I bought a Festool CTL 36 E dust extractor, OF 1400 router and DF 500 domino today from the Axminster store in High Wycombe. This was made possible with a voucher and some gift cards. The only reason I opted for the 36 over the 26 was to make full use of the voucher so £225 discount rather than...

While SWMBO was shopping for flower pots and plants, I wandered around the store and had a look at their timber, well the only use is for a bonfire. Warped, bent you name it and it has a defect and what is more the prices are really steep for the inferior and utter cr.. they are trying to sell...

I am banned from watching Question Time by SWMBO. She says it is not good for my heart and the amount of swear words escaping from my mouth is not good at all. I am glad I did not watch last night.

There is less bacteria on toilet seats than on lift buttons..........

None of these saws are really suited to cut 8 x 4 sheets of plywood safely, it can be done but it would be better to cut the sheets into smaller sizes with a circular saw. Why not buy a track saw it can cope with everything these saws can do and you will save a bundle. The Festool plunge saw...

I am not a turner (not yet) so I can not really comment on its suitability as a timber for turning. It is a fairly durable hardwood species and I have spent many memorable evenings around a campfire made with this particular tree it is an excellent bbq timber. I know that many of the African...

I do agree about the handrails, you could spill your drink stumbling up the steps. :P

The Grand Designs house of the year series, I think last week, showed an architect in Northern Ireland created a home using 4 shipping containers at a cost of £135000.

That is the most difficult part for me nothing like receiving a parcel to make the little boy in me come out.

I have notified Axminster and Festool on Monday the saw was collected and a new one delivered today The base of this saw is flat and I am as happy as a pig in you know what. Good service from Axminster and good advice from Festool. So a big thank you to both companies.

Bought a new Festool TS55 tracksaw from Axminster and it rocks not because it is good but the baseplate is not flat. My first Festool and a bad experience due to a lack of QC. The cost of Festool products are high and as such they should live up to the expected standard. I have not registered...

+1 for this =D>

My first car was a Mazda 323 during my student days (1979 -1980) When I started working I had company vehicles 4x4's but kept the car. In 1992 I gave it to my sister's eldest son in 1999 he passed it on to his younger brother. The car was scrapped in 2009 after an accident. One of the worst...

It is not just this seller there are two more with exactly the same but only about £4 to £5 pound cheaper

How is it possible to charge this absurd amount for sawhorse brackets http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2pc-JOINER-SA ... 4aa16c4146 Ridiculous

This is exactly how daft and stupid PETA and its supporters are. http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/pe ... spartanntp One of our members need to be careful they may even sue him for using it as his avatar

Took the day off work to attend the Festool roadshow in Braintree today, but I then decided not to go. I do know that I want/ need the plunge saw and at a later date the domino. I think this was the right decision since I am easily led astray into buying tools that I want but not necessarily need.

The Springboks also found out about Japanese technology this past Saturday in the rugby world cup :mrgreen:

You can not compare the Japanese with the others. Japan has always been streets ahead when it comes to engineering.
