Sorry Pete; I'll go out and update mine straight away :D Phil

Mobile phones are an ideal example of today's throw away society. I've had mine for three years now and it still works as good as the day I bought it. Can't see why people have to change their phones every six months.

Your explanation was fine Quinnless, it's just that I'm thick. (homer) Phil

Thanks Quinness, but your explanation just makes my head hurt :D Phil PS welcome to the forum. PS you have authenticated the meaning that it is all Japanese to me!

Thanks again Alun and Martin. We are looking forward to the move, but we will miss Jersey :( . The house we are going to rent doesn't have a garage, so once again the workshop will have to be packed up until I can either buy a house with a garage or build my own. We all know what I would...

Thanks for your help guys :D . Just had a look at Snainton's, looks like they will be ideal. Might even have a go a woodturning! Phil

We'll be moving to Scarborough in a month's time and was wondering if any of the members are from that way? Also does anyone know of any good timber merchants in the area? Cheers Phil

It's also called Visquene. Phil

Looking Good Rich. I especially like the trestle with the climbing plants, it'll look great when they get established.

I'm surprised you haven't seen the wooden plane before Rich. we used them in school in the early seventies, we called it a Jack plane. I thought that most schools used them at that time.

Apologies Dave. On reflection, or more importantly sober :oops: , it appears that I overreacted to your advice. The point I was trying to make at the time is that we are more tolerant of others mistakes, or lack of Internet etiquette. You were, but at the time I didn't think so. Phil.

You know what Jenx, I think your spot on. If i practised 12 hours a day to learn how to play guitar or snooker, I reckon i would be very good to say the least. Unfortunately the majority of us have to support ourselves by working eight hours a day. That's not to say that the person who picks...

Come on Dave why be pedantic? All he wants to do is sell a machine. I don't give a flying f*** how it is worded, if I want the machine I'll respond. Internet etiquette doesn't really come into it. Phil PS. I don't even want to mention that the poster may be dyslexic or have some other form...

Unfortunately guys , except for my TS200, all my power tools are noisy, even the dust extractor :( I'm only using the Makita for small jobs like jewelry boxes or toys so my ears aren't ravaged.

Fantastic paint job LN, let's hope his mate doesn't crash it.

Haven't really tried it for any length of time, but all my sanders are noisy :( .

Thanks for the heads up Ray, looks like a great site.

I listened to Johnnie Walker's "Sounds of the Seventies" on the Beeb's listen again service. Wonderful retro and great insight from Johnnie. :D

I will admit that I am not too clued up on this topic, so I can't really comment. However, the amount of greenhouse gases that this tiny island produces is a drop in the ocean compared to China, India, Russia and the USA. Whilst we get fleeced by the Government in so called "Green" taxes...

I have just bought this palm sander and I would recommend it. http://www.axminster.co.uk/sessionID/BJF/product-Makita-BO4555-Palm-Sander-715098.htm It comes with 30 x 320 grit velcro sided sheets of sandpaper as well as a pack of 60 grit. Can't fault the delivery either, ordered Saturday and...
