I've got a beer fridge in my workshop (in the bar side) it's great to keep your beer and drinks ice cold but not so good for food/chocolate...

MKI (left), MKII (right) I use the Porter Cable/Flex 7529 in my router table. It has a handy fine height adjuster which allows me to accurately set the bit height exactly where I want it. The trouble is the dial is small and when the router is inverted in the table, it’s working against gravity...

Yup I'm sad (I watch Apple's keynote announcements) and the iphone looks great. Depending on the UK network and price, I'll be buying one..

Happy Birthday Phil :D :occasion4: Have great day...

Thanks for all the comments :) It's the first project I've done in ages but I'm pleased with how it's turned out. I should be starting on my next project at the weekend, so might manage two projects within a month :o ;) Very similar to Norm's, just slightly different legs and column. I...

I got a pallet of oak off them a few weeks ago. Good value for money IMO, even though we had to off-load the timber piece by piece from the truck :shock: Apparently most of their trucks have tailgates, it was sods law that I got one that didn't :roll: There are a few pics here! As you can...

What's this I hear you ask yourself? Is it really that time of year again?? Has Charley actually made a project?? :o Yes, it's true! I've been busy in the workshop recently. I've got a few projects lined up and I've just finished my shaker style table. It isn't a 100% copy of the shaker...

A quick guide showing how to get your cast iron machine tables rust-free & looking like new… In my workshop, like many people I have a problem with rust and without regular care my lovely, shiny cast-iron tables turn a not so lovely rusty brown. My...

Hi Tony, We've got a Panasonic Viera TH42PX60B (an older model) and IMHO it's a fantastic telly... Great quality with loads of connections... £699 for the TV, stand and recorder sounds like a good price to me. Although search for it on Froogle and Kelkoo as we found a better deal online and...

I use ZoneAlarm (free version) on our PC's here.. Been using it for a few years now, seems to do a good job :)

Just watched this video on youtube, it's worth a watch as it shows just about everything you shouldn't do when using a router. It's quite scary though that people actually work like this :shock: I think it's the first time I've ever seen anyone exhale saw dust. It's okay though as he's...

Just to add to Rob's advice; when you tighten the knobs on the jig, make sure it's applying even pressure on the chisel as this has an effect too. There's a simple guide here which may be of some use...

Don't forget the 'Projects, workshop tours and past mistakes' forum section, it's full of member's projects and WIP photos. I don't think I'll be putting the gallery back on the site but I'm currently looking at linking to a third-party gallery website (Flickr)...

Off the top of my head I have the following power tools (portable); routers (5), drills/drivers (2), delta sander, mains drill, SDS drill, planer, circular saw, jigsaw, biscuit jointer.. My ROS blew up last year, still haven't got a replacement.. I don't think the database will cope with all...

Before I start I must mention that I am not a qualified electrician so therefore we can’t take any responsibility – the information below is just purely my experience of importing a power tool from the US!…. I’m quite fortunate that my sister has a US postal address and the other week when my...

I have to say I'm happy I've seen this thread as up until 20 secs ago I thought I had a 'collectors problem' with routers. I don't feel so bad now - I've only got 5 :lol:

There'll be no stopping you now, eBay's very addictive :) Unless the seller stated delivery/response within x amount of time I would give it at least a few days.

Welcome to UKW Ted :D
