I've been told that MR MDF comes in brown, but where I buy from it is always green. Ed

Is this any good? https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/240v ... pantograph Ed

I really like this Gasman - very elegant forms. Ed

I keep my LAJ and BUS with that blade angle and they seem to deal with pretty much everything without tearout. Ed

Looks like a really nice saw. Be interesting to see if this is the model Cisco is bringing in and what the price will be. Ed

Hmm, I have a piece of flat brass with no home - I might have a go. Ed

I agree, I could quite happily spend ALL my time improving the workshop and tinkering about with things. I need reminders to start projects, because when I get one started I remember that this is what I actually enjoy. Ed

I am quite taken with the idea of this, having said that I don't really ever have an issue with using my normal bench for joinery. I mustn't once again fall into the trap of allowing shop improvements to distract from real projects though! Ed

I scored 3.65 overall - is that any good? Ed

I agree entirely Ed

A man after my own heart... Ed

The Tormek is OK, but not the panacea to all sharpening needs. I bought one in the mistaken belief that it would do everything, but I find now I finish all my blades on diamond stones or PSA lapping film and only use the Tormek for regrinding. On this basis, it is a tremendously expensive thing...

O1 is fairly readily available in my experience. Most towns have a small metal stockholder - there must be one near you Martin? Ed

The vagaries of the postal system seem to be the main issue with Secret Santa running smoothly, but its difficult to see what can be done about that. I thought about a Secret Santa Bash, where you turn up with the gift and exchange with whoever makes it there with a gift on that day. The issue...

I managed to get my Scheppach HMS260Ci up the stairs to the workshop with the tables on. I'm in no rush to do it again though! Ed
