Hi Phil, I looked at the Joint Genie some time ago and liked the look of it but ended up going for the cheaper Axminster jig http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-ax ... prod21981/ It's not as flexible as the Joint Genie and perhaps consequently has been sat on the shelf unused since shortly...

Thank you.

What's 'IIRC' Rick?

We seem to have gotten off track slighty here - sorry.

Bury all the politicians and then we can all have a good laugh now :!:

Before I started woodworking I built a retaining wall out of green heart and when I asked someone in the know what to treat the bit that was going under ground with, he said I didn't have to treat it as it would out last me, even under ground untreated! No idea what it's like to work with...

Thanks for taking the time out to advise me chaps. I really appreciate it. Still unsure which route to take yet. I will have to ponder some more. :roll:

Hi Guys 'n ' Girls, I'm in the market for a new SCMS but have a budget of <£200. What would you more knowledgable folk suggest? Would a factory refurb be an option or perhaps a good second machine or am I better going new but an inferior brand? And if so - which? Grateful for any help Froggy.

Great video Andy. I love the way he takes his time to check his work at every stage. You'd think after so mant years it would be easy to become complacement and move quickly and robotically from one task to the next, but he seems to treat that rake as if it was the first he's ever made. Very...

Hi BSM Thanks for the pic post. I have a lathe but wouldn't call myself a turner. I did think about the cradle jig and planking. Maybe try to make a nice box, and I want some walnut dowels from the offcuts to use as a contrast to the oak in another project. I've never worked with walnut before...

I'm picking this http://www.leboncoin.fr/bricolage_jardi ... tm?ca=14_s up tomorrow. Exchanged it for a bottle of wine. It's about 2 foot long and 14" diameter Walnut. Any suggestions (polite ones Rolling Eyes ) as to what I could do with it? Sorry I had to use a link, still don't know how to...

Thanks for those sites, have book marked both, but don't forget the super no fuss service from Axminster - that's got to be worth a few quid extra?

That does look like it would do a good job Derek, but are they on sale, from where and how much? Cheers Froggy.

Of course :oops: pretty obvious when you look at it. Thanks Pete, I'll give that a go.

Thanks for responses guys. Pete that's a great bow saw. How do you get and release the tension on the blade?

Cheers Paul. If it's good enough for Rob it's good enough for me :lol:

Hi chaps, I need to buy a new coping saw for dovetails. Can anyone recommend a particular one or are they all much-of-a-muchness? And does the blade matter? I would've thought the thinner the better, but straight or spiral? I'd appreciate any feedback. Thanks Froggy.

Hi Ad, I'm in the middle of making some stairs and it's my first attempt. I must admit I'm struggling a bit. So good luck. :lol:

It's interesting that you say this Jeff, as I was thinking when I saw it '...ah we get loads of these in oak in France'!!

I just tried to put an order in and had the same problem del. & full price charged. I've sent them an email, but by the sounds of things I'll be lucky to get any joy :(
