    Advice on paint sprayers for emulsion paint

    Thats interesting.... has anyone else here had the same experience? I know a lot of the bigger sites are roll to finish because of touching up damaged later.

    How accurate do you find it is with a pencil mark? Obviously you have to be careful centering on the line, but id imagine itd be easy to get .5 to a mm out of perfect alignment, as any inconsistency will show on the tight setting

    I forgot to put the blade tension back on my bandsaw...

    I watched a youtube about bandsaw drift. Despite getting it with my old kity, this guy claimed it couldnt happen and was a myth. To 'prove' it, he detensioned his rather big bandsaw and cut a lump of maybe 9" high timber nice and straight. Ive now hot a startrite and I havent even used it yet 😒...

    Makita Track Saw Blades - my brain hurts

    Doug was spot on. Your original blade will depend on your saws power source. Corded saws have a thicker plate cordless are thinner because it's easier to spin up and stop and of course removes less kerf ( wood ) during the cut

    Have you used the domino for face frames etc? If so, how did you set it up for the rail ends? I guess you could have a board of ply with 2 battens fixed to it rail width apart, with the rail centred to the domino

    Yep, i guess you just have to hold it a bit more steady? Ive seen people clamp a straight board edge to the workpiece and butt the domino agaist that

    Im finally ready to take the plunge 😆 Im thinking the 500 will do me. Mostly it'll be for joining cabinets for built in wardrobes and aligning edges nicely. And no doubt as i use it I'll think of other uses. I have a morticer in the workshop if needed for bigger joints. But my question is...

    Makita track saw blade for cutting plywood?

    I buy trend and the dewalt construction blades, they're good too. A note on the trend ones.... you need to watch out for plate thickness. Normally i get the 1.4? Mm plate ones, but last year i bought a set of 3 that had a thickness of nearer 2mm with a kerf of 3mm ( didnt realise ). My 18v saw...

    trainee/apprentice opportunities?

    Heres an idea.... search for cabinet makers and joinery shops in your area on instagram etc. You could potentially contact them through insta asking if you can go round to meet them? Dont hit 'like' for every post theyve put up though, you'll come across as a weird stalker 😆

    trainee/apprentice opportunities?

Go see the first one in person, say your bit and see what happens. If it's a no, ask them if they could critique your approach, you might get some...
