Hey, they also have vacuum cleaner that is powered by batteries from 18v green series. I was surprised to see that in a shopping mall last year... Kind of like Dyson but not and a bit cheaper. Bosch BCS611AM:

Have used acetone slurry recently to repair Thule roof cargo box. Used natural colour ABS filament for 3d printer as it has no pigment and therefore a bit stronger. Also used glass fibre textile to re-enforce it. Don't worry about dissolving 1mm of the part that you want to fix, it is not so...

Well said, guys! Yes! Chamfered top and down edges of drawers fronts might do it! And/or a drip channel. Now, how would it look like, I wonder...

Thanks, guys! Yes, we never had this problem before children appeared in our life. All is done right including silicone and overflow bypass or how it is called. But I do remember when I was installing IKEA kitchen, countertop had a special lip or groove or notch just under the front. It kind...

Hi all, Did anybody thought about bathroom sink cabinet and how to avoid water getting into drawers when it overflows, kind of? We have three children and they do all kind of nasty things, as you can probably guess. Currently we have IKEA MDF cabinet and the fronts of drawers are pretty much...

I like Bridge City squares a lot. They are traditional squares (without a lip, thank you very much Woodpecker) and also do not cost much (60-80 USD for one). I have all three sizes: TS-1v2, TS-1.5v2, TS-2v2. Perfect for squaring the edges when hand planing. Also bought a middle sized 45 degree...

Welcome! Vienna is here. I buy my wood from www.muehlbauerholz.com. It is not particular cheap. Here they have a link to Preisliste Schnittholz PDF that has the prices. But they also have some exotic timber. I mostly buy beech (Buche) and it costs now slightly more than 1 EUR per 1 kg. Also I...

Blade plays a huge role in how a band saw cuts. My first band saw was BS250. It has 1/2 HP motor and many people say it is too little and you can cut maybe 50 mm thick hardwood with it only. However, with proper blade it is powerful enough to cut 120 mm beech in my experience. Might stop in the...

Yes, the peak draw on start up is high but it is only for a very short period. Don't confuse maximum rating with peak rating. Your cable can withstand a few thousands A for a short period. They should be fine. There might be a short time voltage drop but usually other devices are tolerable to...

I have this JUUMA Rabbet Block Plane since 2015. In fact, it was my first plane. Cannot compare it to Lie-Nielsen as I have never seen one. Juuma does work alright though, one of my often used planes. For what I use it I never needed that nicker (I guess it is like a shoulder plane for me)...

Interesting... What have you bought if I may ask?

I was also lucky to be able to order from TuffSaws for my new Felder FB-510 several blades in Feb-2020. And I bought some extra blades for Record Power BS250 before brexit just in case. I think I will use somebody who can receive in UK and re ship to EU if I need more, as I just don’t see any...

Well, wide boards are not easy to plane in planer/thicknesser either. You might need a very big and expensive machine that has 500 or 600 mm wide capacity. Besides, I never plane more than 2 mm bellow flat surface. If it has to be 5 mm less then I use bandsaw to "thickness" it. Even now that I...

I started with small bandsaw (Record Power BS250) and hand planes. Recently I got a room in the cellar to rent and therefore bought a bigger Felder FB-510 bandsaw and Hammer A3-41 planer/thicknesser. Of course, chips extractor also takes space and quite a lot actually (AL-KO Power Unit 120)...

Or when you cannot take a piece to a tool, like when flattening a workbench, then a tool has to be taken to a piece. With #7 I made my workbench flat and it is used as reference when preparing the timber. I don't use winding sticks because of that. Can always see on what high corners it is...

Now that I do use machines I no longer touch my scrub planes and so I changed 5-1/2 to a "super smoother" and also changed its frog to 40 degree one as I always wanted to try it out. With set chipbreaker makes a great plane for soft woods. I still use #4-1/2 and #7 for smoothing and also before...

Very nice of you to say that! ;)

Do not really understand the question, but it is set to medium thickness and has rounded corners. I use it to flatten after scrub planes and also to make 90 degree edges (I put it on a side on my workbench, raise up the piece and shoot the edges this way). So, it is basically a thicknesser (like...

I use my #7 more often than any other plane (when not using machines), would invest more on it if I would start over (I have Veritas Custom). One high end plane is good to have for reference in the beginning. Or if somebody can teach you in person is even better (maybe some woodworking school or...

I used this PCB: CCST with variable switch-on and switch-off times and switch-on threshold - Article number: 87005931 And this relay: Contactor KB-04 - Article number: 86010740
