Pititon is ok but it can make some people very drowsy (including me) so be careful about taking it and operating machinery, driving etc. I have found desloratadene (brand name Neoclarityn) to be much better, though I haven't suffered from allergic dermatitis so I don't know how well it it will...

I have had the airace with visor for a year or so and I don't think you will be disappointed with it. My only problem is fine dust sticks to the visor by static (same as most safety specs, I suppose) and needs a regular wipe with a damp cloth to keep it clear, but it does let you wear your...

Almost all of the options apply to me but I voted DIY because that's what I mostly do. I have recently built and fitted my own kitchen which means having to use a fairly wide range of skills, not all (or many) of them woodworking. At the end of the day it's the satisfaction of creating things...

Hi, and welcome to the forum. I'm not sure why you would want to paint a gun stock blue or green. Mostly gun stocks would be finished with an oil finish or maybe a polyurethane lacquer. If you want a durable coloured finish, how about cans of spray paint intended for car body touch-up jobs, as...

The price of 'precision engeneering' :wink:

I don't know enough about electrics to answer that but there is another thread running at the moment on wiring up an NVR switch and 9fingers and the others seem to know what they are talking about and I'm sure they will keep you right. I'm interested in the answer too as I have a 2000 Watt...

The NVR switch in the link has a max of 2000 Watts, the big Triton router has a 2400 watt motor.

Martin, there are lots of recent threads on choice of table saws. The Axminster 10" table sawsounds like it would fit the bill though. By the way, My Triton WC2000 with Maxi extension table, will do just about everything on your list, except quiet. It is a noisy beast as the saw has a universal...

The window stays look like they will only give you a 45 degrees opening whereas you need 90 degrees. Sorry, I can't help with a source.

Tenpin, does the chip extraction work ok with a 'shop vac? I'd always thought you needed a 'proper' extraction system ie. high volume low pressure, to take away bigger chips. I don't have a thicknesser, just a wishlist at present but I have kind of put off thinking about a thicknesser because I...

You can get BBC radio too. I listned to Wogan's "Janet and John" episode this afternoon after someone at work told me about it...hilarious.

I agree with Mike, I have use the white grinding wheel you list for grinding primary bevels (not needed very often) and the 800g/6000g Ice Bear kit. If I want extra sharp I strop on a piece of MDF with Autosol chrome polish for a mirror finish.

Hi Wilfo080, welcome to the forum. Sorry I can't help with the paperwork but the kit sounds interesting. Any chance of some pictures?

Where end panels show on kitchen units I have successfully glued on decorative end panels of painted 6 mm MDF "match board" with "Grip Fix" construction adhesive. If you can lay the cupboards flat until the glue goes off then the glue on its own is enough. If the cupboards are already in situ...

Roger, I have the T-Tech 2050 and it's not a bad router though a bit overpriced at around £100. Would I swap it for a big Triton...you bet I would. Would I swap the other way.....? Not bl**dy likely.

I don't see why you can't just make up 600 - 1000 mm units on adjustable kitchen unit feet, as you have been doing. Any wider and MDF shelves are going to sag badly. You can get a unified look by making up a face frame (pocket screws?) out of timber or MDF.

I have built my kitchen cabinets out of MFC put together with biscuits, chipboard screws and PVA glue. The cabinet backs are 18 mm MFC so they are rock solid.

It sounds like a good deal. My home made router table cost me the best part of £100 to make by the time I bought a sheet of 18 mm birch ply and laminate for the top etc. Add to that the cost of a half decent router (£100 - £200) and you're getting up there in terms of cost. The capacity to cut...

Hi Mani, from your post it sounds like you have one of these. If that is the case, I would carry it with all due ceremony to the nearest bin and drop it in. It's just not worth the time and effort to try and get it flat. What you replace it with depends on how much sharpening you plan to do and...

Hi Dan and Welcome to the forum. Since you have already indicated your liking for scotch whisky I hope you'll find time to travel north and sample some at source. The Glenkinchie distillery isn't too far from where I live but I find their single malt a bit bland. My preference is Highland Park...
