The John Lewis idea is the one I like the most and have given great thought too, but unsure how to proceed. . I think your view of the "John Lewis" option would change when you see their contract. As with all of the big multiples they know how to squeeze their suppliers and whatever your...

I have a Worksharp and think it is a great piece of kit. I have consigned my japanese waterstones and Scheppach grinder to a cupboard. Not sure that I agree with Doug B about the limitations on removing material. I have a wheel set up with a coarse paper and have used it to re-profile some...

The Tormek jigs work on a Worksharp. As for an axe, you could use the adjustable tool rest.

Try a Worksharp, i have mothballed my grinder and water stones since buying one.

I suggest that you post this on http://arbtalk.co.uk which is a site for arborialists. There are a lot of people on there with Alaskan mills who may be interested in your ash.

But do you enjoy what you are doing, surely that is the most important thing?

I have bought a few things from Rutlands and they have always delivered quickly, normally next day. My experience of Axminster is different. Last week I ordered some stuff from Axminster (that Rutlands didn't stock) paid for delivery (between 1 and 3 days because I wanted the stuff for a...

I sometimes wonder whether the highest bidder is actually connected to the seller. Looking at the winning bidder's history, 37% of his bids were with this particular seller. I find it hard to believe that someone buying a band saw wouldn't have done a bit a market research and know what the new...

You could start a "Professionals" thread but for some of the items in your list of topics above, but I would respectfully suggest that other professionals are the last people to talk to. I have a number of clients that are professionals and over the years I have lost count of the number of...

I bought some of these from Rutlands and have been very pleased with them. http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+woodworkin ... ta+m_dk136 http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+woodworkin ... ta+m_dkwk1 If you want pipe clamps, Axminster sell them

I have just bought the Lidl jig saw, light, laser, 4 blades all for £19.99. Just cut up a few sheets of ply and for the money i have no complaints.

Did you get the standard spindle? Mine died after about 2 days and i replaced it with a Dewalt. I think inventible must have had a bad batch because quite a few had problems. As for advice on the build , i think the various videos on Youtube and the inventible site will help with the build...

Apologies for not responding to the original post sooner but I have an XCarve, bought from Robbosavvy and now up and working quite well. Anyone who has been on the Inventables website forum will read about the various issues with the machine and although I have had a few frustrating moments I am...

Personally I thought it looked ok a third from the end (golden rule and all that). From an aesthetic point of view, if you want to centralise, shouldn't the stamp be placed so that the T of Tools is on the centre point? This will mean that the text is equi-distant from each end? If you start...

I also bought this set from Rutlands and have been very pleased with them so far, £50 well spent imho.

I was going to make a centre steady and was in the process of costing wheels etc when i saw that Charnwood were selling the Robert Sorby version for £49. (See here http://www.charnwood.net/shop/category/ ... tre-steady ) Ordered and delivered within 24 hours and it is a solid piece of kit, well...

I have a Charnwood bandsaw and have been very pleased with it. I bought an ex-demo item and then fitted a blade from Ian at tuff saws. Charnwood have an open day in august (15th) and according to the promo email they are selling off recon and ex demo machines as well as offers on new stuff. I...

Brilliant =D>
