I noticed these in the last Axminster review, and I would agree with you that they look identical to the Dakota ones. Very irritating to see these after I bought the old Axminster guide which isn't great. The Trend-style clamping mechanism on the ProGrips looks far superior to the one on my...

Well done Rob, that is very generous. As you say, they are well deserved :) NeilCFD

Those look the business, Andy, but please don't give Chris any more alternative ideas - I am really looking forward to seeing a hovercraft workbench and I don't think we should give him any encouragement to stray from this idea :wink: I bet it would be a world first - it may even make the...

Thanks Adam, Neil, Tony :) Damn! Still, I can console myself with my Holtey, picked up for €50 from a little 2nd hand shop we found whilst on honeymoon, and the unused Festool TS55 I won on emeraldisle-bay.ie (the Irish ebay) for €40 :wink: 202 unread topics when I logged on this morning...

Jeff, In case you haven't ordered it yet, DM have the Metabo + two Besseys for £139, plus you get the DM loyalty points: http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/store/browse.php3?section=5788&level=5&sn=METSXE450BES NeilCFD (feeling very proud about his shiny new wedding ring...)

Oh No! Then we'll lose my 'A-List' suggestion which Andy and Pete haven't commented on yet! Only joking Neil - couldn't agree more, I'm quite happy to sacrifice my post :wink: NeilCFD

Sounds intriguing, Ian - can't wait :) NeilCFD

Hi Digizz, You can download the Tormek manual here http://www.tormek.se/index_gb.htm if the Scheppach one isn't up to much. Alf, :lol: NeilCFD

Hi Pete & Andy, On the unfashionable topic of attempting to give positive suggestions :wink: , something I would like to suggest is to have an A-list each month, which only needs to take up half a page. A computer magazine we get at work (PC Pro www.pcpro.co.uk) does this and I have learned...

Digizz, The workshop looks fabulous - I am insanely jealous, you have done a fantastic job. The HMS260ci looks fantastic too - I feel for Adam having to look at this. Adam, have you had to put off delivery of yours until you have recovered? Its very interesting to see all the camera settings...

Hi Alf, Brilliant review again - thank you! I'm willing to bet that Alf's job isn't a million miles away from this already (my guess - editor for a book publishing company) NeilCFD

Hi Adam, Get well soon, mate :( NeilCFD

Superb review, Alf - like Noely I'm in awe! Can't wait for the next installment... So, can we start the campaign now for someone to send you the complete sets of L-Ns and Cliftons so that we'll end up with the definitive set of plane reviews? :wink: NeilCFD

Thanks, everyone :) Adam, I'll be sure to follow your advice... I have a lot to get though :wink: Chris, your are absolutely right, there is no contest! :D Neil, I think your weather is better than ours at the moment, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next week. NeilCFD

Aaauuuuggghhhhh! Too late! The torture.... :cry: To explain CYC's cryptic comment, I'm getting married next week, so funds for tool purchases are, ahem, sadly lacking at the moment. Unfortunately SWMBO and my plan to have a wedding list at Axminster didn't quite come off :wink: Neil -...

I think you're probably right, Alf :wink: NeilCFD

So in case anyone is curious which books I went for in the end (I expect I'm referring to Alf here :wink: ), they were: Tage Frid Vol 1&2 Furniture-Making Techniques for the Wood Craftsman The Woodworker's Guide to Hand Tools The Workshop Book The Workbench book No Hand Plane book - I...

Thanks Philly and Alf. Knowing me, by the time I decide what to get from the list I have now, the sale will be long over :roll: NeilCFD

What a superb piece, Chris! And the description on your website is fantastic - it has been printed off and added to my woodworking folder for inspiration :D NeilCFD

Yeah, thats it. Maybe Aragorn or JohnElliot can tell you more about it - I haven't used one. Apparently they are quite useful for general edging jobs as well as laminate trimming. I guess you could say they are quite specialised, and you could easily manage without it - it just looks a...
