I have to respectfully disagree. I have an evolution mitre saw, and an evolution circular saw, they aren't aweful for the money, but IMO they aren't that great, I don't find the mitre saw accurate enough for anything more than rough work. The normal advice is to buy a better blade on any budget...

I know you've mentioned and discounted a circular saw, however for the use you've mentioned that seems to be the tool for the job to me, you can get a brushless 18v dewalt for well under £200, another £50 for a good blade, which will work with your batteries, mobile, minimal setup time...

will the next one have traditional grain?

thought I'd give this a look, very dissapointed at the first episode, seems to want to be instructional for beginners, but gives maybe half the information you'd need to take on any given task, just enough info to be dangerous. https://www.channel4.com/programmes/tool-club On the plus side I...

as per adam w's thinking, you are putting the weak point at the ankle, which would want to act like a hinge. The grain across the handle (standard design) looks marginally thicker, but even if it were not, you apply even pressure throughout the length of the handle so it can stand to be weaker...

wherever the lorry puts it I imagine

I like the paulk bench (on paper, never seen one), gives a nice all round shelf / working space, there does seem to be quite a lot of space between supports compared to some torsion box style benches

I have the 6 piece of that set and paid £12 a while ago from ITS, so I think its a price you'll see again commonly enough. BTW does anyone know is there a distinct difference between the green and the black trend bits? I assumed that the green were a proffessional quality, but you can also buy...

surely that would weaken the clamp?

yandles are open till 4 on Sundays I went past there on tuesday and there are roadworks / closures everywhere, you may need to come up through Bower Hinton from the a303

might be worth reinforcing the overhang for longevity

comparing the pictures there are a bunch of subtle differences, and Positec own Worx but not Gtech, so I don't think it is the same product rebadged.

I don't think you need to spend that sort of money for a multitool from essentially a hoover maker, I'm sure it will do the job just fine but for that money as a bare unit you could get the newer three speed brushless dewalt which would possibly keep it's money better, or any number of corded...

all depends what you are hanging surely?

would burnt wood not be an offputting smell for sensitive noses (cats)? maybe it would air off fairly quickly

simple to diagnose maybe, but possibly quite a fiddle to fix, assuming it was on a retracting reel??

I have to say, purely because it is so easy to do, I would have checked all the fuses for continuety and replaced anything that needed it, 5 minutes and a few pence, before I did anything else. I think I just have the attitude to eliminate all the problems that are easy and cheap to fix, even if...

I'd assume most of the bushcraft activities assume that wood to be essentially disposable. I know larch is a fair choice for outdoor use, as it's quite resistant to rot, that said, you would probably be better off seasoning it for a while, others may disagree but I'd assume the most significant...

sorry, what's a lightening slot?

I quite fancy a lazer level but have never had a regular need for one. Sounds a stupid question maybe, but how do you set one up, to you just put it somewhere stable and it self levels or do you level it manually and it projects a line based on that setup? Also how do you calibrate / check for...
