It was that level of discipline I was thinking of that would put me off, frankly; on a set where you're responsible for the production, direction, scripting, cameras, and lighting there's enough to have to think about without having to handle a separate sound track for each of the 'talent' - and...

Is this a fun side-project/favour for the club, or a 'for money' job, 'cos you could be getting into a decent chunk of change on these recommendations - a zoom H6 & EMC77 combo will set you back the thick end of £500, and you'll need a mic for each person in shot who's audio you want to record...

I do have a Festool MFT though I don't own one of the eBay tops that I linked to, but having said that, my understanding is that the tops with slots are both for ease of carrying, and for clamping using clamps that wouldn't fit through the 20mm holes. Cheers, Pete

Yes, it's great. Unfortunately, even with the rail mounted on the short side of an MFT you won't cut more than a hair over 1100 mm; bit of brain fade from Festool there, sadly. You can buy longer aluminium profile to make a bigger MFT but it all depends how much time/effort/expense you want to...

These guys will do a full size 8x4 MFT top for ~£100 delivered. Set of bench and rail dogs an you're all set. And a saw, obviously ;) As mentioned earlier in the thread, the Festool TS55 can be had with one rail for about ~£360. The DeWalt's a bit cheaper, the Makita a bit cheaper again, but...

The table (MFT presumably) wouldn't be appropriate for the cuts you need to do, though there's no issue with accuracy - track saws are as accurate as you are. Repeat cuts can be easier with the parallel guides, or a similar home-grown version. Have a look on youtube for examples of what a...

Me neither. I think the OP is massively over-estimating the cost of a tracksaw setup, or massively under-estimating the cost of a trade-sized cabinet saw/scoring blade/sliding table/space to use it etc... FWIW Festool do a 'solid surface and laminate blade' (496 309) which is good on melamine...

Yes, installed on an iPhone and iPad yesterday; no issues so far, a few things that are 'different', a few things that are better. Be aware that you need the current iDevices to have all the new features, and some things that sync across devices (e.g. the Notes app) need any Mac that syncs to be...

PM sent.

Big fan of Junckers Strong - low odour water-based polyurethane lacquer. Satin finish has a nice sheen to it. HTH Pete

Flickr doesn't play nicely with iPad - or vice versa - as you can't copy the codes you need to post on a forum. You *can* use it to resize images, but it's a clunky way to go about it. Basically, once you've uploaded it to Flickr you download the image (download button on the bottom right) in a...

2011 - just the one series of 12 episodes, AFAIK..

I get mine from my local decorators' merchant. Worth noting perhaps, that many basic masking tapes are only intended for less than 24hrs use - after that the adhesive starts to cure and harden. 'Blue' tapes are more UV resistant, and usually come in 7/14/30 day variants, at ascending prices...

+1 He does a good podcast as well called "Making It" (www.makingitpodcast.com or through your podcast app of choice) with a couple of other woodworkers which is well worth a listen. His vids for Core77 and Make are pretty nice too.

No such comparison intended - I had a decent amount of Bosch 10.8v stuff at the time and specifically wanted the cordless version (for much the same reasons ETV outlines above) as I already had the (corded) MultiMaster; I was just surprised how quickly the cordless Bosch depleted its batteries...

Sorry, late to this thread. Had the original Fein Multimaster; great bit of kit, but the blade attachment (this was pre 'quick-in') drove me nuts after a while, being hard to tighten and shook itself loose in seconds of use. Bought the Bosch 10.8v GOP - nice tool, great blade-attachment, but...

This old thread from last year shows how I did it - bendy ply, basically. I looked at curved wall systems but it seemed too much of a faff for a quick one-off - mine was only curved on the outside, though, which may make a difference. HTH Pete

+1 for a tracksaw. FWIW I've 'worked wood' for a living for 15 years; I've had a tracksaw since year 4 (??) and after 13 years I decided I probably ought to have a table saw. It gets used for 2 specific tasks - narrow rips in 6mm MDF and cutting wedges; that's it. Better still, find a decent...

I haven't owned the CTL 26, but I have the older CTL 22 as a workshop vac and have been very pleased with it; in theory it has more suction than my Midi, but I've never noticed the difference in practice*. The CTL26 is supposed to be better again - though note that (as per the comments in the...

Nice job, very tidy.
