Not at all, but it sometimes can take a little while for to respond! Most irritating part is that most questions - not yours re bench height - are actually answered in the video, if only folks would take the time to watch & listen. 🤷‍♂️ Sounds like a plan! Yes, my benches are a bit lower than...

Yes, MRMDF is a much better quality board all around, for not much more money. I coated my MFT top with a hard wax oil, decided Indisnt like the colour so I stained it, and waxed it again - worked pretty well. Other MRMDF benchtops are coated just with a water-based satin finish flooring...

Yes, it’s all based on the same v-groove extrusion. 👍👍

Axminster sell them as a spare part, about £40 I think. Never used one, but I’d assume the shaft thickness is proprietary to fit the jig.

Always tricky making these decisions based on our own (limited?) experiences. As @DBT85 says, (and thanks for tagging me in - not getting notifications for some reason🤷‍♂️) like many people I made my living with MRMDF for decades without incident; I‘ve happily made my own bathroom cupboards and...

There’s a much more recent video about them and the updated fence system here btw.

My apologies if I haven’t responded - did you raise the question here or on YouTube, out of interest? I’m getting around ~300 comments and question per day via all platforms right now, and while I do my best to reply where I can some inevitably slip through, and if it was on an older video or in...

Just FYI ToolFest is a very long-established online ‘arm’ of fixings retailer ‘bunny’s bolts’ - Bunny's Bolts - Fixings, Fastenings and Tools - Home page - out in Woking, and yes, the guys name is Warren... 🤷‍♂️

Persevere. I ’worked wood’ for a living for 14 years before buying a small table saw; it was handy for very narrow rips and cutting wedges, otherwise it didn’t seen much use. Bought a bigger one a couple of months ago for a specific task - haven’t used it yet 🤷‍♂️ As to working smarter, longer...

It’s coming; next few weeks and it should be all done. 👍

Yes, the Benchdogs Rail Square has been Evo-compatible for a little while; thanks for the reminder, I should amend the video description to that effect. 👍

Sorry, late to the thread, and thanks for the shout @sammy.se @DBT85 and @jvc26. All my tracksaw vids are in a playlist here:- http://bit.ly/TracksawWorkshop - if anyone’s interested. I did some blade comparisons here and wasn’t overly impressed with the Trend. As others have said a 24t blade is...

Sorry, late to this thread. I’m a rail square convert, having been a bit dismissive of them after my early experiences with a basic DeWalt version (now sold as the Triton). I’m trying to get all the squares together for a ‘rail square roundup’ vid, as the choice and differences between them is a...

Thanks, good to hear it helped. And thanks @Hammer Time for the link to the SauterShop jig - hadn’t seen that one; I’m doing a few bits and pieces with SauterShop soon, I’ll see if I can get my hands on one 👍👍 And yes, it looks like you need a bush/copy ring for your router - there’s a link in...

Morning. I’ve done a few videos on entry level bandsaws, including the Titan, which I still own. The Titan took more setting up than the others, but works well. You might be interested in the ‘bandsaw makeover’ videos where I changed the fence and blade. A better blade will make a big difference...

I have the LR32. I bought the kit but you don’t need it all - I only use it for shelf-pin holes, so just use the ‘holey rail’ and router baseplate. I had a pal turn me a pair of 32mm ally discs tapped in the centre for M8 (??) to fit through the rail holes. I use these to bear against the base...

Yes, a lot of the cordless circular saws do seem to have the blade to the left of the motor; some people like this as it’s easier to see the cut-line, but it always seems to be the wrong way round to me too. I had a little Skil cordless for review and it was that way round too. If you want to...

Sorry, late to this thread. The PM readings are for dust (Particulate Matter) not formaldehyde. PM2.5 and PM10 (2.5 and 10 microns) are relatively large - the dust particles you need to worry about especially are those at <0.3 micron. Those handheld meters aren’t the most accurate either, but as...

Yes, MRMDF always; it’s a much better quality board for not much more money, and takes paint much better, and with less effort than regular MDF. I’m not a fan of pocket-holes generally - I think I’ve probably used 20 in 20 years - but they worked fine in MDF. Personally I wouldn't go near...

Lots of solid advice here already; the question’s been asked but no answer forthcoming, but it’s an important one - “custom furniture making” covers a huge range of activities; many here seem to be assuming ‘fine furninure’ but it could equally apply to fitted wardrobes and alcove units; what’s...
