I too am crushed its not arrived up in sunny scotland as yet, always is an interesting read, I think Rojek are from the Cheque Republic but i'm sure andy will be along soon to confirm they seem to be a bit late this year i normally have it around mid July, i guess they had a few late arrivals Ian

John, Theres absolutly no need to defend a super little jig like kregs, or the trend or others they all work great and they all have drawbacks, you are an experianced user of the Kreg and i was only pointing out that the jigs we made work in a different way and can accomodate different...

Aragorn, thats exactly how it works i have tried to draw the kreg layout i hope it works John I think what Steve is trying to say is when you use a Kreg Jig the angle it drills at remains the same whatever thickness of material you use. Its perfect for 18mm + thickness of timber because the...

Hi Chris, Both our jigs allow us to free up our power tools, Steves router just lifts off and mine unclamps at the handle. My reasons for doing the pocket hole jig like this was; i was about to embark on a project using this particular type of wood which then allowed me to play...

Hi John, Steves pocket hole cutter works by sliding the router down the tapered sledge, photo 1; with the the workpiece clamped from the underside, when the router comes into the material it starts off as a gradual slot then gets deeper, he then drills a hole from its face to allow...

Nice Jig Steve, Bet you had some fun working out those tapers, when i did mine it got chucked across the workshop a few times in frustration but its a delight when it all comes good. :lol: I must admit since using pocket screw joinery the biscuit jointer is getting less and...

Hi Jake44, welcome to the forum I did the test on the jet AFS1000 in GWW a few months back and I did mention the prices of the filters as being expensive especially the inner. I looked ‘Air Filters’ in my yellow pages and phoned the local companies 3off in my area and I gave them...

Chris, Thanks for the thread. I still havent seen the issue as yet,Scotland seems so far away from Bath for the postmen. For those interested i managed to get the perform range of power tools working like more expensive tools. The challenge was to make a cheap tablesaw perform like an...

tx2man, dont you ever sleep :) i.ve never tried this but my friend has and got pretty good results http://users.eastlink.ca/~pspencer/nsaeta/electrolysis.html fair bit of reading and seems to make sense, I might give it a go Ian

You have obviously thought about it for a while, i assume that you are trying to speed up production and or you are not getting the results you had hoped from your router table. i thought this would still have been a viable option with a router table setup with a slot cutter. I can only...

John, I similar to steve, had the scheppach spindle moulder but i only used it once in the 18 months i had it. i use 2 types of router table one is nyw version with the jessem masterlift and pc 7518 router, i hardley even use this any more i use my own design one mostly. You refered to...

Thanks all, I built a Lutyens bench a few years ago and i really fancied doing Norms, the one i built was a bit small and i quite fancy doing the NYW version, it would certainly stand out from the others at the cemetery and what a good way to recycle the teak, plus it would...

With having to deal with the worst few weeks of my life (lost a parent) and having to clear the house i have been running to and from the local tip. Yesterday whilst there and unloading a youngish lad came in with a van laden with old stair treads. He had 13off 1200mmx 220mm x 50mm thick solid...

Hi Neil, The Atlanta show is absolutely breathtaking, i went in 1998 or 99 i cant quite remember now it just seems a distant memory It is a mix for the hobbiests and trade alike Tools there were very cheap but i couldnt bring much home as i was working in the vicinity and had a very...

I've been looking at Rutlands TORNADO 9 PC MOULDING TCT SET - 1/2 just wondering if anyone here has tried them as yet and how would they rate them. i have brought over quite a few 'cheaper' cutters from usa but found them to shear at the neck if they were given some hard work or should i say...
