Ike, I agree with Noel, if you have an ROS sander already, don't you get a good finishing with it?? I certainly do with mine.

Neil, I remember reading the review of the ROS in GWW and the metabo and Festool are very close but the Festool was claimed a little better. Especially the dust extraction was definitely superior on the Festool. Ike, I believe the Metabo is far better value for money but I strongly think the...

Long live the true beer: GUINNESS.

Building yours is by far the most inexpensive solution. A great benefit is to have it match your size which helps greatly on the back (bet you didn't think about that :wink: ). I built mine without hardwood and for the cost it's so far doing a great job. It's really sturdy too. I would...

WOW! Stop giggling Chris, I can hear you from here. What an achievement! No doubt you are proud and rightly so.

I too have the Performance biscuit jointer. I do find the fence locking is very poor but apart from that it's working fine. I remember reading in the GWW magazine this Performance jointer had one of the best scores!! I'd love to try the Freud to see the difference for myself!

Alf, yes the price is high, but consider this: It's got a 3 year warranty and it is in my eyes the best performer on the market. I feel it's worth saving a little longer for it. I have started saving for my next Festool, this could take a while :wink: Chris, I plan to use some 220 for really...

Hi all, Here is a review of the tool I very recently acquired. Now allow me to admit it is the first orbital sander I have used, so I guess I haven't got grounds to compare, thus I will only state what I think of the features: - The power cord. Having it detachable from the tool is genius...

:shock: I didn't know, this is extraordinary! Thanks Alf.

What is the brand and model? is it Performance? Any pics?

Hi all, I got a grinder lately and I am looking for design or plans for a jig to sharpen the chisels and planers. Anyone has plans or pictures?

Tony I agree with you, I wouldn't expect to see dovetail joints for this project, however I was wondering if you did dadoes for the end of the partitions. Good job, it really looks good :D

I have the airace and think it's very good, but it does get a little in the way of my ear defenders. I have large 3M ones. Wearing the mask, the defenders and glasses It can get sore after a while!

Tony, excellent job on the cutlery tray, it looks really nice, inspiring indeed. What joints did you use? I can't see on the picture.

Does anyone have links or documents on how to fine tune the PKF 255? The manuals are good for assembling the tablesaw but now that I am well used to it, I want to really fine tune it and this is not well explained in the manuals. If someone knows of some good resources please let me know...

David Free, the great british woodshop, has made one. Go to this site to see info on it in the project section: http://www.greatbritishwoodshop.com

I got one from SIP. It's big enough for the price. I got it for €150 which would be about £100. So far I am relatively happy with it, but haven't used it a lot yet.

Dave, an impressive job :D Beautiful chairs. You could end up spending more time sitting outside than working inside the worshop, beware!! :wink:

Okay the ceiling is covered so I'll give my idea for the window wall :D You could build a sliding wall (which has windows in it). You make a partition wall out of 2x4, include your window openings and have this partition on a rail. You can slide it open when you need to move large peices in...
