It's an interesting idea. I only wonder whether you could've designed it so that the legs fold-away with the table top, instead of having to remove them and store elsewhere? Of course, it may not work, depending on the dimensions of your top... The length of the top would have to be at least...

Absolutely fantastic! =D> :)

Looks good, Mike. You must have some workshop to be able to dry-fit a kitchen like that! :shock: :wink: How have you jointed the drawer boxes?

Did you see Henning's post in this forum, the other day? It looks as though some of Metabo's new saws still have those space-wasters sticking out the back... :P On the other hand though, they also claim to have 'cracked' dust extraction with their latest designs. I actually wish that more...

Thanks again, Bob. :) I'll go with the standard Z-section belt for now, as I do intend to sell it once I've finished and, yes, I do have a replacement lined up! 8) I'll also order a new spacer from Machine Mart - I hope others have learned and will learn from reading this thread... :roll...

Exquisite work, as always, Mark. :) Yes, Flickr seem to have changed things around recently - you know have to right-click an image, select a size, wait for the page to reload and then right-click it to get your Image URL. Then, go back and repeat for each photo! :x :P It's very frustrating...

My new bearings arrived this morning although, it's a little too early to tell whether or not they've made the difference as I've managed to break something else... ](*,) I don't know what the correct name for this 'assembly' is but, it's a spacer that sits between two bearings (which I...

Thanks for the heads-up. :) The one with the induction motor does look interesting and, as far a I can recall, it's cutting capacities are greater than any previous saws with induction motors. What makes the extraction so much more efficient?

Thanks, Bob. :) I've been and stripped most of it apart this morning (and my hands are black to prove it! :twisted:). It definitely seems as though at least one of the bearings above the chuck is causing the problem. Even after removing it, I can turn it by hand and it sounds as rough as heck...

Thanks for your replies. :) My long-term aim is to sell this one, actually, and replace with a model that will actually sit comfortably on a 900mm bench top - this one's too tall (unless you're 7'6"...) yet, it's too short to be classed as floor-standing! :roll: It currently sits on its own...

...Well, it was only a matter of time, wasn't it!! :roll: ;-) Now, that's one purchase that no-one can fault you for! :D I've been eyeing up the Makita plunge saw for a while but, I'd love to be able to spend that bit extra on a Festool... Was it full-price or did you get another bargain?

Hi guys, For a long time, I've suspected that the bearing just above the chuck in my Clarke pillar drill may be shot. It rattles a bit while it's running and it only started doing this about a year after I bought it (...I think I've had it for four-years, now! :oops:). It doesn't seem to...

Sounds like a good price for a bed. Are those "big bolts" any different to coach bolts? Could you not have made the nut recesses longer, so that you could get a ratchet/socket spanner in there, over the end of the nut? Like this: Or, you could have chopped out a recess for a hex-headed...

A great idea! :) Thanks also to Paul for the link to those fret clamps - I reckon they might also be compatible with the other guide rails (Festool, Makita, DeWalt, etc.). One would have to check but, they look to be a lot cheaper than buying the manufacturer's own brand. :wink:

Very nice. I really like the sleeve idea. You can of course by clamps and cable clips to do a similar thing but, you really need several of them to compete with this idea, or else either the cable or lead will still manage to get in the way. :)

BUMP Thanks for all the interest so far. Have sold a few packs but there's still a fair bit left for any other takers. --- Mods - please feel free to move this thread in to the new, appropriate forum. Thank you. :)

Welcome to the forum, Justin. :) Some rather impressive stuff. I particularly like the bandsawn box. You can always go back and edit one of your posts at any time - you're only missing the [/img] tags from the end of each line.

The only risk there is what damage his dreadlocks would do to the tooling!! :D :wink:

You may have done this already, but try registering your website as many FREE UK business directories as you can find. Start with the obvious ones (Google, Yahoo, etc.) and you should soon find your site rising up the listings for local searches. Google AdWords may also be worth exploring. This...

Very interesting. It's certainly got character and it works quite well. :) Are those circular marks from a saw blade or from your sander? Or... Is that the grain in the wood??? :shock:
