Because we are still talking garden and not farm :)

Floor Area shouldn't be too big of a concern, im looking at a new house specifically with enough land for a purpose built workshop which seems pretty easy goal where Im looking Somerset/Dorset/Wiltshire/gloucestershire, obviously not a new build :) I was thinking maybe a Minimax C30, or a...

Oh i'm just planning in my head what i need to budget for in the next couple of years and looking at my options. combination machine (probably Hammer or Minimax) 16" Bandsaw (no idea, maybe Startrite) Pillar drill (no idea) Drum Sander (maybe Jet) So pretty much everything :D I started this...

hence "common in the UK". but like most things made in china, you get what you pay for. i just wondered what medium priced options we had here UK manufactured or available as new product of decent quality.

I completely agree with service, I have yet to buy any of their machinery, I have some UJK stuff which is one of their brands and that's pretty good if not a little overpriced (i'm looking at you parf guide system that's essentially a couple of rulers and pins/forstner bit). the rider planes...

it all seems a bit slippery, but i know bugger all about accounts. I do know I think very highly of Axminster staff and service, but I wont buy any more of their own products and prefer brands that are highly regarded.

I have looked up all the retailers of woodworking equipment and everyone was a small entity with shirt form accounts. So, in all likelihood the UK market is c£100M at the top end, and probably a lot less. This isn’t really sufficient to enable a home grown manufacturing company to develop by...

and i'm not even a business, and by no means wealthy, i'm just too lazy to restore something and struggle with parts etc. As was ingrained in me as a child, don't buy cheap twice, buy good once. so then im guessing its a Minimax or Hammer combo in my future, I doubt I can go wrong with that...

I completely agree, and that was what I was looking for. We use to make awesome stuff, I wasn't sure if we still did and from what i hear, that age has passed.

I don't know anything about iTech, but they seem on the cheaper end. I think you can get a decent minimax for around 10-12k which seems to be around the same as a Hammer....and they are essentially Felder lol

Now I apologise in advance, this may come off as arrogant, snobby, damn, even full of white male privilege, but i have been wondering the following. Do we have any NEW medium-high end brands from the UK or common in the UK? Again I apologise for my lack of knowledge on this, I always assumed...

oh im late..... I have the OF1400 and a recently purchased DW625, << that one is purely for a table. I can only compare the 2, but the festools wind down is much quicker, the power is much smoother and just feels like it doesn't want to kill you. it's also quieter than the DW625 but that's...

I also respect your right to counter moan....thats coming up next... :D :D :D :D :D

i respect your right to moan :)

I was actually replying to someone, however it seems the post was deleted :/

Patreon.....id rather adopt a tiger than support someone make videos for youtube. A lot of the channels I have seen have 10-30k subscribers and then basically say I have quit my job to do youtube, please pay my bills. then there's the others, with 100k plus of machinery asking for handouts on...

Can i add, people that have a sea of blue rockler bits 'n' bobs with videos sponsored by Rockler and how amazing it all is. or could be worse, the Festool fanbois that have a sea of systainers but don't actually make anything...I say worse because as far as I know, Festool dont even give them...

Im really surprised this US guy has very few subscribers, he gives a LOT of information on hand planes etc. go check him out. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0U5TW ... tldQbLu6vQ

"AKA the boardroom" = cringy in itself. But i agree about "most" of the british guys. one reminds me of a thunderbirds puppet (guess which?), soo many do it because they think they can get sponsorship from tools companies so they don't need to get a real job.
