I ordered an Incra Ultra-Lite last week, and when it arrived I found that there was a small problem with the right-angle fixture (Philly, in case you are wondering, the threaded holes for the three nylon bolts which control the fit to the fence were drilled & tapped too large) I decided to...

Hi Aragorn, I think Protrade (www.protrade.co.uk) is about the cheapest at the moment - £340 inc VAT for the TS55 with a 1400mm guide rail. The same package is £370 in Axminster. Generally it is about the same price everywhere (did someone say price-fixing? :evil: ) so I don't think you'll...

This might provide some inspiration, Gidon: Turns from a cot, to a bed, to a childs bed, .... to a pair of chairs More details at www.stokke.com although the site is misbehaving this morning. All that laminating could be tricky - although it would be a good excuse to get lots more Besseys...

Interesting stuff - I think I'll have a good read of the instructions for the homemade version from Scrit's link. Thanks Gidon :) NeilCFD

Wow - never seen these before, Gidon - do you know if they are any good? NeilCFD

Congratulations, Dave! A worthy winner :D And many thanks to Alf, Tony, Signal & Brimarc :) NeilCFD

She is gorgeous, Dave - is she a husky? NeilCFD

Don't worry - I put the Tyzac down too :) NeilCFD

I've put your thicknesser down as the DeWalt 733, Signal. I haven't added your Maxi as it is about to go. NeilCFD

Thanks everyone. The list has been updated to include all the posts up to tx2man. NeilCFD

Adam hit the nail on the head there - it is the price of the software which makes the difference. A shrinkwrap copy of WinXP Pro would add £230 - as Adam said, I trust you have allowed for this cost :wink: www.ebuyer.com is a good place to get cheap components. NeilCFD

Hi Ian, You might find the Convert utility useful: http://www.joshmadison.com/software/convert/ NeilCFD

Several very valid points which make a lot of sense. In terms of the aesthetics of a cupped table top which John & Alf touched on, I have a farmhouse-style kitchen table (bought, not made) with a 1.5" thick pine top (made from an old telegraph pole, I believe). The boards, which are around 6"...

I've always thought that when gluing up boards to make something such as a table top, the standard practise is to alternate the annular rings across the table top. I was having a 'look inside the book' on Amazon.com at 'Making Contemporary Wooden Tables' by Thomas Stender, and in the...

Hi Aragorn, Re: the antibacterial properties, this is indeed true of several hardwoods. Cliver & Ak from the University of Wisconsin tested various hardwood and plastic chopping boards by adding various bacteria and measuring what happened over time. A summary of their findings is here Hope...

Looks fantastic, Philly :D I have a great idea to create some space for your new acquisition - just send me your router table c/w Incra fence - it just looks so in the way at the moment... :P NeilCFD

Hi Esp, They are called Flexinail Points (well, that is one trade name for them anyway...) Axminster have them here for £4.88 NeilCFD

A nice haul, Adam :D Particularly your two A-list items of the lathe & fantastic-looking sanding station (cue for Alf to make comment about space in workshop :wink: ). Shame about the spindle moulder delivery not working out though - that would have been a bargain. Glad to hear that you...

So Adam, Watcha get????? NeilCFD
