    could i build a workbench with only £300??

    Another vote for a softwood frame. Built the basic frame using some 2 1/2 by 5 or 6 in a L shape for the legs. Cross pieces using CLS ex 2x4 (doubled up in places) - half lapped, glued and pegged. Rock solid with no movement. I also made the top using CLS but put a beach front to it. Can't...

    E Book Reader

    Hi, I think with the page going all black is design feature - it mentions this in one of the reviews. I like the idea of e-books especially as technical references (I've got loads of programming and design books for work) but these are either PDFs or in Windows help format - I've even used...

    E Book Reader

    Read an article about Sony/Waterstones e-book reader. Seemed very nice though a bit pricey but SWMBO seemed quite keen so I'm thinking about a chrimbo present. For a lot of books it seems a good way to go, only buying the physical copy for books you really value. But what really gets my goat...

    Ruby programming anyone?

    As a programmer (not a software engineer) I've found Java fairly easy to learn coming from a old VB background. The resources for learning Java are quite freely available with two good free development enviroments available, Eclipse and Netbeans. I would be hesitant recommending VB.Net as MS's...

    The display thing varies from store to store. The one I got was on display and there were no issues, they even found the box for it. Have you tried the Triton web-site for parts. If you register theres a PDF listing all the parts with part number for the router. Looking at your pics you...

    Another drafty garage door

    While picking up the last router from B&Q, I had a nose around to see what they had and they've got garage door insulating kits in. The kit included a foil based insulation roll and a draft excluder that goes along the bottom of the door for £40. Back to the main topic, I've had another look...

    B&Q Triton Router UPDATE

    Just picked up the last boxed router from the Nursling branch in Southampton. They've got one left which is not boxed they've said if anybody is interested. The powertool bloke I spoke to said they had some more Triton stuff coming in, in the next week or so. On a side note if they've also...

    TOOL CHEST DESIGN

    I'm halfway through building my tool cabinet and I'm going for something similar to the example on the Taunton site. Though its on quite a bit smaller scale. If you google for H.O. Studley Tool Chest, can't post a link as I've only post a couple of times. You'll see a good example similar to...

    Another drafty garage door

    Hi, After leaving woodworking to sell my soul and move into IT, I’ve got back into it and have starting converting my garage. The problem is it’s a bit drafty. I’ve managed to insulate the garage door (workshop door as I keep telling SWMBO) but I’m struggling to draft proof it. It’s a...
