Purely for fun. But also, I plan on making 4 sets, and can't justify spending £120 on the Veritas ones! (even though they're better) Costs : Rods : ~£1 each (needs 4) £4 Nuts : 30p each (needs 8) £2.40 Plastic: ~30p per print (needs 4) £1.20 Expoxy : negligible Washers : negligible So about...

Sure, I'll add it here when I get home.

Yeah - it does seem quite strong, and I could always increase the infill, and I'm adding the metal bushing. As for marring the wood, it doesn't seem to, but I am going to adding some felt furniture tabs anyway.

You're probably right, but it seems strong enough so far. I haven't used anything other than PLA because it's easy and cheap. Which would you recommend?

Just PLA

Decided to try and copy the Veritas 4 way speed clamp. I am very happy with the results. All you need is finger strength to tighten the nuts to apply enough pressure to close the joints. I also really like how you can fine tune each corner. I already have some a ideas for improvements - Adding...

Ah ok. It's a great design though. I can see it being very hand, especially with the curved inserts.

I've had this saw a while now and its a very good budget 'first' saw. However, I am now looking to upgrade when I can, mostly due to the fence. The fact that it locks both ends is both good and bad. Good in that it is very solid, and bad in that it often is out of square (or parallel to the...

Given how well it has sold, I would have thought other companies have been designing a competitor for several years, just waiting for the patent to run out. However, I doubt it will be that much cheaper. Just look at the Bosch/Dewalt track saws. They're not that much cheaper than Festool

My usual workflow - Decide to try something for the first time - Try to figure it out as I go along .... as how hard can it be really? - Make a huge mess of it - Go back in for a cup of tea and research it online - come back out and do it much quicker, better and with less swearing - completely...

Ah - good to know! I only use it as I don't like the plasticy look of water based varnishes. What wiping varnish do you use?

When using Danish oil, I apply liberally, wait 10 minutes and then wipe off. However, I have noticed that it often dries with shiny spots, such as in tight corners, or the open grain of Oak where wiping didn't quite get it all. Which then means a lot of sanding to make the surface uniform. Do...

I'm always on the look out for hand tool channels. So sick of T-track and cross cut sled videos! :D

Does anyone else have a real issue remembering character names? ... I've been watching since season one, and for the life of me I only know a few of the main characters names. It's shocking. Yet I can still remember the license reg of the car I had before my previous two. WTF! I started that...

They do exist, but you'll be lucky to find one that fits. You could pop down to wickes and get something like this for a few quid. Be warned though, you'll lose suction by splitting it.

Custard, what are those 'p' shape things called?

You usually see people glue on a 45 degree block, and then remove it after

I heard a story about someone cutting their toe off with a lawn mower, and then the toe flying off and taking out their eye. I'm sure it's not true, but pretty damn unlucky if it is.

I don't understand. How did you not see/hear the spinning blade of death? :shock:
