Well I did not know that! Live and learn....(y)

I'd try their service phone number or email here Contact us . Once talking to a real person you stand a chance of getting transferred internally if necessary. It is pretty good, and unusual, that it is a real phone number and not a premium rate one. Craig PS Just noticed at the bottom of the...

When I built my Klausz bench, the quarter 6 foot, 4" thick sawn beech had a twist, which the thicknesser just followed. To get the twist out I made a planing cradle. Basically thick MDF screwed together into a U shape. Multiple screws through the sides into the beech planks held them true. Once...

I count myself lucky - my workshop is in the single width garage. Up and over door, and not one drop of rain gets in. Dry leaves in Autumn, and spiders, yes. And whoever built the garage put a slight fall in the concrete floor towards the door, which I'm sure is a contributory factor to lack of...

What you use depends very much on what is going to be on the shelves - in other words how rugged the finish needs to be.

If James PM's me his address, and I'll get it off to him.

I have a 2 1/2 " blade and chipbreaker that I recovered from a rubbish wooden plane. It is Marples, and the tapered blade and chipbreaker weighs half a kg. You're welcome to that for the cost of postage. Let me know if you'd like it. Craig

Those are good points.

Nah. This is financial naivety. When I was at Oxford Instruments the FD used to buy forward sterling to future proof our prices. It is a trick used by financial institutions all the time - it is the reason your pension fund (if you have one) beats bank rates by a healthy margin.

I bought the previous version of this PT. Physically identical other than the colour. I bought it when they were doing an offer - about £800 including a dust extractor like this Axminster Craft AC153E Dust Extractor .

Anything with MDF has three problems. It is not ecofriendly to produce (urea formadehide resin to bond the wood fibres). It is dangerous stuff to work with and needs excellent dust handling and a face mask (my cousin died from dust inhalation; he was a set builder at Pinewood). And if wet will...

I just had a response from Ray Isles regarding surface grinding of a #7 sole. £22.50 plus VAT, and shipping each way. So I reckon £33 all told. They'll do the sides too for another £7.50 plus VAT That I would suggest is a bargain, given that the last #7 I did by hand took me several hours. It...

That was a bolted on bargain - if one of the motors on my various woodwork machines goes kaput, they look like the place to go! Thanks for letting us know!

That's correct - the CRB does not have wheels.

https://trenddirectuk.com/trend-crb-combination-router-base.html There are all sorts of ways of using this wonder-gizmo. With the correct radius router cutter you can even curve the edge. To deal with the small hole in the centre you need for the router base, you could drill a large hole, and...

It's called the Trend Combination Router Base. Current Trend product. In the range £75 - £80 just doing a google search. I have one I bought maybe 8 years ago to make large holes for mounting loudspeakers.

An alternative is the Axminster Axminster Craft AC318BT Benchtop Thicknesser . Scratch that - it is just a thicknesser

Look like B&Q have discontinued it. But Screwfix have the Titan TTB579PLN (S/Fix 15774) for £159:99 . Lots of positive reviews.
