Hi David I had two, I sold its younger brother that was in more worn condition, it came out of a wood shop where they put an over sized blade on it. It was still serviceable and a friend in London had need of one but wasn't too fussed about precision. I've made a "Mr Sawdust" table for yours...

thanks guys :) maybe I will try and convert it, I shall have a word with the tree surgeon.

I'm getting a large silver birch chopped down in the next couple of weeks, its a bit too close to the house. The trunk is big for a silver birch, probably 18" diameter, probably because it has no competition and my compost heap is nearby. Is there any point in trying to turn it into timber or...

I'm just in the middle of buying a meddings scroll saw, a mate of mine is picking it up on Thursday - I hope it fits in the back of his Skoda Fabia.... He may have to dismantle some bits. If I like it I shall make some pinless clamps of some description after looking at other makes to combine...

I'm a child of the 60's so use both imperial and metric, but buy imperial when I have to, I have old machinery so buy imperial spanners but if I buy new stuff only get metric. Just off to the sweet shop to buy 100 grammes of Mint Metrics.....

I too was thinking of looking through back copies of Health and Efficiency until I read the title again :D I think the answer could be bird poo

Metabo for me too. Mirka if I was flush with cash or the amount of work I did warranted it.

I've just had two trunks planked, some oak and some douglas fir. I put the douglas fir in the workshop, stickered up, had to move it as not sufficient ventilation and it started to go furry, especially on the paler new wood with higher moisture content. I put the oak in the barn with plenty of...

Here's my "new" RAS that I bought off a forum member, it came with a nice table however I had already started making a "Mr Sawdust" table so I'm trying that first. Basically its two pieces of MDF with some steel bars epoxied into grooves routed in the MDF. The bars and not equidistant, they...

Now it gets really messy, this is the back bit where I store stuff and I'm renovating a 1963 Fordson super dexta. The drum kit is going to be moved out and the piles of PCS and cabling gone plus all the long stock will be sorted and moved. The engine won't be on the stand much longer and the...

I'm getting around to that bit, just creating a bit of tension first :D I'm currently on a mini-break with the family so away from the workshop. Went to the national space centre yesterday, very good, kids loved it. I wanted to go to the pumping station next door but we run out of time. There...

Thanks Paul :D Yes it would be easy wouldn't it :wink: The problem with CCTV is that they lead to very few convictions but they do have a deterrent and alarm value. I have motion detection set up, not on the camera as that is pants, but on the server and that can distinguish between a tree...

I found a few more pics of the barn/workshop build in progress. Here's the first two 5m sections being built. In this shot you can seen how much the land falls away by the amount the foundation of the next two pillars become get higher. The foundations go well down and are twice as wide as...
