    Recommendations for a finish for Ash furniture

    Best Router Bits

    I was told by someone, whilst I was down in Axminster, that he believed the Axcalibur WHITE cutters were made in the same factory as the Leigh cutters.

    Best Router Bits

    Hi Nikolai, There are two types of Trend router bits. The green ones are for the hobby user and will be cheaper than Wealden, but they also will not be as good a quality.

    Need a way of hanging a media centre

    Hi Kris, I would mount the television on the wall. It'll be much safer and, imho, would look much neater. Neil

    Improving accuracy

    Steve Maskery designed a wonderful jig for measuring when using a track saw. It must be available on one of his DVDs. Have a look here. Neil

    ROUTER BITS

    Mock, if your router only takes 1/4 or 8mm I would strongly recommend that you go down the 8mm route as normally the cost is about the same and you get much more steel for your money with 8mm. Oh and +1 for Wealdens.
