    Should it be a Van or Car?

    That's exactly what I'm thinking about doing although I intent to replace my car with a pick up anyway to take advantage of tax breaks etc. Cheers Tim

    Routers and Dust.

    How about mountain bike spares supplies? Maybe similar size to bicycle shocks? Cheers Tim

    Walnut TV Unit (Pics)

    Very nice - although its a shame that you didn't have a couple of bits of veneered boards for the shelves. Re wirewool - I have seen walnut react in the same way as oak to this treatment. Not that surprising since it has a high tannin content. So hopefully no water will go near it. Cheers Tim

    Fan Extractor for the Workshop

    The thing to check is the amount of air either moved or fltered. I would be surprised if a bathroom fan would come close to moving enough air to make any serious inroads into dust management - a 12" fan maybe. I would opt for the filter everytime but coupled with direct DX as well. Cheers Tim

    I have a question

    Maybe just to balance the pro T11 stand - possibly unlucky but here's a post I made the other day https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=158725#158725 Cheers Tim

    Worktop router buying advice

    A brief overview of my routers: DW625 which is great but heavy. Very powerful, poor dx and reasonably top heavy so easy to tip. If the fine adjuster is fitted it has a tendency to rotate in motion which is annoying and can be dangerous if it forces the cutter to stay exposed post plunge...

    Library / study latest with books in!

    Many thanks for your comments. The green is rather polarising - I was horrified when they suggested it but I do actually think it works very well. The rooms are quite dark and if the green had been darker it could have ended up looking black (they definitely wanted green) or if it had been...

    Library / study latest with books in!

    Long time no post - indeed I believe my first this year - so happy new year. Been away on hols and busy following up new jobs and finishing the library and study. 99% done now - just the lectern and pediments to go up. The more observant among you will notice that most of the books are two...

    First pics of library and study

    Many thanks for your kind words. I have only just surfaced from doing nothing for 4 days which was lovely! There were some questions: Cashflow wasn't a prob as I take 40% up front and a further 20% halfway through. I have found that in general the bigger the project the more profitable it...

    First pics of library and study

    As originally seen in this thread https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=122350#122350 Didn't quite finish - probably about two long days short but the clients are very pleased and understood that the delays weren't through lack of effort but more by supplier delays and being...

    Firefox 2 - Safe or not

    I know that Chris (waterhead 37) had a few probs with a previous update and that some new versions of any software have known clashes with other software or hardware installed. Cheers Tim

    To our American cousins

    Indeed. Happy Thanksgiving. As a comedian over here once said (I think it was Eddie Izzard): "They left from Plymouth and landed in Plymouth. How lucky was that!" Cheers Tim

    Width of shelf in relation to cabinet width

    Thanks guys. The shelves are 18mm but will have a 25mm lip. I think I'll experiment a bit but probably go for 2mm overall. There is a faceframe as well with a small lip on either side too. I agree about the whole shelf moving thing and try where possible to dissuade folk from lots of shelf...

    Width of shelf in relation to cabinet width

    For removeable shelves I mean. How much of a gap should there be on either side to allow the shelf to be easily removed but at the same time not rattle around. I tend to leave about 1 to 1.5mm either side so that the shelf doesn't have to be tipped up so far that the shelf above/ below has...
