I like mine a lot. Only used it for water-based finishes so far but it performs very well. I'm a novice sprayer and found it easy to set up and adjust. Be aware though that B&Q appear to have discontinued it and it may be difficult to get hold of one.

For the router table a finger jointbit might fit the bill. Mainly used for end grain to end grain joints as seen in IK*A furniture.

Pekka, You are very generous. Not only do your friends get good, hand-made pieces of furniture they may also pick up a little of your skill and best of all the sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing "I made that" which I think is what motivates all of us. As I started reading this...

Thanks Keith, pm sent.

Some of my veterinary friends tell of a colleague who's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Cock, saw fit to call their son Everard. Poor chap had absolutely no sense of humour about it...well you wouldn't after a lifetime of sniggering would you.

Keith, what is the tooth pattern of the blade, ATB, Triple chip? It would go in my Triton Workcentre and I am looking for a blade to cut Melamine faced chipboard.

Now that's what I call a saw.

Sorry, that should be 235 mm (9.25") :oops: .

I'm also interested in trying a Wealden blade, a triple chip for cutting MFC in my case. I know that Wealden router bits are pretty good but I have no experience of their saw blades. Any Wealden users out there who care to share their experience? I have looked at Freud/CMT but have found it...

Hi Ace, Welcome to the forum.

Cheap is good but how do they perform...no point having three if they are all rubbish.

1). It sounds like your Evo-Stick PVA is just a standard PVA wood glue (not suitable for outdoor applications). As long as it hasn't been exposed to temperatures below about 5 degrees C it should be ok. If it has it will probably have separated a bit (curds and whey?) and should be discarded...

:lol: Brilliant! it reminded me of the spoof Harry Enfield did a few years ago. It was one of the "Mr Cholmondley-Warner & Grayson" sketches entitled, "Women, Know your limits".

I bought one of these before Christmas (B&Q Warehouse, Edinburgh), but the last time I was in the shelves were clear. Pity they are discontinuing it as it is a great piece of kit for the money.

A 15 mm slab of glass isn't going to flex much sitting on your bench top. I have a 10 mm piece that is approx. 150 x 450 and that is very stiff. An MDF backer is probably a good idea though, if only to protect the corners. In the past I have tried "No More Nails" adhesive (rubbish) and would...

I made my own hex bit adaptor out of a spare magnetic bit holder. I don't have a lathe so I chucked the bit holder in my drill press, with the hex shaft exposed and simply rounded it to the right diameter with a file. I cut the retaining notch and semicircular drive section on the end with a...

How do you compensate for the stone getting thinner as it wears (assuming water stone here)? I suspect there are better already on the market eg Veritas Mk II or even the Eclipse and its clones. I think I can hear mutterings in the background about freehand sharpening...I'll get me coat.

The " table cloth table" brought an old nursery rhyme to mind... There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all lived together in a crooked...

Another scientist here, I'm afraid. I have a PhD. in immunology and parasitology from Edinburgh Uni. and work on developing vaccines to protect livestock against gut worm infections. I did woodwork at school up to Higher level (roughly A level equivalent) in the early '70s and have had an...

Nice cabinet and nice gloat your lordship. I have also just taken delivery of a set of 1/2 price Bessey's...nice!
