Good advice! :)

Thank you for this. I have sent and email and cc’d MeisterSinger. I will see how they reply before I contact the owners of the company.

I’ve been looking at the Seiko and Citizen quartz watches and will probably get one of those. I’ve done a bit of searching on Jura and customers have had mixed service from them.

Yes I bought the watch directly from Jura in the UK. I do now regret buying the watch and am definitely looking at buying a Seiko or Citizen. I bought the watch because I liked the idea of having a vague time—it did not be accurate and the watch looked good to me with a simple design. Thank you...

I bought a MeisterSinger watch over a year ago. The watch developed a fault where the date mechanism would not work—see photo. The centre date dial had disconnected from the main watch mechanism—I guess. The watch is still under warranty and so I sent it back to the reseller—Jura Watches. I sent...

Thank you for this—seems like a great buy. My small space would struggle with having this. I have been working on a solution to my problems over the last few weeks. I’ll post more about it later.

There is nothing stopping me redoing the workshop part so that I have a large mobile unit acting as a workbench and storage unit. It means spending more time and money on materials to make the workbench/storage unit. That would be an interesting challenge in my already small workspace...

And a good telling off from the wife! :) Thank you.

Thank you—you never know what you can do in a small space. You have to get creative.

Thank you.

That’s correct Derek—I was just thinking ahead. Instead of buying finished boards, I would buy rough sawn boards and do the planing and thickness of the board myself. But then what you suggest might be the way to go as well since I‘m not using large timber. Planing it flat with the planer and...

I think that‘s what I should do. My planer is battery powered but I see ScrewFix have a Makita mains powered planer for £80—seems good value to me for this kind of project. Thank you!

Hello, A Thicknesser is one tool I don’t have. There has been need of it from time to time and I keep putting it off. Recently I made—not finished yet—a holder for a pencil, sharpener and rubber. I did not check the wood for flatness as I had bought planed wood—should have checked! Anyway...

Joined a few weeks ago—I’m interested in tinkering with things and sometimes I do something with wood. I’ve got a tiny shop—quarter of a garage so I need to adapt to each job differently. I have a modest tool (toy) collection. My experience is sub hobby level and I don’t mind having a go at...
