Realy really nice. I like everything about it. Owen

Have you tried the daylight high luminx things. I have some and they are very good. Owen

I have the milwaukee 18volt and 28volt line which are very good and tough. However they seem to drop in and out of the Uk market so it can be a bit frustrating getting the full range which in the 12volt line includes some nifty little saws and pipe cutters. It is worth noting that the 12volt...

Seems a bit harsh. If you have only seen a period of growth/ stability you can hardly be expected to be prepared in the same as other older wiser people. Its not till it happens that you learn. We rarely seem to learn from other mistakes. One of the other issues we have to deal with is the older...

would it be possible to rotate the table saw round 180 degrees. I find that when i had mine like that it was a pain to walk round and cut something then do to the far side for the next stage. Kind of like the triangle in a kitchen. Owen

To make clear the square edge of the chisel meant that on the tails the botton corners became "squared" and then didn't fit tight and if you used the chisel to chop out the gap was glaring. Thought I was doing something wrong until i checked this forum for advice. The two cherries have done...

Sorry sounded a bit p**** more annoyed with myself for not proof reading. Just think its a shame that people always give out the same advice and it seems that the same people always contribute which is also is a shame. Forums only work well if we all contribute if we can. This is one of the few...

Whoops :oops: Not saying its a budget choice but if you buy a set you are talking a hundred quid, then I am saying you can buy fewer chisels that do the job and maybe buy something that does one job really well. I don't normally to say to much as I am never eloquent enough to get my point...

I have a set of the two cherrys. The steel is good and holds a good edge after the first couple of sharpens. However they are not good for dovetailing my experience of them was not good. They made a right mess of the corner of my dovetails. I recently cut about 60 by hand so tried a fair few...

All the decent planes I have ever bought have been veritas. I therefore feel i have grown to see them as the norm and therefore attractive. I feel form often follows function and these are very functional. I have been climbing for 17years and worn the same brand of rock boot for 12years. If i...

I had the makita 2704 for about 1 year and sold it for a sliding table saw. A hammer. I personally was really happy with the Makita and think it was a stirling piece of kit. IF this is half as good it is worth a risk. People rant on about plastic a if it breaks all the time. In reality its tough...

The big question is whether that will prove to big enough for all the tools in the future :wink:

I suppose I should ask how many there are of us around the Notts area that would be interested in a regular meet. owen

I am astonished, I don't know what is worst, That he has done it .. or that he admitted it to his peers. I have no children (well one on the way) but a 6 year old on a table saw, come on. :evil: If you are going to start your kids off surely you would use handtools. Next week he will be owning...

I have tried the rail approach when I had no space and I would say I would not like to go back after having a tablesaw. It may work for some people but its just so much easier to replicate stuff with a TS. With a bit of crafty second hand purchsing you could probably buy both. And if you have...

I think I will have to pop in Beeston Libary and check it out. Shame we don't have a Notts woodworking group seems to be dead popular in the states etc. I would join but I am useless at organisation. Owen

That is a very nice use of space. It is also so clean it will be interesting to see how it evoles as you get down to work. Owen

I think the benefits are less for the consumer but more so for the business side. We charge an admin fee for a service a £65.00 inc. With the Vat decrease I will make about £1500.00 more a year. It has allowed me to keep a member of staff on for an extra month till she finds a job so I am most...

That set looks really good. I have been making my own doors with through tenons etc. The cutting the mitre for the rails is a bit of a knack and very easy to get wrong. I have some wip to put up but its interesting to see all the different ways people have approached it. I have a spindle...

I have been making 5 doors for my new house,wip to follow, and it has been a batch process with the spindle moulder etc. It has been a real eye opener as to how making a living from this really be. When you are making a big project every step has to right and every mistake is cumilative. I never...
