Yes still trying - my holly-grail is barley twist candle sticks in mid oak, like the ones you can buy cheaply in many second hand shops !

There are some of you out there who know far more than me about tools - I have a old sliding mitre saw (noisy on its 3 set of brushes and not accurate) and want to upgrade for christmas to a new or 2nd hand 240v Dewalt or Makita but would like the replacement to use 250 254mm size blades. I...

As usual there's more to it than first appears - I'm not one for hiring so looks like buying a set off ebay or where ever. Thanks Fred.

Just wondering if anyone has a view or experienced the; Ferrex Wood Jointer/Planer from Aldi - one of you may recognise its a rebadged something or other - what attract me is 3 years warranty and they take items back with out any fuss.
