Derek, try and hold the saw with a straight forefinger (one inbetween middle and thumb) whilst you hold the handle. i was taught to hold a saw this way while sawing and it works well for me Ian

good review Alf, word of warning, dont overtighten the locking screw. This seems to be its weakpoint or i just got a bad one. Mine failed at that point but it wasnt the axminster one i had but looks identical. I also did the same with a mititoya adjustable square, that nearly ruined £120...

Gower, I have the Jessem Mast R Lift with the PC 7518, i bought it about 2 years ago when they just came out. It is a super piece of kit and the ability to change cutters from above the table is great. The fine adjustment is great when using stile and rail cutters. Its worth marking...

just come back in from the workshop, I made my part 2 version and results were as Alf had said, got to be ambidextrous but using it with the no9 its actually quite easy, and i prefer to work on the push stroke with the plane. Havent tried it with another plane as yet, I will go out later and...

now theres an idea V i never thought of that, do you think they would hang onto them until theyve done university it would certainly increase my bank balance and the ability to give more 'gloats' cheers Ian

Regan, I have only returned home late last night from work. I bought the Pax 1776 dovetail saw but havent used it yet. I ordered mine with the rip cut tooth formation Its looks and feel are of solid quality, looks very similar to lie-nielsen and adria but(feel another purchase coming...

super job Chris, Not one but two from the looks of the photos. Your metalworking skills are on par with your woodworking. Nice to see wip pictures what materials have you used, the sides look like brass not sure what youve used for the base or handle but looking forward to seeing the...

The 1776 is really designed for the American market to compete with the LN i'm told, it is a lovely saw with a nice presentation box but havent had a chance to try it yet or open the other ones. they arrived an hour before i left for work They were all bought for a specific project (early plug)...

Hi Michel, The OF1400 is a superb router, i have all three of the festool range and the 1400 is the one i like most. when i did the test for gww i tested it on some oak and a worktop. it will cut a worktop scribe but in more cuts that it would normally take for a heavier wattage...
