I have to agree to some extent. I'm not a woodworker like the majority of the members of this board. I'm a joiner and most of the work I do requires it to be done as fast as possible (but to the best of my ability) so as to earn a decent wage. So, to this extent, I have the usual range of...

I'd agree with that. I've got a 24" Stihl and used to use it with no protective clothing. Now, I'm older and wiser (or maybe more of a wuss) I think I'll be getting some trousers and boots the next time I use it. Definately tools that require total respect.

Yeah, it is a bit expensive (especially as it doesn't have a super duper button :oops: :D ) I'll just stick with old antique one which does its job well.

Thanks everyone. Brad: yeah, £14 isn't too much and the amount of architrave/skirting I need to scribe I'm pretty sure I'll use it a lot and quickly find out if its any good or not. Alf: Thanks, the gauge you linked to looks good and isn't too expensive. Think I'll go for one of those. cheers

ooops, thought it was a button. Good idea.

I wondered if someone could give me any information on this http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/DKW15 I have a very old 'rampin' tool (wooden handle and brass tube) which does the same thing. I was just curious, does this work in the same way (manually pushing the pin in) or does the...

I'm quite interested in buying this http://www.rutlands.co.uk/cgi-bin/psProdDet.cgi/ACCUSCRIBE In my line of joinery work the only main things I need to scribe are architraves and worktops (on the rare occasion that I fit a kitchen). during my apprenticeship I was just taught to use a block of...

Scary :shock: (the operation I mean) Glad to hear you are well. I wasn't aware you needed an op, as my time frequenting this forum has been a bit on and off this (something I will rectify). Hope you have a great Christmas and New Year, incase I don't get chance to post again in the mean time...

I'd nip down to the Trafford Centre as late as possible and try and catch HMV or Virgin Megastore just before they close. Least that way there may be a chance of parking. I went last Friday evening and it was horrendous. Or just pop down to your local tesco at about 3am, probably still be busy...

Sorry, if I appeared in a rush to get back in the house. Didn't want to leave the chip pan unattended. Good to meet you. Cheers mate

Ordered from PS-Tools. Just phoned them and was told the parcel was collected today by a different courier (didn't state which) and it should arrive next week. thanks

I made an order yesterday by phone. I mused the phone instead of online to ask if next day delivery was still available due it being so close to Christmas. I was told it was :D great. Got a phone call this morning to say the couriers had finshed for christmas :cry: I wasn't here to get the...

I'd be up for meeting for a pint or 10 :D Should organise a pub meet sometime as I think theres quite a few member fromt his area.

sorted. I've sent you a pm with my house number. cheers Jon

Yep, I'm off work on Friday so that is no problem

Yeah, I've walked home from the Bull a few times, certainly took me more than 15 minutes to walk home, the state I was in :D I can meet you near the Bull if you don't drive.

15 minutes walk, didn't realise you were so local. Send me a pm to arrange when you want to collect it mate and I'll send you my address. I'm right opposite the Ainsworth Arms pub :D

Ok Matt. If you want to collect, I'll knock a fiver off the price. Depends on how far you want to drive as I'm on the outskirts of Manchester. Radcliffe to be precise :) cheers

I've decided to sell my Hitachi C7U2 circular saw as: 1. I have 2 others 2. It is 240 volt so I can't use it onsite. It takes 190mm blades. I will include 2 blades - a 24 tooth Freud and a 60 tooth Summit. Items are: Saw Case Extraction nozzle 2 blades Rip fence. Saw is in excellent...

This was the drill I had 13 years ago and still rate it as one of the best I've owned. T handles weren't that common then, I think Makita had just released their first one. At the time, I disliked the T shape but now I think they're great. A total necessity for the heavier drills.
