Been watching this with some interest, even the FOG members will argue against them, albeit in smaller numbers. I've had three MFT/3's in the past 7-8 years, kept two and still regret selling the first. They are expensive comparative to other off-the-shelf options and DIY equivalents but once...

150 million buyers in 2020 alone on AliExpress and there are some bad reviews within all those transactions? Go figure.........What are the chances?

I believe AliExpress and Lazada are both owned and operated as a sub service within the Alibaba group. Used AliExpress half a dozen times myself, no issues as long as you don't mind waiting for it.

Is that the PayPal headquartered in California and Nebraska? Did you mean that foreign company we need to give our bank details to?

I'd recommend the Fastcap $10m stick as a stocking filler. Give the gift of 'keeping your fingers' this Xmas.

Lie Nielsen released the PDF plans for a shooting board to compliment their copy of the 51. Third download on the left hand column; https://www.lie-nielsen.com/pages/downloads Might add to the options?

Those joists are fairly small in dimensions and will give a max span of <3m. You need to know the span as well as the distance between individual joists. That's about 200kg of dead weight and it's position along that span is also important, relevant to the tanks footprint real estate. As above...

Why is no one else teasing this out? Please tell more.

I think I have started to realise that I have a collector impulse on most of the things I take an interest in. When I got into hand tools for woodworking I pretty much went west and now have an obscene number of Stanley type 11's and modern premium hand planes. I took up photography before...

Export of a wooden instrument may also incur CITES depending on where it's going and that is just a skeet shoot in my experience, admittedly though that was some time ago now.

Be aware that your cover may be ineligible if it is listed under certain categories so not just what it is but where it is listed within Ebay. I understand musical instruments are eligible so long as they fit the weight and dimensions restrictions. Also be careful if you have named the maker of...

They are delivering relevant to the increased demand where that increased business equates to increased turnover and as such, increased pre-tax profit. You also need to factor in that they lost signifiant revenue during lockdown, the same set of circumstances that led to the demand increase when...

There are multiple reasons for the costs and they are are all interlinked and compounded. It's not all profiteering, just a function of supply and demand linked to a global pandemic and those subtle connections threaded within it all. Cheap goods and cheap freight was never going to remain...

Trend blades are generally reasonably priced. If your current blades are spot on and full diameter, not sure I see why other options are being sought? There will be no issue using 190mm blades in an 8" TS but if your looking for lower cost, won't you be in the same territory as the other...

This came up earlier this year and deserves a look if space is an issue: https://www.yetitool.com/Products

Given TTS Tooltechnic Systems purchased the company that would have been an astute investment. TTS clearly thought so ;)

I've generally had no issue with almost all Ebay sellers (and had no reason to doubt this one), just not used to paying before collection is all which was the crux of the discussion. But yeah after all the concern they were a pleasure to deal with.

Okay, a quick update, I paid for the item (mentioned in the original post) via PayPal earlier in the week and collected it today. I was issued a QR code from Ebay and the seller scanned it after I took delivery of the item. Everyone is happy and it works quite well. For info and neatly...

Appreciate this is a late response and knives have already been purchased but Peppercorn in Llandeilo stock Global knives. It's a great shop for stuff like that, they are also the main Alessi dealer in Carms to my knowledge. For completeness I have a full compliment of Global knives which I've...

Obvious I know but in the context of securing several sheets at a time (for the purpose of rigidity) be mindful of weight limits. 18mm ply at 8x4 is going to be north of 32kg at the very least per sheet. It won't take many to reach and exceed safe limits and I'd also wager the insurers will have...
