Oh, I dunno. Wood burns pretty well, or so I'm told :P Gary (in silly mood today :roll: )

EIGHT QUID????? <picks self up off floor> And I begrudge paying £2.50 for a bottle of Stella :shock: Oh well, you'll have to drink Absolut then!!! Have fun, Steve. Gary

Rich/kityuser. When I mounted my cheapo router in a home-made table, the base had a black plastic plate on the bottom. ( I thinkiit's to lessen the friction, or something :? ). This was handy as it unscrewed and i used this as a template to drill the holes in the table surface. Longer screws...

Nice tenoning jig, Tony. Simple and effective. As an aside, what is the P/Pro router table like? Any good? Oh and how much? Ta muchly Gary

Wahey!! 500 posts Tony! :D Well done and a worthwhile post too! :wink: No jig idea for me yet. :oops: Ta muchly Gary

Noely Thanks for the book tips. Im sure LB's book would be more helpful to a beginner such as myself, too. Especially if it has pictures! :oops: Hmmm, a 315 club, eh?? Aragorn Thats one of the first things I noticed too when I tried to use it. Similar problem with the mitre guide...

ROTFL Steve!!! Great idea!! I'd watch it! I'm sure we could incorporate boiling oil and tar+feathering for minor offences :twisted: Ta muchly Gary

After soooo long waiting and reading so many persuasive posts regarding the bandsaw being 'the most useful piece of 'shop equipment', I finally laid my hands on one. :D I was planning to wait a couple of months and order a Record or SIP model but, as usual, one presented itself sooner. Not a...

ROTFLMAO :D :D Mdot and Alf!! :D :D Forget football, cricket rugby, F1, or any other sport for that matter. I'd much rather logon here and read the posts you guys come up with. Far more entertaining!!! Gets my vote every time! 8) Ta muchly Gary who is a general sports fan, BTW, but does...

ROTFL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Agreed!!!! Gary

1/2 foot square???? Where the hell did you find that? In a drawer? :D (I only ask so that I know where to look myself! :oops:) Ta muchly Gary

Aaaaw, gutted!! :cry: Yeah, let's see it please Alf so that we know, beforehand, what the view is like from the bottom of the slope looking up!!! :D Ta muchly Gary

Thanks for that Martin. I was wondering what the 40% wastage meant when I browsed their site. Having never ordered (or used :oops: ) hardwoods before, but wanting to in future, it is nice to know what to expect when I do. BTW what are you making, and how much (quantity) did you order? Ta muchly...

Oh Lord, Waka. That must be painful. Off again so soon and with all those lovely toys <ahem> in the 'shop :( Surely you could slip a small one into your bag for testing on the exotic timbers you may stumble across :wink: :D Ta muchly Gary

I'm sure you could fashion some rudimentary neck-brace device in your 'shop. After all we are all eagerly awaiting more reviews!! :wink: Please don't disappoint us... :( Congrats Alf, you're reaching celebrity status! Pretty soon others will want to interview you. (Andy/Pete we would all love...

Still with us then, Adam. Good to see :wink: How's the back problem? Sounds like the same as I did to mine. Rest, painkillers, rest, physio, more rest, and no beer !! :cry: :cry: :cry: Plenty of sympathy from me. Gary

Come on, K/U. Lets have some pics! 8) :D Can't help with finish, though. Fellow NOOB to hardwoods myself, see :oops: Everything I make usually gets lashings of stain and wax (PINE :D ) but I don't know how this translates to hardwood. Ta muchly Gary

Ah, sadly my GW collection does'nt go back that far. I'm a relative 'Noob' as far as mags are concerned :oops: Thanks, Alf Gary

Speaking from experience, Frank?? :roll: :D Gary (experienced this myself,BTW!! :D )

Steve Which Basato? The 3, the 5? Reason I ask is I was after a Basato 3 a little while ago, but heard some unfavourable things about them. I don't recall details off-hand, but I'd quite like to hear about it. Regardless of the model!! :) (Some handy tips may be useful, too...) Ooo could that...
