I think they are new to Lidl on the current DIY week. So until someone buys one, I doubt anyone will have any experience They are similar in concept / look like a cheaper version of the Bosch PBD 40. Now the Bosch is a nice machine. Had mine about a year now and whilst I dont use it a great...

Steve - thanks for the original idea. I made one last night, i don't think it is exactly the same as you describe above. Mine has 4 sets of "waggles" one for the 5/6/8/10mm cutters. I then transferred the centre and edges of each mortice to the edge of the MDF. Now I can use it to easily mark...

I've got the RP Sabre 350 and a DX1000. it gets some of the dust, but not much. Frequently have to clean inside the wheel cabinets. As sunnybob says, it really needs something just under the table. I must get round to making one. BTW i don't think it is the DX at issue here, I use on my...

Thanks chaps. 1 more like for the Waggleometer and I'm off to make one now :-)

I've got a project underway that initially I was going to make with traditional M&T joinery. However, having treat myself last year to a Domino 500, i've revised the design to use dominoes. My question is - which size domino to use and whether to use 1 or 2 dominoes per joint? Here are the...

Just before Christmas, my Mum was using an old shoe box to store the nic nacs she uses regularly. Lets just say the shoe box had seen better days. So she asked for a simple box, of similar dimensions. Now the box lives at the side of, but just under a small chair, so a hinged lid was out of...

I used to use a karcher wd2 which i picked up from their outlet store for £20 - yes just £20 about 5 years ago (https://www.karcheroutlet.co.uk/product ... sp?id=5189) they are £35 now. It served me well until i broke it (my fault). I then got the cheapest Titan from screwfix. It was louder...

I bought the one from Axminsters xmas offer. It works ok and looks pretty similar to the one from Amazon you linked to Mike. I bought it for the magnification rather than the illumination. I found the 2 x magnification spot on for me, i.e. the subject is large enough whilst the distance from...

Not sure on your working out there Mike. It is £725 for the 5 days in total whether you do it in a single week, or 5 Saturdays. I doubt anyone could get a thorough understanding in that time, but maybe an introduction to it.

yeah that works now

Deadeye - that looks brilliant. My planned office furniture will be built along a similar approach over the coming year, so this is nice to see something similar "delivered" ian

I subscribe to the digital version of fine woodworking and so can download the current editions to my ipad. I also use Readly (about £8 per month - www.readly.com ) and currently there is Popular Woodworking and Woodsmith magazines - as well as a ton of other stuff. If you want a referral for...

Hi Primer, Another vote for the Eclipse here - had mine a couple of years now and it is well worth the extra money. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Eclipse-Tools- ... B0043YHD4A) You can see Paul Sellars install one here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkTqt-rxQfk . From your recent posts it...

I'm sure there are previous posts on this topic if you search for them. Personally I went for a Sabre 350 - which is within your budget - it has been great so far. Just get some good blades for it (tuffsaws or axi ground tooth are usually recommended)

I was in this dilemma earlier in the year. I pretty much made my mind up on Bosch Professional GCM 12 GDL - the only down side i had for this is the size of it and how much space it would take up in my workshop or Festool KS60 E GB 240V Kapex - down side on this one was smaller depth of cut...

Duffields tend to do sawn, but do have live edge boards too. They recently told me they were no longer stocking sawn cherry, and just keeping waney edge in stock . I would give them a ring and tell them what you are after. If they have what you are after they will likely get a selection of...

Recently done a couple of ceilings in rooms and the walls & ceiling in the bathroom - all white. I use dulux emulsion. I always water it down a little but no more than 10%. I gave our living room 3 coats this time somewhat because we had a little leak earlier in the year, but partly because...

attended the show today - bought another Woodriver plane from Peter - it was good to meet you and say hello too. Once again show was very busy, when I left (about 12:00) huge queues on the roads to get in. I arrived about 9am and traffic was light - went for a really good bacon sandwich from...

ahh El Barto - sorry to see you having these troubles. On the flip side, someone just deposited a £1000 into my current account - for which I have no expectation or knowledge. I'm now going through a load of hassle to return this to the person. I know if i had made a £1k mistake i would be...

There are many methods and bits of advice on how to sharpen. I use the methods demonstrated by Paul Sellars on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE4yVgdVW7s&t=370s I use the Ultex diamond stones to get new blades into shape, then keep them sharp with the scary sharp 3m sheets e.g. from...
