Unfortunately the offer expired yesterday. Hopefully they are like buses and we just wait for the next one!! Brian

I would assume this would be covered under the Party Wall Act and your friends' neighbour should have informed all parties affected? Brian

I thought a 'jointer' differed from a 'surface planer' in terms of the former's ability to cut joints such as tenons - the reason for the short side extension on the infeed table (such as you see on this model) and the greater depth of cut. The Wadkin above doesn't have that so I would say it...

Hi Neil, I've sent you a PM Brian

Can I attach a Triton router and Incra fence to it :D :D

Hi Chems The wood of choice for carving is Lime (Tilia spp). It has a very consistent, but bland grain, unlike mahogany. Brian

Hi Woody Forget the Whisperer - it's degenerated into a series of long commercials. Have a look at this video. The rest of the series is also worth looking at as well. Brian

Hi Woody Planer/thicknessers both remove wood but the difference is in how they are used. Planers (more correctly, surface planers (jointers in US)) are used to produce a flat surface on a face of the wood. The wood is passed over the cutter block and across the outfeed table which, being...

Hi Olly You're probably right but there's always that niggling doubt! My concern at the moment is machinery weight. I'm about to move into a small second floor unit where there is a restriction on the floor loading so I'm looking for a compromise between practicality and need and I'd prefer a...

Hi Roy Maybe you can get one and tell me what it's like then? I'm going down the separate jointer-thicknesser route at the moment but can't decide whether a 6" capacity will suffice (thinking Fox or Axminster CI jointer). It most likely will but there will always be that job that call for...

I enquired about it a few weeks back but haven't decided yet. I didn't notice the delivery cost but it's only £30 more than Axminster charge for delivery so you'd still be £100 better off? With rising fuel costs I think many companies will be forced to up their carriage rates soon? Brian

Hi Dan I spent a long time looking at your website for the simple reason that you have a lot of good stuff to see. I also like the blog as it's good to see a bit of the design and construction that goes into a piece of custom furniture. As Dave says, we are an inquisitive bunch so I'm sure you...

I've been watching it from the start and I like the style. It's warts'n'all and I like the way he deals with his mistakes - just do it again. It makes a change to some of the more polished (and sterile) woodworking shows out there. What's even better is the fact it's not being done to try to...

I've never used it freehand as it's been in my router table since I bought it but for the money (£60) I would highly recommend this from Screwfix. It comes with 1/4" and 1/2" collets and is powerful enough for table work. Brian

I've had the Erbauer in my table for the last year from Screwfix and for the money it's been superb. Bit of a hassle getting the springs out but would recommend it for the built-in micro-adjust. Brian

Anyone have one of these P/T's from Woodford's? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

Hi Jonathan Any feedback on your new machine? Brian

I don't know if they stock it but you could try phoning Barnes Branch. Not too far from you in High Wycombe. Brian

volume = length x cross section (bxh) so length = volume/cross section 1 cu ft (12 x 12 x 12) as 6 x 1 = 1/(0.5 x 0.833) = 24 linear ft easier in inches (1 cu ft = 1728 cu in) 1 cu ft as 6 x 1 = 1728/(6 x 1) = 288 in = 24 linear ft Hope this helps? Brian
