I am in the same boat, I didn't vote because I haven't used any of them, but if I was given free one of them I know which one I would pick :wink: Maybe, the Poll question needs rewording. Personally I think that people should cast a vote on the Router they own and they are happy with it...

Thanks Asleitch & Alf :D I am going to compare the prices now. But since I want to get a vice from axminster, if the prices are similar I'll get them along. Unless someone says the Trend clamps are far better quality!

Are you voting a particular model because you have used it and think it's the best or because it's the one you'd like to have??

At the risk of looking stupid, I'll ask: Where on the Wealden site do you see the toggle clamps?

Gidon - Thanks, the inside is exactly 5x3.5 metres. I am still working on setting all the powertools up as efficiently as possible. I am very confortable working in it since I made the workbench. Asleitch - Yes it's amazing how beer can have such a motivating power! Alf - Thank you, I am...

Hi all, can anyone comment on the quality difference between the Axminster toggle clamp (http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?sub=130) and the Trend (http://www.trendmachinery.co.uk/clampsystems/)?

John I don't seem to have got that PM!

Johnelliott, would you like to add your table saw to the "Forum users' Table saws" thread in "Tools review" category? Or I can add it for you. I have that table too :wink: Loving it...

Enlarge the templates, make it big enough :D

That's really cool. I am bookmarking this page, this is a brilliant Toy to make. thanks Dave :D

Well I couldn't agree more Desmoengine, what ever the power tool, you will have the dust vaccum going too. This is too much noise for my young (cough) office worker ears. With my latest acquisition, the Trend AIRACE (dust mask) I look like Dark Vader's father. I have this big mask in front of my...

Sketchup is a very good, easy to use 3D software. I would say it is really architect oriented but does work very well for sketching furniture. Also I really like the sketch feel it gives, there is even a way to extend the line to make it really look like a concept drawing. Have a look at...

Are you going to post your article on your website, or you are forbidden to do so by contract?

I am afraid not :( Nothing is free, ever! Except the good advice from this Forum users' :wink:

Thanks for all your inputs, it helps a lot. Yes Noely, I would love to see pictures of what you are talking about, it's hard to picture it :) By enlarging the base will I not risk weakening the cross posts? I mean the longer the horizontal post will be the more they will be subject to...

Looking at the GBWoodshop, I noticed Dave isn't using any ear defenders operating all his power tools. I was wondering if most of you are doing the same. personally I use them all the time.

Hummm, this is not a great solution indeed. It looks like this could cost me a lot in proper casters :!: :?: :?

AP, well spotted. In fact I have them in but they don't show on the stills. Signal you should be able to see them in the 3D file. Thanks guys, I can see you are on the ball :D Can you give me suggestions for the casters. I was looking at prices and they are very expensive to get 2 fixed ones...

The top will be 30mm thick, made from a long plank of pine I saved from a very large machinery container. That's why you see 2 pieces on the top part, I'll joint them with biscuits. The posts are all made of 38mmx75mm timber. I am hoping this should cope easily with the load. Am I wrong?

Ok I have made some stills of the project. You can see them here: http://homepage.eircom.net/~cycworkshop/temp.htm If anyone is interested to get these plans or to review them I can send the file by Personal Message. I have drawn all the components as they would be assembled, to the exact size...
