Better prices are more likely if they remain untouched when it comes to tools of this type. I buy a fair amount of vintage tooling but stay well clear of the refurbished offerings as it rarely ends well. Not so fussed when someone puts a fresh edge on a blade but any attempt to make it good is...

Don't conflate people's perception of value with the actual value as they rarely meet and the former generally exceeds the latter. Once it becomes a sale item, that kind of all becomes moot anyhow. I'd also add that a family connection is not always the value it's deemed to be either. Don't...

+1 for epoxy, the polyester resins are not nice chemicals to work with. The COSHH sheets for the poly and vinylest variations often read like a Bond-esq nerve agent description. Have a chat to your local chandlery's, Southampton must have more than most places in the UK. A good one will offer...

As a not-particularly experienced woodworker I would be cautious of suggesting you plumb for a router and hack together a router table at this juncture. As others have pointed out, a decent track saw will likely be more practical than a table saw right now as you can break down sheet quite...

Workshop Heaven and Woodworkers Work Shop stock plane blades if I remember right. Both excellent suppliers and whilst I appreciate that is common knowledge on here I mention it because it wouldn't hurt to contact them to discuss options.

There is generally a higher risk the closer the trees are to the house or outbuildings. You can usually find nails for bird boxes, festoon lighting or more often these days security lights or motion triggered cameras. It doesn't take long (relatively) for a tree to swallow iron into the growing...

Hi topchippyles Im in Brechfa forest nr Carmarthen. Yup, I have a healthy fear of chainsaw's whatever the size. I take regular brakes whenever I use mine to make sure I don't get complacent.

I used a fair bit of the stuff for a roofing job on my kitchen extension a few years back. There was a very large skylight so had lots of it left. I've used this as bottom sheets for metal toolboxes, vice cheeks (engineers not wood) and as a bench top layer for a laying out table. By it's very...

As above, the £300 asking price is certainly not on the high side given the materials, hours and experience that go into a piece of that type. But again as pointed out above you need to work with customers who understand and appreciate those materials, those hours and that experience. I've lost...

Good grief!!!!!! Part of me wants to think that's staged but then I remember the sheer number of videos I've seen in the past of people sawing off the very tree limbs they are either holding onto or directly attached to.

I have a Logosol F2 with a 4m set beam (extended either side again) running with a Stihl 441C which is around the 70cc mark. I'm about to the push the button on a bandsaw mill purely for the reason noted by Trainee neophyte, the volume of waste wood is phenomenal. I use a low profile bar &...

+1 for CMT. Most of my router bits and spindle tooling is CMT with no complaints yet. As with S+S I have found Appleby Woodturnings a good source for CMT products. Both know what they are talking about within that range. At the end of the day it's calculated risk - do you use a +£30 blade to...

Was that the HS950? I'm tempted by one of them myself, looks like decent bit of kit. I've got an old Axi Jet clone which I keep meaning to replace. Might be time to push the button.

For what it's worth Felder, are currently emailing those on their mailing list that they will be selling off five Hammer C3 31 combination machines which were used for a new TV series - no idea what the series is as it has yet to air and I don't watch TV anymore these days anyhow. They are...

Welcome to the forum CuttySark. Not sure myself on the wood type but do you have any other context for the wood beyond where you got it from?

Will check out the links MikeK and apologies, the suggestion to go on the mailing list was for the OP, should have been clear on that.

I will take a pic and put it up tomorrow when I get chance. How is your LS25 attached? Also, you may want to get yourself on Felder / Hammer's mailing list. Seems they have supplied an upcoming woodworking TV series and the machines themselves are being sold off at a discount.

I've had a K3 Winner for a number of years now. I would expect the sliding table to be slightly higher than the cast top (as mentioned above for the obvious reasons) but this is going to be nigh on impossible to notice so never bothered measuring it myself. Solid bit of kit, never let me down...

I have a Triton TRA001 fitted into an Incra plate in one of my tables. Can't say I've been impressed with it. It's possible I just ended up with a bad one but the quality is not great in my opinion and the plastic is prone to cracking. Again maybe just me as I'm aware there are plenty of happy...

These have been available for some time, including the smaller commercial models which are effectively a single skateboard truck with a middle support. This version is closer to the designs above and a compromise in sheet support, a small one but a step up at least...
