I can't wait till the chemist opens and I get my supply of pills

I'm fed up looking for words of praise for your work. Your work is simply too good. It is obvious that you have done more than just cut out pieces of wood, your work reflects the observation/knowledge you have of your subjects and also shows your understanding of the nuances of various types of...

:occasion4: Happy Birthday Vic :occasion4: take care Don W

And a Happy New Year to all from us in Fife. Have just put the light off as I can now see to type with daylight coming through. :shock: take care Don W

All I see is a Facebook page that I don't intend to follow. Waste of time this in my opinion. Don W PS I hate Facebook and the drivel that it promotes. Certainly no fun video here.

Thanks for this Brian. The Hare looks another beauty. take care Don W

Welcome to the forum. Enjoy yourself and keep asking questions. take care Don W

You really do make the most amazing stuff. Thanks for showing Brian.

Very well done Derek. It would look nice coloured as well, I think.

I would use a ¼" spindle gouge, carefully, to rough it down. Otherwise the same as phil.p said.

Another cracking piece of work. It's a beauty. take care Don W

I got the last light that the local Argos had, thanks Brian. I may PM you soon and find out about the cyclone. We are setting up a 'Men's Shed' in Glenrothes and it could be the sort of piece of equipment that would be handy. take care Don W

Thanks Brian, Will get one after lunch. take care Don W

Thanks chaps, One of our members was going to donate one of theses machines to our Men's Shed as he said it was no longer suitable for his use as the top blade guide was twisted ? I suggested we had a look before he bought a replacement. I haven't seen the machine so I don't know what it is like...

Hi All, Has anyone any information on the above ( Wickes 10" ) bandsaw. Manuals, problems, fixes etc ? take care Don W

Aye Brian it looks a great piece of kit. I haven't had the blade out yet, I brought it in from the shed this morning and it has finally stopped with the condensation. I have had a look through the forums and found a few references to this machine (I actually spent the whole afternoon reading...

Thanks for those details, I will have a look later. The only problem I see at the moment is the tension lever. It is the same as any other lever I have met BUT it will only work in one position. As this lever sits in a slot in the casing it only works when the lever runs parallel with the arm...

Thanks Martin. I was beginning to suspect that any problems I might meet could be answered by the knowledge that abounds in this forum.

Very well done indeed. Although that may well be a bit understated.
