Congratulations Neil. Hope everything goe smoothly for you both (all!) 8) If you're lucky you'll have a "better half" like mine. She buys all my tools!!!! :D :D :D All the very best Gary

Sorry, that last post was me. FTLI :oops: Gary

HI SMD I use pine a fair bit and I usually go for a combination of a woodstain of some description to give it the base colour I want, and then a finishing wax to complete. Okay, it's not going to withstand the rugrats 'biro-ing' all over it, but it depends on the application. In your case it...

Looking out for it already! I could do with a replacement for my cheapo Clarke 10" that wont break the bank (or my eardrums as is the case ATM!!!). I'm assuming is has an induction motor that is reasonably quiet :oops: or is this a silly question? Ta muchly Gary

Gawsh, it's amazing what a response a post containing the words 'free' will achieve!!! :shock: :D Seriosly though, thanks guys. Adam. Don't want to go to too much trouble, as the house doesn't belong to us. (private rental, see :cry: ). Also we dont have floorboards, as the houses are only...

Wow, thanks Roy. This is something I've got to put some more thought into, obviously.With my skills as an electrician I would have a great career as a window cleaner, so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys Gary ( off to do lots of heavy research!!!) :oops:

Nope, not any more NN! Thanks for the preview. More dissappointment on the tests, then. I think I'll just stick to buying advice from you guys here at UKW and buy the mag for general reading. It's about time they sorted this out, don't you think? Ta muchly Gary

Yeah, I see Adam. Definite re-evaluation needed. Can you get these in higher amps though? If not, whats the best way to go? I can't really have a dedicated supply from the fuse box as it's on the other side of the house. Anyway it's old and would need replacing before I could run anything else...

Man, that is a tragedy. For a proud man, as he obviously was to make his own furniture, to have his life's work dismissed as rubbish and junk is not only sad, but a crime against the cabinetmakers/furniture makers/craftsmans profession. And an insult to the man personally, IMHO. Sorry if thats...

Adam. I do plan to RCD the whole thing using one of these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=66462&id=14770 from inside the house, with armoured cable from the house to W/S. Then I was given 3 of these http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?ts=66562&id=13149 by one of the...

Hmmm, might have to re-evaluate the situation. I think you have a point, there. Better to have too many than too few. Tsk, Tsk...out comes the drawing board again..Ho-Hum. :roll: Gary (with pencil in hand)

Blimey!! Not to my taste either but damn fine work all the same. Daresay no power tools either. Maybe we rely on our 'necessities' too much these days. (Maybe Alf's got a point!!) :wink: Ta muchly Gary

Adam :shock: 28!!!!!! :shock: I'm only planning 3 doubles :oops: Then again, they are RCD's. Too far away for me mate. Thanks for the general offer, though. :wink: Ta muchly Gary

Yeah, sorry. Bit of an 18-wheeler that one... :oops: Gary

:shock: :shock: :shock: The DrilTru model looks alarmingly similar to my Popular model. Very similar spec too. Different colour and no guard on mine.Didn't realise how pricey, though! <gulp> Sorry to recommend these without knowing, Digizz. :oops: Ta muchly Gary (a little embarrassed)

Alf I have noticed, yes. The Webrax will be 'pryed from your cold, dead hands' then, eh?? :D TA muchly Gary

Hmm... what puzzles me is why on earth were you looking at Chenille Sensations Tassles??!!?? :shock: Or am I the only one who doesn't have this site bookmarked? :? Ta muchly Gary

Or XMP Rust Spray? http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=272115 Not bad for 7 quid. Gary

Whoa, praise indeed from the Webrax Appreciation Society Founder Member!! :D Does this mean we must all rush out and buy one, now? (I could do with an ROS anyway, but cash flowing the wrong way, ATM :( ). Gary only kidding Alf!

<chuckle> Yes, and one for about £300-£350, probably, as it says "We test new bandsaws for SIP (which I'm looking out for - £289 if it's the 14" version), Charnwood, Record Power and Meber". So likely to be just the four, then. As you say, the PC mags will pick a price band, say upto 700 quid...
