... and the push-stick price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No - but I'm planning to make another one in the next day or two - using the mitre saw at 45 degrees with a stop on the blade - I'll take some pix and post them In the meantime have a look at - that's where I saw the idea. For mine I cut the angle cuts and then trimmed the whole thing on the...

I've made quite a few from IKEA polyprop chopping boards for my router table, bandsaw and table-saw - either single thickness, or two glued together - boards cost <£2 each + a couple of ground-down M8 bolts and knobs to fit the T-track. Angle cuts made on the mitre-saw and slots cut out with a...

That's not quite the point . . . . if they don't have it then it's not available in the sale/clearance and shouldn't be listed . . . with today's database driven stock control/website/e-commerce technology it's not difficult.

Yebbut some of the offers are worth considering . . . . what is also annoying is the "sale" or "clearance" promotions where most of the stuff listed is out of stock.

I think that "spam" is a bit harsh as that's normally mail from unwanted sources that have harvested your email address . . . BUT I would agree that the Axminster emails are relentless! I have a couple of solutions: 1 I have my own domain so I usually use something like...

Great Barr is a bit of trot for me - I've been to Davies a couple of times but the plywood they stock isn't that brilliant - I have had some from Coventry Timber - product is pretty much OK and delivery service is excellent - and they cut stuff for me . . .not sure if I paid extra for that.

Being not that far from you I'd be interested to know where you buy timber - I've had mixed results with a number of suppliers (mainly for Birch ply)

Axminster - make their own and my experience with 3 or 4 different widths/pitches has been good.

There are Barry Bucknell videos on YouTube - what was really funny was the part-sawn timber - he'd get a board and go to saw it but it had already been cut about two-thirds of the way through so he only sawed a small bit! My contact was through work with Lowes in the US - putting their catalog...

The best ply I've bought is from Cutlist (they cut it too!) CutList | Sheet materials Cut & Edged, Spray Prime/Lacquer, Shaker doors - superb quality for "naked ply" furniture. Not exactly handy being between Oxford & High Wycombe but they do deliver - and are very helpful. I agree that US...

There is a thread here from last week Dust ports- so many different non standard sizes : ( Someone with a 3D printer - there are loads of files for adaptors available. My dust extraction is a run of 40mm waste pipe with home-made blast-gates, a small cyclone on a wooden bin - powered by a...

Now SOLD

Tip: IKEA has the same pencils - just as good . . . and the same price ;)

Yep it isn't that obvious - probably why they mark (or at least did for mine) which end is which in the rubber mouldings!

OK you have first dibs - hear from you next year :)

For refurbishment, appears to work OK but just rusty & dirty (I bought this with a bench and already had a similar vice on an existing bench) Collect from Stratford-upon-Avon (when permitted/socially distanced) or I can send BUT it weighs nearly 20kg so would be quite costly. £40 or make me an...

I've used these Masterplug Orange Connector 2-Pin (or the black 3-pin version) to fit short leads to some of my corded tools - with an "extension lead" that works with any of them [Fitting the MALE to the tool and the FEMALE to the power from the mains cable!] Especially effective with the...

.... or a helpful brother with one! Mine made about 12 adaptors for me (6 the same, and 6 of varying sizes) ... but it took a bit of prototyping and modifying the files found on the internet.

I think it's quite interesting - probably influenced by the Philippe Starck lemon/orange squeezer gadget
