Often been said I should wear a mask more often but that has bugger all to do with personal safety in the workshop. No, not yew, it was me and apparently I'm even more toxic!

Orbital. TBH it's just another ache to the collection and I'm as 'fine' as I was before the incident. Thanks all the same.

Waking up with aches and pains is nothing new however this morning my chest was feeling particularly tender. Of all the tools in a workshop capable of inflicting an injury I have to say a sander wasn't top of my risk list. Yesterday, mine flew upwards, out of my grip and slammed into my chest...

I do, was the last time we Scots won anything!

Yes. I'm down to the Bessey ratchet clamps now having sold the Festool ones. I've used them to secure stop blocks, sacrificial fences, featherboards and the like. I've incorporated them in MFT type benches to hold workpieces tight to the side, on a mitre station and now in the apron of my latest...

Digital cameras have a short shelf life; SLR's are tyically superceded every 18 months and compact cameras even sooner. Any camera, whether it's an SLR, compact or bridge, film or digital, is really only there as a box to hold the respective medium. The box might well have some knobs and dials...

I made something similar by drilling a hole in some aluminium tube and using some threaded rod, bought obtained from my local B&Q

I already have one of these that hardly ever gets used (my cast top turned out to be aluminium not iron!) and recently received this one which is still unopened and unused. £50 collected from lovely Linconshire or posted at buyer's cost.

Be aware that Axi's 'Universal' t-track isn't exactly universal. I bought some recently and lovely as they look they wouldn't accept any of my Festool or Bessey clamps that work perfectly with existing Incra, Rockler, Dakota and some of unknown origin. And I don't say that as someone who might...

One is shop-vac, dedicated to the mitre saw. I upgraded the saw recently to a Dewalt and bought their dedicated 3-point extraction kit which connects directly to the shop vac. It's a marked improvement over the last saw, even better when I remember to switch on the vac but there's still a fair...

Couldn't you temporarily tape over the slot?

I have three extractors in a singl garage workshop and still seem to get an inordinate amount of dust! I liked this idea by Timothy Wilmotts

Steady, the PC brigade might think you're calling the Irish thick!

Not wishing to sound pedantic but having google come back with flight times and a link to an Irish newspaper I was wondering if that was meant to say Cork tiles?

Suede, Cork, or something else and best source for whichever please

I'm in Lincoln. I don't have the knowledge, skills or ability of others on here however I do have a small garage workshop if you wanted some ideas and a plethora of "what not to do" tales to help you avoid some of the costly and/or stupid mistakes I've made!

It was a query similar to yours that first brought me here some years ago but by that time I'd already wasted a good 30% of your budget on a tabe that wasn't really up to the task. And I'd bought a Triton router because it had a fancy handle that allowed adjustment from above the table; can't...

Still a few hundred left

Excellent, thanks for letting me know.
