Well, that was a thread worth watching! Nice one Wallace :D What do you do with them when you restore them? Are they on display, do you sell them?

I've just checked where you are :D I see what you mean

If only that was a joke :|

You need to do what I did. Take the riving knife out and merrily cut down lengths of timber, walnut in my case but I don't think that makes a big difference. Then as a length of timber kicks back, hits the end of your finger opening it up like the petals of a bleeding red tulip and ripping...

You could always book an appointment at the Apple Store with a "Genius".

And squirrels where we are!

I always wanted to be a carpenter when I left school, but had to stay on to do A-levels as they were then. When I eventually left I drifted into IT and made a decent career from it. But, I never gave up on woodwork and oh boy did it pay dividends, not just in the money that it saved me for our...

Would a set of ear defenders be the safest and cheapest way?

Yes, I have something similar but it's the Record Power RSDE2 on a Record Power BS350 bandsaw. It works just fine. I've not really noticed it as noisy, but then I've not compared it to anything else.

Have we met?

As long as it picks up it’s own poo .....

The last time I had a tree taken down I got a discount from the tree fellers for NOT having to take it away. At the time they could only sell on 1 cubic metre of any tree they felled, the rest they had to pay for to be dumped.

I used to build model radio control planes years ago and a pal gave me 2 tickets to a model plane show. On arrival it immediately became clear that the "model planes" were in fact self build proper person carrying jobs! I think I had lockjaw at the end of the show :shock: Astonishing stuff...

How strange, that's never happened to me.

It's not bad is it. Mind you, at that rate he'd have been VAT registered, a 40% tax payer and if employed by his own limited company he might have actually taken home £267 of that. Then there is the matter of professional fees for his accountant, his certification fees and the cost of his van...

Well, I suggested that he rewire it. Apparently that was a problem because of the positioning of the RSJ that had been installed where the wall had been taken down. When I asked him where he thought the RSJ should have been placed, he got a bit lost. OK, I then suggested that he replace the 50w...
