    Triton TRA001 dust extraction

    Hey Matt on my last table i found some old grey ribbed hose that was exactly the right size for screwing into the triton port on the router, think it came form some dewalt gear, i then made an adapter out of some pvc plumbing off cuts that fit snugly into that tube, with a bit of bodging the...

    Itech 01332 table saw, good bit of kit.

    its is mate, but like any saw its only as good as the way its setup... i had the sp12 for 12 years, great thing, it literally worked 7 days a week with only a hand full of days off a year, was great, but totally wasted in a drum makers workshop. the only time i have to cut sheets & need a panel...

    Finished! Making a ukulele

    beautiful build, my former business partner was a guitar maker before we teamed up, I always thought he would build some in our workshop one day, i never got to see him make any before he got out of the wood work game, love the craft & Uke's are just so inviting to look at as an instrument.
