3mins 24secs, using components. So come on, Dave, I bet you can do it in under 1 minute? :D Cheers, Neil

Sorry, BB, I'm guilty of looking at the URL instead of following the link! :oops: I'll remove my post if you want. Don't take it to heart when you feel your posts are ignored btw - I think about 9/10 of my posts are! Probably why my posting rate has gone down to about 1 post a month...

Is this the place you were thinking of, Tom? http://www.kofferfunshop.de/ Cheers, Neil

Thanks, Ross - now I'm off to do it - hope all the worktop behaves itself once I start chopping it up 8-[ Cheers, Neil

Thanks, Jason & Oryx - I was hoping you two would post! Its going in an unheated (brrr!) utility room and the worktop has been in the adjoining garage for a few months so hopefully the movement will be fairly minimal, but I'll make sure I don't restrict the movement at the outer ends. I would...

Hi everyone, I meant to post this earlier this week but of course its been a busy one... :roll: I need to fit a solid beech worktop this weekend, and its into a corner with a (large) sink squeezed in on the diagonal. I would like to do it with 22.5 degree mitres: but I've just remembered...

I'm amazed to hear that too. If that was more than a year ago, it might be worth trying again as I would guess that anyone dealing with commercial property would be interested in any potential client at the moment! How about Athlone - quite well connected for the whole country (and only 40mins...

My LA Jack was £121.13 (a January sale at Rutlands I think) so its now 'worth' almost double what I paid for it. BB, these were all 'normal' prices - the only launch offer I can remember out of these items was the honing guide, which was £30 for a few weeks IIRC. I think there was a bit of a...

I wouldn't hold your breath for a compass plane - from another thread a long time ago where Rob was teasing us about the forthcoming list of planes again...: Also Rob listed the prices of the next 6 or so planes a few weeks ago, and they were all well below the sort of price he would have to...

I was checking the Axminster clearance list the other day (for the first time in ages) and I spotted that they had 4 K125 k-bodies on the list. I've been wanting four of these for a long time, so this seemed like destiny and I got on the 'phone quickly. They were £30 each, normal price £43 I...

Try a PM to Chris (Waterhead37)

Rob, there is a 38 degree position (well, actually 37.5 degrees) but its not labelled for some reason - just set the guide on the yellow position and set the scale to the mark labelled as 50 degrees for the red position. I agree with you, though - if you want complete flexibility about angles...

I'm delighted with it - it cuts quick enough for the relatively small amount of grinding I need to do, and its great for flattening the waterstones too. Must admit I'd like Wizer's collection of diamonds instead of the waterstones, though :mrgreen: How are you getting on with your Tormek for...

Which is (or was anyway) very cheap from Dick Fine Tools - much cheaper than Axminster. Cheers, Neil

Wizer, I think I remember how it was done - if this makes no sense, I'll head to the workshop this evening & check. You have to put the guide on the green 'back bevels' setting, then set it to the 50 degree position on the red scale, which corresponds to half that angle (i.e. 25 degrees) on the...

Wizer, I hone the blade from my Preston-style LN shave directly in the Veritas Mk. 2 - I'm sure the Boggs blade is larger so you shouldn't need the small blade holder. I'll have a look tonight to remind myself how I do it #-o Cheers, Neil

This is brilliant (although it doesn't like cheap tins of tomatoes from Lidl) and the Rosle garlic press is the best one I've ever had - expensive, but it will probably last forever whereas I've broken loads of cheaper ones. Cheers, Neil

Hi Custard, this manual by Rick Christopherson is much better than the one which comes with the Domino anyway. Cheers, Neil

Me too - my only other Metabo tool (a cordless drill) also developed a problem after fairly light use. OPJ, mine is the older model and I'mm 99% sure that Gidon's will be as well. I haven't seen the Turbo in the flesh so I've no idea if they have used the same silly design for the button...

There was apparently an infringement of a Mafell patent on the spring-loaded pins used for location, so Festool had to re-design this part of the tool. The new model uses hinged plastic wedges. Check here and here for more info. This is the only difference as far as I know. If you can get...
