    Bench Dog Rail Clips by KJS-signs or UJK Rail Clips ?

    Has anyone used these Bench / Parf dog rail CLIPS ? They look like a good idea but, I'd love to hear from any of you woodworking experts who might have used them. OR......do you think that the UJK Rail Clips might be better? Description says for Parf dogs so, hopefully they fit the MFT holes...

    What is your most useful tool

    Since I believe that, every time a ruler and pencil or marking knife are used , there is always an element of error, I mostly measure once with my Kreg marking gauge - see photo [Kreg Multi-Mark™ Measuring and Marking Tool] and then transfer the exact same measurement. Here's a video of it in...

    MFT sacrificial strip and where to put it.

    My thoughts exactly. Yes, why cut out a perfectly good bit of the table when it could be used for, in my case, at least a few months.........great minds..think alike: )

    MFT sacrificial strip and where to put it.

    You're dead right Wicker man. I do need to give this considerable thought before forking out some money. Thanks for giving me a nudge to think twice and spend carefully : )

    MFT sacrificial strip and where to put it.

    Very helpful ! Yes, I am considering a Benchdogs fence for sure and am also trying to decide on which dogs as there are quite an array available and, never having used an MFT before, it's a wee bit daunting. However, watched a video which highly recommended Quad dogs as they can be tightened in...

    MFT sacrificial strip and where to put it.

    I'm considering buying an MFT style top and have been watching many of Peter Millard's superb videos. He really knows his stuff and is such a very personable guy. The way he presents these videos in such a friendly, unassuming way, it feels as if he's talking directly to me. So, I'm wondering...

    Tips for improving woodworking accuracy

    I think you may be referring to a "story stick". It may be an American term . But here's an old coot giving a very good example of what i think you're talking about:

    6" or 150mm T-Square or T-Ruler

    I had actually looked at this a while back but it looked a bit bulky for my purpose. Upon revisiting I see that the base is removable so, I'm definitely considering. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Mike.

    6" or 150mm T-Square or T-Ruler

    I have searched just about everywhere to find a small T-Square, preferably plastic , just for doing some layout work on a table and can find nothing. I already own an 18" (460mm) one but need something smaller. Does anyone have any suggestions please ?

    I blame YouTube, how many more Americanisms are we going to have to suffer ?

    I have great little anecdote from when I lived in Texas for almost 30 years. In my first job, which was in a factory, way back in 1979, I asked the supervisor, who was a short squat woman, "Can I borrow a rubber?" I just really wish I had a video showing the desperate look of shock on her...
