I don't know the sander, but on the subject of Mafell generally I can say that the saw I have is excellent quality. It feels better put together than most other power tool brands, although I cannot speak for Festool. Ed

I think CNC Paul has it - route the circles in individual planks and then laminate them together. Ed

Rabone Chesterman make a thin 150mm that is suitable. Personally I have moved away from using the ruler trick recently. Ed

By the time the LN offering gets to the UK I'm sure you'll have been through 2 or 3 different setups for shooting and be ready for the new new thing :lol:

I though this would never happen; http://blog.woodworking-magazine.com/bl ... agazine%29 Be interesting to see what transpires... Ed

Digital SLR is without doubt the way to go. Big initial outlay but worth every penny spent in my view. I am now mainly using a 50mm 1:1.8 lens which is working out really well for furniture shots. Ed

I don't recall any real detail being covered on woodworking machinery when I did my SMSTS - its a bit too specific. I take it you work in construction? The list of stuff you need now is getting ridiculous. I have SMSTS (5 days) IOSH (4 days) First Aid (4 days). If thats not bad enough, now my...

I think Trend are poor. I have a couple of DeWalts and think they are excellent. A 626 in the router table and a 624 for handheld stuff and if buying now I would do the same again. The deal at Axminster of the 625 with the new router raiser seems a reasonable offer. Ed

Yep thats the ones; http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Mill ... 208188.htm Ed

You could use the smallest size of Miller Dowel which comes with a matched drill bit and in a variety of woods. I'd also second Robs endorsement of the Veritas cutters. Ed

Oh god, not again....... :lol:

Thanks for the comments guys. This was something I designed in my head and sketched on the whiteboard in the workshop, before turning into a CAD drawing. I generally reckon on doing that for all projects to ensure things turn out how I want them to. The photography is something I work quite...

I've received what I think is my secret santa gift, so its gone under the tree. Just hope its not a delivery of smoked salmon or something that should have gone in the fridge! Its near the radiator so I'll know in a few days... Ed

My current setup of 3 main planes are all bevel up with adjustable mouths. With this it is easy to close the mouth up tight, so because everyone says you should, I do. That said, through experimentation recently I am increasingly thinking that higher blade angles are the key to combatting tear...

Thanks mate. Although it was always intended as a gift for someone, as soon as it was finished it was evident that my wife wanted to keep it. I can see a Mk.2 coming along soon.... Ed

Just a reminder folks that posting deadlines are nearing (unless your flush enough to use Special Delivery) Info from Royal Mail is here; ftp://ftp.royalmail.com/Downloads/publi ... let_v1.pdf Only a handful of people were let down on Christmas Day last year, I'd love to think we can make it...

I have a little local place I use - I just assumed most towns have somewhere similar you just have to track them down. http://bettermetalstores.wordpress.com/ This one is my local - not suggesting you would want to use them, but I'll bet theres a local equivalent in one of your neighbouring...

Thanks for the comments guys. John - I like the chiselled finish on the base of yours, in contrast to the smooth uprights. Matty - I really like the ellipse offset within an ellipse, so I'm glad you spotted it. Thanks for looking, Ed

Looks like a brilliant job Mailee Cheers, Ed

Is it not working out well for you then? Ed
