    My heart is broken

    That is awfully sad - sorry for your loss. We have pictures of one of ours from the Artful Dog too - hopefully yours will bring back good memories in time.

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I made a new sign for the dog watering station at the front of the house; we've been here a year and a half so the old "under new management" one wasn't really appropriate any more. I think it's bubinga, CNC carved, painted gold, sanded back, polyacrylic brushed over everything. On two keyhole...

    Feeling very violated today

    That depends on the age of the person replying. Usually it happened around when they turned 40.;)

    8 x 4 CNC router buying advise

    These three words definitely suggest getting something off-the-shelf with good support.

    Feeling very violated today

    With strobe. A bright LED strobe is very disorienting and gives you time to get away.

    Double sided tape

    I use golf grip tape. Comes off easily leaving no residue.

    I believe it's called man-maths.

    I made a loom bench for my wife from three planks of raw sawn ash. Polyacrylic finish. Height adjustable in 2cm lumps via some M8 bolts in steel tube. Design is a rip-off of a commercial one, but that was £375 and this cost me £350 including buying a new sander (for £290 including a load of...

    Black & Decker Workmate - Do you?

    I have a Wolf raft one, because I preferred the colours. It's been really handy despite having a big workbench and a Caterpillar.

    Lie Nielsen tools

    Last Tuesday Axminster Basingstoke had a couple of LN bits on clearance - maybe 5-10% off. I was sorely tempted by the shoulder plane. There were a couple of chisels and one other plane too.

    Axminster xcaliber router bits

    I like the Axminster bits I've got. I think I like my Wealden bits even more, but the Axis are perfectly good.

    Travelling to the US - what would you buy

    A Bridge City block plane. Over there they're only ludicrously expensive.

    Needing a new ~TV, 65"

    It's easy to get stuck in the comparisons, but remember that you'll only have one telly in your living room so you'll never see that the one you bought has slightly better motion handling, while the one you didn't has marginally more detail in dark scenes. I used to run a lot of shootouts at...

    Needing a new ~TV, 65"

    I thought Mitsubishi gave up on projection 9 years ago. At 65-inch there's no compelling argument in favour of projection. Flat panel will give better resolution, contrast, colour accuracy and lifespan at that price point. Sony, LG, and Samsung are all good.

    Scrabble tabble

    That is proper astounding. Lovely work.

    Best Band Saw Blades

    I mostly used Axminster and they were fine. I bought a Tuffsaws one some years ago and it was do good that now it's time to replace a few I've ordered a load from Tuffsaws. Really good products and brilliantly helpful.

    Shed roof

    I used that when the storms a year or two ago took the felt off my shed - I'd use it again if I was doing similar.

    Cleaning Domestic Oven

    Bandsaw blades?

    I would ask them. They're very helpful and won't steer you wrong. It's about time I did another order from them.
