Johnboy, nice work - It will be interesting to see how the different woods in the chopping board wear down after a few years. Andy

Brilliant idea Lee, I especialy like the sliding horse shoe book end Andy

Declan, I very nice piece, any construction details? Andy

HS, its looking a lot better, I like it. From a personal preference I would prefer to see the same font used thoughout. This is noticeable in the Portfolio area each section appears to be in either a different style or size. Andy

Are there any running cost comparisons available for the various different hob type? I've long since been curious to know the most cost effective to cook for example to boil water, Electric kettle, kettle on hob (halogen, induction, electric rings, gas rings etc), or even Microwave. Andy

Simon, welcome. My approach to acquiring tools over the years has been driven by the projects I want to build and the materials I want to use. I have never made anything from MDF and ply sheets I have cut to 4'x2' before I bring them home. I do have a TS on wheels in an 14'x8' shed. Because I...

Welcome Duncan, Chas, plenty of pics on the website good ones too & a mug shot for the gallery. Andy

I'm a bit late and I've never really understood what Thanksgiving is all about but hope you all had a good one. Andy

OK so the 1st coupla days did not go our way. Watch out tomorrow the wheelie bin is due a big score! Andy, clutching at straws in cloud cuckoo land.

The reason I try and get into the habit of laying mine on their side is that on a cluttered bench (where there is work there is no order :lol: ) I might not quite see what I am placing the plane on when I put it down. In storage they are wrapped in anti-rust paper and layed on their side in a...

Oh I forgot - I did this once and have no intention of doing it again. I did not do the whole cut in one pass about 1/2" at a time IIRC. It was still scary. Andy

Tom, yep looks like Screwfix are no longer supplying it. I bought my last tin from Brewers http://www.brewers.co.uk/locator_county.php Here is the manufacturer's site http://www.palacechemicals.co.uk/WoodCareProducts.htm It's taken me a while to find an online source (Google > Patina 320g)...

generally speaking I use both. Although I am prepared to remove both for nibbling tenons - fingers well out of the way, both hands on sliding carriage. Andy

Someone around here made a table along similar lines with jigsaw shaped pieces I've searched around but cannot find it. Perhaps someone else can? Andy

Neil, it's a marathon not a sprint. Tis a game of 5 halves anything can happen. Andy, trying to look on the bright side.

Tony, Excellant work and great website too. Andy

Tom, you might like to have a look at Patina - available from Screwfix and elsewhere. Have a search around here for user comments. It is certainly water proof and very hard wearing. Andy

Ever thought of taking this wookwork lark up for a living - I think you'd do quite well :lol: :lol: Lovely stuff - I'd like to see the innards too. Andy

The film can be seen on Film4 9.00pm Thursday night. Andy
