Great insight looking at all those photos, thanks for sharing Andy

I prefer oranges myself #-o I'll get my coat :roll: When I was doing my apprenticeship, college told us students to forget Standard Imperial and Fahrenheit, cos the future would be metric only. Problem was they didn't tell the firms where I worked afterwards =D> :roll:

No problems for me. I've bought at least twice from them and 3-5 days was about right. I do think some of their stuff is way overpriced imho :cry:

When I think of all the blades, like yours, that I've binned over the years when I was engineering, little thinking of trying wood turning :cry: :oops: #-o ....spilt milk etc....... :)

Thanks guys, very reassuring. Not sure where to keep it yet, but getting about 30 pieces approx 2' diameter x 12" deep. Gonna need a bigger lathe #-o Thanks for the advice, any mistakes will go in my stove :oops: :lol:

Anyone know if Scots Pine is any good for wood turning please? It's newly sawn, so would need seasoning, I guess ? Cheers :?

Nice one Woody, if I could get to be half as good as you, I would be happy. (hammer) Very inspirational ! =D> =P~

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320832786669? ... 1438.l2648 This comes with router all for about £62, could be a quick starter for you, good luck.

Hi OPJ, I'm undecided also as to whether make a combined router/table saw, or a stand alone router table, i'm gonna put it on t'back burner a bit. This is a neat router table I really like, and am liking more each time I see it. Hope it helps you...

My 2p worth is that I started to research my best way of using sawdust as a fuel last year, after getting a gas bill for over £300 for the winter quarter; gas boiler + gas cooking. :cry: :x I looked at pellet stoves and pellet making machines (lots of stuff on youtube), the cost I thought was...

I found this topic/thread very interesting, and thanks for the photos and general advice of those who have built one, you are very inspirational =D> =D> This is in my list of stuff to make, but still setting up my workshop and getting rid of clutter or useful junk as I prefer to call it...

Aha !! I have a cunning plan !! :evil: I got a Henry vac & his bigger sister, a wet & dry vac, for a starter. Then I will connect a drum between the vac & table, to collect the large woodchips. A local company have a damaged dust collector which I hope to rescue for next to nowt, this is plan B...

Looks really good Colin, I might nick an idea or 2 from you =P~ Very clever, I plan to try your idea asap, thanks =D>

Thanks condeesteso, I was thinking along the same lines. My top will be about 40" L x 24" deep, sub base is 3/4" mdf, with 150mm x 15mm conti board top which will be butted up to tee track initially to see if it works out ok. So I guess the router centre will be 8" from the back, until someone...

Good point, thanks Marcros !

Why does the router table top nearly always have the router central? What is your idea of what is best? I guess there is no definitive answer ? I plan to make a hinged top to make router cutter alterations easier, and have also bought a Trend Insert Plate for this project. I plan to make some...

Really neat Henry, and inspirational, where did you get the wood please?

Good idea Bob, I am looking for something on these lines on THAT auction site. Bear in mind I am only after a basic DIY/Hobby machine to whittle away the hours. I am from a toolmaking/engineering background so have the skills. Cheers guys

I am setting up a small workshop and am seeking advice on planer/thicknessers please. Lots of brands out there !! Anyone tried the Clarke or Draper brand? Are these 2 any good, or should they be avoided? Any brands I should stay clear of ? I only have about £200 to spend but any savings help...

I've been looking into router tables for a while now, to buy or not to buy, that is the question? :oops: I spent some time on ebay but noticed most sell for nearly retail cost or more when post is added. Durrrrr !!! #-o I found some FREE plans on various sites including Youtube. Google &...
