One of the problems Andy, is were these tools purched new or second hand and how old are they and in what condition. As mentioned, photos would help. Perhaps someone local to you who is a member of UKworkshop may be prepared to help you wuith advice. Anyone in the area? I know that if I...

Thats a good idea. You could also use the Abranet material, which should last a lot longer.

Same here Bob. I use blower heaters in the winter and in the main working area I have the very thick golf matting that was used in driving ranges. They usually have some old ones stored and are god to work on. I store some timber on the rafters, but not too much as the maing timber storage is...

I always try and have the fence as close to blade as possible for stability. Sometimes this may be difficult with small/fine timber because of the guides, but then I put a level wood strip between the fence and the work . Malcolm

Thanks for that advice. So if I mix the blue in the normal way with resin (and hardener?) and lay that down, but just a smidge short of the level needed, but then mix, say, white with resin and hardner and add, just a small 'slick' and move it gently with a stick, would that be more like the...

Hi Glynne, nice table and finish. As mentioned, I have not done this before and simply seking advice. I thought a streaked effect would liik good, maybe a bright deep blue and white, or other colours. Wanted to see if any mambers had tried this. I have several nice bits of timber with voids...

Thanks for the quick reply. Have you actually tried this yourself or guessing? Does the syringe method give that 'streaking' effect with the colours blending at the edges? Malcolm

I am about to try some deep resin filling, but would like to add a colour that 'streaks. Rather than completly mix the added colour, would the streaking effect be possible by just adding a few drops and simply swirling it in to leave a streak effect, or would that not work? Never used resin...

Alls well that ends well. Just a point on spinning the wheel though, I believe it can only be done without the blade being fitted. Am I right on that? Malcolm

Try and have a chat with Ian John on the phone. He is very busy, but if you can catch him, he is very knowledgable and extreemly hepful. He may suggest you only need 2 or 3 in total but they will be right if you explain what you need them for. Best Sawblade maker around. Malcolm

Excellent. I need to have a go at rthat again as my earlier efforts were shameful. Well done

A weighty problem and somewhat kinky, but sounds realistic to me.

If you can get to a plug, the electric blowers are more powerfull and continuious?

If you have changed a blade, then the top knob (6) has to work in order to release the blade. You may not see this happen, but have you tested the tensin by tapping the side of the blade. The sound will change as tension alters. I had an older De-Waly when I started and it is a very slight...

So many trellis inserts to paint, so with a few hooks, hanging them up to dry was easier.

Have a great day doing what you love to do, as long as it's legal. What are your plans for the next 10 years? Malcolm

Sales have varied from time to time. There are ways to promote your site, but I rarely bother as I have a hobby not a business, so don't push it. Some months I can sell 8-10 and other months nothing. I tend to do a sale one a year in November and offer a 20% discount, which makes several sales...

Tuffsaw is certainly the place to go, but you may have to manage with 1/4 inch unless you have guides that can cope with a 1/8", as they are very narrow. The 1/16" is not available as far as I am aware, but a special guide would be needed if you could get one. I managed with a 1/4" for some...
