    Way OT: Family Investment Companies

    Agreed, too many people and companies are trying to 'bend' the rules to fit their schemes and they may well find that those schemes will not be allowed, particularly employment benefit schemes, which are 'tax dodges' and not, in my opinion, worth the paper they are written on. Trust schemes, as...

    1st Router advice

    Hi Norm ? Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Which Triton did you get? I am also new to using a router and went for the TRA 001, which I will use in my own adapted table. Malcolm

    That is unless you do something about it. Everyone has the opportunity to take action to save tax. Even though tax rules may change in the future and may stop future investments, retrospective changes are most unlikely, so early action could save a great deal.

    Dehumidifier recommendation please

    I have had one of these from B&Q working for the last year or so working every day and it is excellent. Need to empty it most mornings as it's in the garage, but keeps the wood right and I never switch it off. Sometimes it stops if full. http://www.diy.com/departments/blyss-10 ... 239_BQ.prd...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    After polishing, I cover with top hard-coat of clear nail varnish as the little brushes in that are very easy to use. Malcolm

    Last this year

    Just finished these six bandsaw boxes off today. The tall one is called 'The Penny Tower' as the five drawers have five old pennies (1d) as handles. There is also a hidden drawer which has a silver sixpence as the drawer handle. Thought it would be a bit different, but perhaps it's been used...

    Just finished off these 5 bandsaw boxes. The taller one I call the 'Penny Tower' as the five drawer handles are made with the old pennies (1d) and there is a secret drawer that has an old silver sixpence as the handle. Malcolm

    Way OT: Family Investment Companies

    Certain Trusts can be set up to pass on to future generations and keeping it in the family is best rather than having outside Trustees. The smart ones do not generate income, but growth within the Trust as income is taxable at higher rates. Depending on how they are set up, the Trustees control...

    Way OT: Family Investment Companies

    Are you thinking about family Trusts to shelter assets for the family in years to come.? Various Trust schemes are available if this is what you had in mind, chat, but not too many financial advisers are tuned into this as it is a specialist area Malcolm

    Router table

    Easy to build your own but get the right insert plate as some position the router in poorer positions, control wise. Malcolm

    Thinking to buy a router

    That proves the point Mike, the winder in the Kreg plate is on the leff, front part of the plate. No need to move the fence at all, but I have seen the Triton TRA001 mounted like that on other plates. The Kreg is the one to go for. Malcolm

    Thinking to buy a router

    Being new to routers and having only just purchased the TRA001, I have fitted to to a Kreg plate and mounted in in a table. The position of the router is now that the height lock is on the left corner near the front and the switch on the right cornet, both not difficult to access. Reading what...

    Record Power Sabre 350 bandsaw

    Hi Nick, New models need to be seen as being good, but knowing Record Power, it could be an improvement. I have the BS400 and am very pleased with it indeed and it has plenty of good reviews on this forum. Malcolm
