrey timber is good and does courier delivery if you dont live near there. Ill be shopping there soon, as they have...

    Recall watching a Matt Cremona video, where he says the same thing.

    Tapered plug cutters

    Hello :D For a while I've been using a non tapered plug cutter in my cordless drill with good success. Recently I ordered a tapered plug cutter with the hope of also using it in my cordless. Not so good, the bit doesn't throw me round like a rag doll, but the plugs 'snap' before the cutter...

    Pets..what do you have?

    23! I always find it amazing how long cats can live. I admit I'm not a cat person but my mate had a persian blue that lived to 17. That cat definately changed my opinion of cats. He was deaf and only had a few teeth left but always looked happy and was very friendly.

    Pets..what do you have?

    Thats the same reason I heard too but if its true, I don't see the reasoning. They are/were bred mainly to herd sheep, so unless they unless they herd by a stealthy, scentless ambush method :D it doesn't make much sense. Kira (my sister's beardie collie) is 9 now and hasn't done the cow dung...

    Chisels (asked umpteen times before so apologies)

    I went in B&Q earlier tonight (around 8.30pm) mainly to get some drywall screen (which I couldn't find :( ) so had to settle for wet & dry. Whilst in there I had a look at the mallets. They only had a B&Q own brand traditional square mallet. I actually quite liked it :shock: quite a bit smaller...

    Chisels (asked umpteen times before so apologies)

    Fair point but is there any manufacturers of plastic handled chisels who use high carbon steel (or any other steel) that is comparable in hardness to the 2 cherries or japanese laminated steel chisel?
