    I found this bit of wood you see!

    Nice box. I ike the range of colours in the wood. I always think its a shame when only the same coloured piece of timber is used. Owen

    Fantastic that, I really like the way the drawers are set slightly forward. You have got a lovely warmth to the wood what finish did you use? Somone is going to be very happy with that. Owen

    I did worry about the ventilation and have got some very substantial cable holes, However i am monitoring it in case i need to drill some more. The back panel will easily come out. Its a good point though Owen

    Krenov book arrived

    I am a little confused here, that was a pretty complete answer wasn't it? Am i missing something? This seems a broad discussion on techniques isn't it? Owen

    Krenov book arrived

    Its a difficult one to explain excitement, i come from a science degree and i left it because i was rubbish at it and i didn't like the clinical nature and obsessive precision. The more things tend towards the mark of perfection sometimes the less can be seen of the maker and for ME it leaves...

    Krenov book arrived

    No i feel the opposite, their environment feels sterile it just doesn't seem like the same world. The information is very good its just it doesn't excite me. Owen

    Krenov book arrived

    I think this is really quite interesting stuff. As i understand it the krenov guys has been teaching at some very influential school in America for years so he must have been questioned about technique quite alot or maybe that leaves some holes in American education. For my part i quite like his...

    Wellingtonia - Sequoiadendron giganteum (Giant Redwood)

    When i was on holiday i saw the "Giant Redwoods" which are very nice trees. The national park says the main use is for matchsticks as the wood is a bit soft. However i would think this could be taken with a pinch of salt as they were probably trying to stop people chopping them down. Owen

    Router for handheld use

    I have a trend T5 which is a very good router and i think you can get the perles identikit version for £80.00. I also have a festool 1/2inch that i bought is a moment of flushness. I find i always reach for the festool purely because it is better designed, as i am a hobby user i find it easier...
