I agree with the votes for the 712 - mine is a real workhorse and i couldn't manage without it. Dust extraction is a problem, but I don't know of many mitre saws that have got around this issue.

Thanks - and love the workbench beejay. Might copy your design for my new one if you don't mind.

I'm looking for a small fine dust extractor for my dewalt 712 mitre saw. I've got an Axminster 2200 extractor for the tablsaw, p/t etc, but I could do with a not too expensive small just for the Dewalt. Any recommendations for a not too pricey one?

Thanks, I'll take a look.

You should be very proud - lovely job.

Fantastic pieces. I'm thinking of starting truning this year but I know my 'learning' pieces would look nothing like those. Well done.

Missed this one - D'oh! Was looking at getting a lathe and starting turning in the new year. Might have to wait until the new workshop is built now cos kit is getting damp in the old one.

End of gloating with that link methinks ! Seriously, lovely piece of kit and still a good price.

I definitely support a for sale/wanted section. I for one would use it quite a bit.

Thanks, carlsberg. I make mine just over 196 cubic metres so I think I'll be in the planning area if it's the same here.

I've amended my plans - now going for 43 feet x 17 feet although I would like it wider if I can get away with it but I'm trying to keep it in line with an exisiting guest annexe in the garden. I'm thinking about a solid timber structure now, like a log cabin. Just researching websites now.

I've decided against straw but thanks for the advice anyway. Inspector, I'm going out this morning to measure up - I'm lucky in that I have the space to make it a lot bigger - it depends on Mrs H and how much she'll let me get away with.

Thanks. Doesn't look as though I would require it for a wooden structure - brick built might be different so i'll give them a call. I've been looking at the WIP photos for workshop projects and I'm very jealous - I wish it was done and built and I could get on using it rather than still being...

Not sure about planning at the moment. I need to research that. I hope I don't need it but I need to read the regs.

Hmm, even more of a fire hazard than wood I would have thought..... luckily we have no neighbours so sound is not an issue.

Mrs H has finally agreed that the double garage I am using can be decommissioned and I can have a new workshop since I have started producing useful things like oak furniture. I am looking at a structure about 25ft long and 15ft wide (flexible as there is space). I am trying to decide...

Thanks everyone - I'll give it a go.

How is this done - ebay link because I have been asked by Mrs H to make a sign or the cottage but I'm not sure if this is a router job or engraving - any ideas how I would do this?

Looks like I'll save them for when I get a stove from Hotspot.com for the workshop. Pity because the sawdust logs that the previous owners left burn a treat. So much so in fact that I didn't realise that the woodburner heats our water aswell (aswell as the oil fired central heating system)...

We've just had the chimney swept for our wood burning stove in our cottage and I'm using it for the first time since we moved in (bit chilly out on the Fens today). Having dug through the wood store left by the previous owners, I found a few sack of what look like logs pr large pellets made...
