    aaarrghhhh. budget Insurance

    The paper certificate and cover note are worthless. The police are well aware it is a common insurance avoidance scam to get these issued then cancel the direct debit. You have what appears to be valid insurance, the policy was cancelled when the DD was cancelled. Hence the police will go on...

    I've still got plenty to do on the cabinet but have also made a start on the top. As said before, this is made of 2 layers of 18mm MRMDF. The full size template is useful here for marking out the screws and making sure they aren't where I want to route for the insert or t tracks. Lots of...

    wickes plywood

    Wickes, b and q etc do not have great reputations for timber. I got the ply for my router table from Alsford in Cobham. They have a panel saw if you need it cut to managable sizes Mark

    Do you put a finish on your jigs?

    Just been reading an article that advises wax on ply parts and shellac on "real" wood. No mention of mdf. Mine are mainly ply but never bothered to put a finish on. What do you do? Mark

    Here's the latest The front of the base getting oak lippings Then the small drawers that will sit either side of the router housing need some guides to act as runners and stop them tipping. I should have fitted these before I glued up the base. Instead I made it hard for myself and needed...
