    Best shop vac for up to £100.00

    Well I have to say the Karcher is brilliant! Very quiet and I would say well below the 75db they say on the spec and miles quieter than the old hoover I was using. The construction is excellent and I can see that lasting a long time, as to the motor, who knows?. I like the click in hose...

    The future of wood

    How long do you think it will be before wood is no longer the best material to make things out of wood with :? I have a bad feeling that simply because I am getting back into my woodworking after some years, there will be some major new technical innovation that will be such an improvement on...

    Best shop vac for up to £100.00

    I'm fed up with looking to be honest, plus every time I try to save a few bob it ends up a disappointment in some way so I just got it from scrotefix, I did order a set of bags and I already have an omnipole cyclone so I'll be a busy boy tomorrow with any luck and a lack of disasters.

    Best shop vac for up to £100.00

    Thanks for that guys, I looked at the screwfix titan stuff and some others similar but just couldn't make up my mind. There's a lot out there, I sent a Nilfisk thing back to screwfix in the summer after going through all this.That looked okay and had some good feedback but it was a very poor...

    Best shop vac for up to £100.00

    As per title, just need something to hoover up sawdust and attach to a router etc. Not looking for major dust control, just cheap and basic, my old hoover died today :cry: bloody nuisance.

    Morrells Mdf sealer with little greene paint is it possibl

    I just painted some MDF with little green paint, first was a re-skin of a garage door in Medite tricoya where I used their aluminum primer straight onto the mdf followed by their intelligent eggshell exterior. Bloody fantastic stuff, I tested both the primer and eggshell to nigh on destruction...

    Stanley No 7 new or old

    It may or may not be true, but I've always been a bit bemused by this story. It is beyond doubt that Alan Peters knew very well how to use a plane to good effect, but for most things other than straightening, a no. 7 is simply not the best tool for the job. Why would someone who knew planes as...

    Stanley No 7 new or old

    Thanks for the replies guys and the links, much appreciated. I think I'm going to order a new one and have an actual look at it, I'm intrigued now to see how a modern day accountant designed plane stacks up. It will almost certainly go back, based on what I have read here but at least I will...

    Stanley No 7 new or old

    I'm looking to get one soon but would appreciate some advice, is a current, new No 7 really a poorly made tool in comparison to the older second hand ones I see on eBay? I have read they are made in china or somewhere now and not as good but not much info as to whats actually wrong with them...

    Gotcha Sam, I completely agree with what you mean now :D that guy, though harmless, instantly got on my nerves too, I got the wrong end of the dowel there mate, sorry. As for the Aussies, sorry they are fair game and would expect nothing less from an English superior :ho2 .

    Best diy router lift ??

    Triton routers are for wimps and Aussie *******, what you need is a fifteen odd year old DeWalt 621 1/4" like me! A proper mans router for doing stuff with. Mind you if I had the money... I don't consider it a faff, I would if I were making stuff to enable me to eat, but it is my hobby to...

    Best diy router lift ??

    Sam, there is no way that guy is video-graphically sophisticated enough to be indulging his ego and if he is, I cannot detect any evidence of it. He is just bloke trying to tell people how he dicked about and came up with a solution he likes. I love that! I can't watch anymore of this type...

    Best diy router lift ??

    Its the actual control of the lift that I like. The timber build part is a bit J Arthur but I can ignore that because he's a bloke poncing about in his garage like me. I was particularly impressed with his using a piece of copper wire for getting the profile of the router (not seen that...
