I have actually got a lathe but its the proper type (for metalworking - making useful stuff) not for this woodturning nonsense. I mean, how many fruit bowls and candlesticks are you going to need? :lol: On the Domino front my forecast is for a high probability of purchase in the near...

Back from Harrogate with mixed feelings. Was really good to meet up and chat with Steve, Matty, Jonny D and Richard. However, on the whole too much woodturning for my liking and jumble sale style tat tool stands. Only thing I bought was pie and chips (which was a bit overpriced but...

Well yes, now you say that there are some similarities - not enough pictures, small writing... :lol: Ed

I've got it, but I can't say its something I look at very often, if at all. Its not exactly easy reading. Ed

good suggestion Richard. How about 12:00 at the Leeds College of Art stand? Ed

Definitely. I am bringing Steve Maskrey so we can have a Northeners UKW meet up. Any suggestions of where and when to meet? Ed

Anyone going?

Why quick ? Ed

Reconsidering that if theres no Festool stand since thats what I wanted to look at... Ed

Thats a shame, I was planning on weighing up a purchase on Sunday. The exhibitors list has someone down as selling Festool - presumably not there? Ed

Steve I'm thinking of going on Sunday, so could offer you a lift - J25 is not too far from me. Ed

Is that not carved in rather than stuck on? Ed

Well, just been reading the Festool website and they refer to it as a biscuit joiner, so shows how wrong I am! Ed

I am actually considering buying one, with my recently received annual bonus (no I am not a banker). Just deciding if its the thing that gives the most bang for the buck. I think its misleading that they always get compared to biscuit joiners because whilst there is some crossover they seem to...

I disagree. I've made a few tables using double biscuits to join the legs to the rails and never had one break. I am of course talking small coffee tables, occasional tables and the like, not a dining table. Biscuits work fine in these instances. Ed

If its only a surface rust from a few days I'd go at with one of the rubberised abrasive Garryflex blocks, which should do it. You can get them from Axminster and I find them most useful. Ed

Shame, I think thats just too far for an evening for me. Would love to meet Mr. L-N though... Ed

I use HSS bits for brass. Ed

Are they actually wood, or plastic that looks like wood? Ed
