The Make 2017 free version does still work for me but is getting more buggy I have noticed and more so since I have updated onto a new laptop (windows). Will just tend to crash and delete what you have been working on. Guess I am thinking I need something more reliable and assume at some point...

Was wondering if anyone here subscribes to sketchup shop. As far as I can tell it is a web based system but wondered how good it was. As much as the Pro version looks good I am not sure I can justify the £235/yr subscription. Only really work part time now and so this is a big spend for a dozen...

Hi All A friend of mine has a small Olive tree orchard. Three of his trees died and has given them to me. These are not large trees (biggest one is about 100mm at the trunk) but big enough to turn a few bits out and hard to turn down such a novel wood (not many olive orchards in UK). Anyway...

Only got a couple of photos and needs a lampshade (of shops ever open again!) but thought would chip in so to speak. This was one of those side distractions that probably took far to long but became quite enjoyable and therapeutic to do. Will leave you all to spot the woods used.

Harry SL Hardwoods should sell it. They are based in Corydon which isn't to far from you. Not sure they are the cheapest but fairly close and will deliver from memory. Kev

Hi Alan Have PM'd (conversationed!) you Kev

Hi George have emailed you details. Kev

Don't tell me that :LOL:

Hi John thought it may be easier if I just ass the spec from the manual. Hope this answers everything.

Hi John will have a look in the morning and get back to you. I am in a village called Brookland on the Romney Marshes which is between Ashford and Rye. Kev

I am selling a few machines that have just sat in my workshop gathering dust since I bought new machinery last year. Have put a brief description but if you have any questions please PM me and will do my best to answer. Kity 1619 Table Saw (240V)-SOLD Bought this new about 15 yrs ago. Is in...

Thanks Cornersuns, really helpful.

Just on that what tape do you use - any recommendations?

Thanks all, will check out Petes YouTube channel. Hadn't even crossed my mind to move them over a bit and re-cut (can't see the wood for the trees etc!) will try that, just ened to order some double sided tape. Interesting idea the ply, my only reservation would be the thickness. The edge...

Hi All, I need to replace the edge strips on my Dewalt plunge saw and wondered if anyone had any experience of this. What I am wondering is whether the Makita replacement strips or other alternative would work on a Dewalt track. I can not think of a reason why not but wondered if I had missed...

It was a few years ago but in our old house I built a large decking with stairs down to the garden and used Balau for that (think its actually Yellow Balau). Found this to be great against the weather, not sure how it matches up against Iroko in terms of cost but would have thought it would be...

Thanks all, Sounds like it is okay to keep the pump running until the glue takes. Also, was not aware of layflat polythene. This seems like a great idea for vacuum pressing (comes in widths up to 1200mm) assuming it is strong enough to hold a vacuum. Kev

Was wondering if anyone has one or has used one of these - bagpress Bought one of these a few years ago but for one reason or another never really got used. Now have a use for it. When you place items in the bag and turn it on the only way you can keep the vacuum pressure is to keep the pump...

Tom Thanks for the offer but posted them in the end. It will be interesting to see if its worth it (price depends on condition and any repairs needed) as by the time you factor in postage not sure where there will be much difference between sharpening and a new blade!

Thanks for the replies guys, been away so only picked them up. Good idea about the timber yard, will ask. Will also look up the posting option, was just a bit concerned about the cost of sending them there and back but may have to go with that. thanks again.
