    Should I feel guilty?

    You should never feel guilty about investing in your business, John - I'm happy for you that things are going well so you are in a position to do so, I still hate you though :evil: :wink: :lol: I'd be very interested to hear what you think of the OF1400 when you've had time to give it a...

    this is driving me insane!

    Here you go Steve, just to save your frustration :wink: : I hope this is clear enough with the annoying text over it - if not, let me know and I'll do a screen dump of it one move away from the finished problem. NeilCFD

    Very nice, Alf - love the ebony handle :) Nice use of Patina - that was thinking outside the box, wasn't it? (sorry...) NeilCFD

    Festool MFT multi function table

    I think you're absolutely right, Pete. For someone in John's position I think the system makes an awful lot of sense, and I can forsee more Festool in his future once he's got a taste for it - OF1400 router would go very nicely with your guide rails and MFT, John :wink: The Festool book is...

    Sawing panels and CS recommendations

    Ah, well done Jake, so they do make bigger plunge saws, but the one Pete showed on DM-tools is a different model (KSP55F) to the one you found on Mafell's site, the KST55, and isn't a plunger, hence the confusion. You're right that none of them look like the Festool TS55 though - they look more...

    TurboCAD drawings.

    Try Sketchup http://www.sketchup.com - it is really easy to use, and you should have plenty of time in the free trial period to learn to use it and to produce your drawings of the deck. NeilCFD

    Festool MFT multi function table

    Hi John Sorry to be nosy, but I think the model you need will be the TS55. I think the AT55 is an old model number - it certainly isn't in the 2003/04 Festool catalogue. Any Festool dealer will be able to get the table in for you - none of them hold stock anyway, so everything needs to come...

    Sawing panels and CS recommendations

    Well, I'm not 100% on this, Adam (when am I ever? :lol: ), but the Mafell that Pete pointed out which works with the stiff guide rail looks to me like it has a regular blade guard, and no plunging ability: whereas the one with the bendy guide rail is definitely a plunger: NeilCFD Edited...

    How noisy are your tools?

    Very interesting, Tony. The biggest surprise to me is that the cordless drill is relatively loud - in fact I'm really surprised that it is virtually as loud as a Dyson. I wish I had a noise level meter to test a few things for comparison... NeilCFD

    Sawing panels and CS recommendations

    I was having a look on Rolf's website at his cabinet, and came across this comment: I'm not sure how good a job Google has done on the translation, but it does sound as though Rolf had problems with joined guide rails - maybe it would be worth asking him? Re: the Mafell - it it were me, I...

    Sawing panels and CS recommendations

    Hi Pete, Well, this is something I've been considering for a while now. At the moment I use a FWW-style guide rail and I do have some problems with the saw wandering away from the guide - I suspect that this is the fault of my extremely cheap and nasty CS. In an ideal world I would get the...

    Metabo Powergrip screwdriver and flashlight

    Thanks for the review, John. If anyone is thinking of getting one, Axminster now do a deal of the Powergrip and the excellent BST12 drill/driver together in a case for £149.95, which is only £50 more than the price of the BST12 on its own: http://www.axminster.co.uk/default.asp?part=329734...

    Carpenter makes clocks

    Hi Tony, The clocks are fantastic - well worth a visit. Don't miss the little button to activate the speaker on each display cabinet so that you can 'hear' a recording of the clock ticking... Also check out the camera obscura whilst you are there. Once you have seen the Harrison clocks, your...

    Music Stand lives again

    A fantastic tale, Alf, and told in your unique style. Proof that Chris doesn't have the exclusive license for giving excellent website descriptions of a project The end result looks super - I particularly like the ebony pegs and the coin set in to the upright (an idea I'll be stealing if you...
