I think the issue is that OFL is appealing to people because they are getting solid oak furniture at a fair price. I think the issue comes when people want to sell their hand made oak furniture and people compare the prices. I guess a lot of people will be happy with OFL and if they are then is...

Surely with the other saws the cheap plastic handle is the nasty bit and this gives you a great saw but for the same price as a disposable? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What about the Bahco option with disposable blades. A blade is around £7. Handle and blade about £20 but then you keep the handle (and they do left handed) and you can choose from a selection of blades to keep to hand. I almost never use a handsaw but I might get one of these and some blades...

My speed square is this one: http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-premiu ... 0wodknADgw The counter sink and pilot combo is a good shout as well. I use them and they're great for speed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As per W2S, I'd say that Goodwillies is probably a good shout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd do the same, drill through the back plate of your spice rack and screw into the wall through those. Ideally position the screws so that the spice jars cover them. Job done and a lot more secure than keyholes. Also I think you'll struggle to get them flush if you only have 1.5mm of space and...

All this talk of pencils - I bought a mains power pencil sharpener for about £8 that's been a worthwhile investment. What are you lot using Bambo skewers for? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought I'd start a thread that might be revealing and hopefully beneficial but not costly. The rules are simple, post you best tool / gadget or gizmo (wood working related) that costs under £10 and under £30 and a few words to say why you like it so much. Under £10 Ruler stop - A small...

Yes I've watched it. Nice kit for a young guy and he's pretty switched on. However he was meant to do a new vid once a a month but not seen anything for a few months. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went down the set route which got me all the cutters and various dominos in a systainer. I think I got mine all in a deal for about £600 which is probably a very good price now. I've never regretted having a choice of dominos and use all sizes. I then just buy replacements as required. I seem...

I have the Halfords Advance ones and they are excellent. They have a lifetime guarantee (keep the receipt) but even having really swung on them they've not gone wrong. Really good kit. I don't really like Halfords but their Advance stuff is the exception to a lot of their stuff Sent from my...

Definitely getting the set and a set of dominos makes sense. As for where to go... I did see Axminster saying that they wouldn't be beaten on power tools recently. So worth checking out their price. Oh and welcome to the slippery festool slope! I started with a domino, then a track saw, now...

That's a big job if they were all made from scratch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

of all the power tools to go I think the router is likely to be the last on my list. No because I use it the most but because it's the most difficult to replace with a hand tool. Most power tools replace manual tools for speed and accuracy and whilst that is true for some of the router uses...

I have a single garage and lots of kit also. For me speed is an issue because I don't have a lot of time and I want to produce results not just enjoy my time in my workshop. To speed my process along I've filled my workshop with tools to make things quicker. I have a table saw and a band saw and...

Any company can have an issue it's how they deal with it that's important. We bought a Miele washing machine from JLP. Within a week it was making some odd sounds. Two engineers turned up, but covers on the floor to put their tool bags down etc. Sorted the issue. Have us some free washing...

Some things aren't cheap but then others are surprisingly comparable with other manufacturers, track saws being a prime example. Some things are more but are just worth it. I love my CXS and use it all the time. Who wants to have a really heavy drill driver for everything. £35 for a collet is...

Sounds like you just need to buy a new router bit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks guys, looks like sending some templates letters would be worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
