Me too, found it to very accurate, mind you I only use the 90 deg bit the other stuff just hangs round in a drawer of my tool cabinet

yep, yep makes sense What type of nails would be best, the ones with the smallest head I guess, hmm wonder what they are called in Italy - our local hardware store here has everything out back so you need to ask for everything at the counter, mind you they are getting used to me popping in with...

Now we are all getting very excited about the parquet here, so much so we want to do both sculleries with it, hey I can do that it looks pretty easy to me I said. ( 2 rooms about 2m x 1m each - so not a to lot do) Now a question, the parquet (solid oak herringbone, with a wenge black strip on...

Thanks for the replies, I've been reading up and googling on this, it seems our herringbone parquet is top nailed then the nails driven deep and then filled, they are very fine nails and hence these days done with a nail gun - what they used to use I do not know????? I have found a nice parquet...

Once a year my grandfather told me - in the spring was his recommendation, but I've read of many expert woodworkers who do it at very different times of the year. I did mine a few months ago and it takes just a few minutes (10 maybe) It's 5 years old now and after the first year when it seemed...

I'm saying nothing :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

Thanks for the advice, did not bring my camera this trip, but as we are moving here in August, will be able to take plenty then. Ciao

I have just sanded down the kitchen parquet floor in the house in Italy as it was extremely dirty, and was very surprised when not only the central star motif came out wonderfully but a border of flower chains came too - just staggering. :lol: :lol: Now I have sanded a little too far in a few...

Oh well just a thought :(

On my Siemens oven it looks like it's screwed in from inside the oven, but after struggling for 30 minutes I called Siemens they told me to slide the whole oven out of it's cupbaod (built in one) and you can access the bulb from the top! ?

I use the Sheppach one and after quite a few training session my Hans Koot my guru, I agree they are quite safe and easy to use. The seat frames and the legs on my lovechairs wered one using the shaper (and a little on the router table). My favourite thing to do is tdeep template work (seats on...

Ha Ha what a very Freudian typo by me!! :lol:

I always go for Freud,

Can't quite find it now , seems an overkill when I saw it but you never know. I've seen a chippy record all notes to a mobile phone and then play them back later at the saw bench. But I too have stuck some plastic to the back that pencils can write on (maybe formica)

I have one of these and like all Festool stuff it's really top drawer, the balance in the hand is unbelievable and you can work wth it for much much longer (well this skinny guy can anyway) than my old DW or Makita. The accesories are also suberb, but I am a Festool fanatic, I save and save (and...

I just put one on upside down in my set up - suprising how quickly I have adapted to using it that way - no problems at all A mate of mine here takes the free cardboard tape measures you get in the DIY stores here, covers them in sellotape (wide enough to put both edges at the back - so no...

I have the 8mm groover Its a smaller (150mm?) disk, but very handy, also very handy if you are using it with a guarded tenoning jig. :)

Tony I would not be without my RAT, love ity to death mainly for DTs tenons sliding dovetails etc :lol:

Tony - you must be right, we apply this technique and a few other very fancy ones :wink: on motors larger than your house.

As a senior engineer working for a very large oil company with PhD in physics I feel a lesson comming on. :roll: We do this with our large motors/compressors when they run in steady state, we actually reduce the power to them by removing some of the sine wave of the AC (three phase or single...
