    Axminster Tools Warrington & Newcastle CLOSURES.

    That would explain why I can't select Warrington as a store. 😔

    Have you decided on the timber choice for the louvers?

    US Election November 5th

    US politics and particularly the presidential elections are fun to follow. People as so absolutely partisan that they are blind, the media bias is so utterly in your face it embarrassing. What's sad is no one seems to realise that neither side give zero ***** about them.

    eBay scrapping selling fees for private sellers

    I've never really had any issues with eBay as a buyer or seller. As a seller (3D parts) I set my listings as immediate payment and used to get daily payouts before I changed to monthly. The money now saved in fees has gone into promoting my listings. Also just be aware that eBay sends details...

    Plantation Shutters.

    Yes, profile as @Agent_zed mentioned. Rockler have a router bit that has the profile but I don't think it's available in the UK. @Agent_zed I too was thinking brass rod with a nylon washers.

    Plantation Shutters.

    I quite fancy making some plantation style shutters as it seems easy enough. Just wondering if anyone has made them and have any tips? Also the louvres, on most pictures I've seen the are all slightly curved (profile), does this matter? Cheers.

    3D and cad

    I can second Onshape, yes it does irk me a little that it's online only but it really is a good bit of software. Having said that, if you are totally new to CAD or design software it might be worth considering FreeCAD or Ondsel (Better looking FreeCAD) and putting your energies into learning that.

    Laser or Water cutting service for small orders

    I'm working on a project that will require some laser cut 3mm aluminum sheet material. Are there any companies out there that are happy to deal with small orders, probably 2-4 pieces. Cheers.

    Sawstop

    I didn't know SawStop was licensing their tech to other saw manufacturers. https://www.festool.co.uk/campaigns/microsites/sawstop#SawStopAIMtechnology It makes sense if their initial patent is coming to an end. Which leads to them launching in Europe. https://www.sawstop.eu/

    Using ChatGPT with OpenSCAD

    Interesting, I never though about using LLM to generate a design like this. Seen plenty of people using it to generate images for lasers and CNC with some fantastic results particularly with fibre laser.

    Recommendation of where to buy Aluminium Extrusion.

    So quick update, 2080 wasn't set in stone so I've found a good deal on Matara.com for 3090 profile. 4.5m for £133 delivered. 10 day lead time but I'm cool with that. Tanks again for the help.

    Recommendation of where to buy Aluminium Extrusion.

    Thank you for the info, Ooznest does look like the most straight forward and easiest to order from. Valuframe website it stuck in the 90's ;) with no way to order online! You know they don't care when the price list is 10 years out of date.
