    Strange Food Habits

    Love any lamb dish but not with mint. Prefer my meat fatty and the less cooked vegetables with it the better, salad is much nicer Crispy bacon in half an avocado. Proper South African made biltong.

    Best place to buy a Domino DF500 these days...

    Have a look at Toolfest, maybe a little cheaper. Although i think most of them are very similar price wise depending on the overall package deal.

    Rutlands tools

    I do agree with the brands you mention with the exception of Kreg. Kreg tools imo are too plasticity and flimsy and expensive for what they are. The web is full of stories about their router plates sagging. Some of their tools can best be described as gimmicks to solve a problem that's not...

    sliding mitersaw confusion

    We have one at work, which was the cause of a massive argument between our engineering director and myself. (We are not a manufacturing or carpentry business)He said that I have no idea how to set it up, so I asked him to show me since he knows it all. I accused him of being penny wise but...

    Anyone here had medication/operation for disk back problem?

    I had a herniated disc in 2010 due to a work injury involving a bull (but that's another story). I could hardly walk sit or stand for any length of time. I walked with great difficulty into the hospital on the 13th of August 2010 and walked out almost like a new man after successful surgery. To...

    Leadwood Desk

    Thank you Custard for a very informative thread well worth reading, there is a lot to learn from this thread. It has also brought back a lot of memories from my youth in South Africa. On the farm in the Limpopo province where I grew up this tree was mainly used for fencing posts because of its...

    Are there really people this uneducated?

    A professor of mathematics was driving past an institution for the mentally insane when one of the wheels from his car fell off. He was scratching his head wondering how to get going again when a patient gave him this advice: "Take one nut off each of the other wheels to fasten the wheel you...

I am happy with mine well built and accurate, the holes in the side is...

    Festool vacs...

    According to my literature it has the same vacuum as the others that you mention and volume i.e. 3700 L pm, but only a smaller capacity of 17 L. It is cheaper at N&B @ £169-00. I do support Axminster and have no connection with N&B. HTH Jan

    Haulage, Belgium to UK

    Robin at that price you could rent a Luton sized van with a tail lift and do it yourself. The biggest cost would be the ferry and the problems that could arise with the migrants in Calais or Dunkirk. There are a lot of Belgium, Dutch and German haulage firms that regularly come to the UK and...

    First half decent table saw wanted

    I have a Startrite 175 and it is a great saw. It works perfectly off a 13 amp socket. If it is an older Startrite make sure that it comes with a mitre fence since there are no aftermarket ones working straight out the box. Also you should be able to get a used Startrite for much less than £600...

Since then it was decided rather...
