skelph - personally I wouldn't bother if delivery comes up as that much - you can get the same thing in Lidl, B&Q etc for under a tenner. And as dickm says they won't be up to much. I was just impressed that I could get something which I have a use for for so little delivered to my door! I did...

I've just ordered - it's free delivery on any size order (even a 99p cable) - it's a special promotion. If you log in and add something to your basket go to checkout you'll see it there. I doubt it'll last long - prolly just for the weekend. Or it may have already run out :(. Cheers Gidon

Cross wires here - I was looking at the other items on offer from that ebay seller - one is a Trend T9 for £75 which is a good price albeit a reconditioned one. By the way that £10 price if for a T3 case with no router! Cheers Gidon

This is a bargain - even if you just use it as a sawhorse: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133533 If you login (not sure if it works on newly created accounts) - you will see FREE next day delivery - on anything whatever value. It's no LN but could come in handy. It just so happened that I was...

That Trend T9 router is a bargain! Someone was after something like this the other day ... Cheers Gidon

I picked up one of these earlier this week to add to my collection ;)! It's not bad at all for the price - although the cordless operation is a bit suspect and it's fiddly getting it back into its holder once done. Just as an aside - the gun I mentioned in this thread is now half price at...

Yes - is UHMW plastic tougher than diamonds!! I have some in my shed - will have to try it ... Cheers Gidon

Hi HM Good to see you're considering a table saw ;). I bought mine when you couldn't get cast iron stuff so cheaply, but I bought it with maximum flexibility in mind. I have a removable sliding table and a fold down rhs table. (Plus small outfeed table) I have a small saw and with everything...

Guess it doesn't have to be freehand - I have some leather glued on some Ash but wouldn't have considered pulling my honing guide across it! I use quite a quick sharp motion on the strop which I don't think will lend itself to being done in a honing guide but will give it a try to see how it...

Thanks for your replies. I have spoken to FENSA - I didn't find them very helpful - first off it's really hard to speak with anyone - the number on their site just gives out messages about writing to them or looking on their website. Anyway I finally got through to them and they told me there's...

Frugal - see my post on the extra extra fine DMT: https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... highlight= I use DMT diamond stones in the main. It's pretty sharp off the 1200 grit and for a lot of things that may be enough. Look at my video in the video section here on one method I used for...

Hi We had a load of windows done - one set March last year and then some more November time. The company were FENSA registered and came well recommended. Anyhow right at the end of the installation of the second set of windows - the company went under! The company who took their work over were...

A little over budget but the Dewalt 625 is a good choice too - and much more comfortable hand held than the Triton: Here's the cheapest (£195) I can find. For handheld and table use it's hard to beat the Trend T11 but that is over your budget. Are you definately after a 1/2" router? What you...

Great reply - and very handy to have it written down. I've always got my blades from Dure Edge but think I'll have to try one from Dragon (plus can't remember what the current situation is with Dure Edge). Cheers Gidon

Great job David - well done! Enjoy using it. Cheers Gidon

Amazing stuff. Like the bit about not finishing his pieces: "pale colours enhance the shadows". Yeah and finishing would be an absolute nightmare too! Cheers Gidon

Sorry missed these last two posts :oops:. Thanks Andy - I'm curious more than anything! I already have a variety of ways of polishing my final edge - but this would have to be the easiest if you're using a honing jig. I mostly use some 3m 0.5 micron microfilm stuck to my fine diamond stone...

Not sure if you've actually tried the Laserkerf or you're just referring to crappy laser guides on crappy chops saws from B&Q - but an accurate laser line on a good quality saw can be handy and is more than a gimmick - it negates the need to have to pull down the blade to the line which can be...

One option would be to install a Laserkerf: http://laserkerf.com/ A few of us on the forum have one fitted and they work pretty will will careful setup. My Bosch has a two stage start-up but I'm still happier lining up with the laser for most cuts. Plus it's a real boon for cutting to a marked...

Wizer Have you seen this article in FWW: Does require FWW sub. The chap uses Sketchup for workshop layout - and did have some sketchup machines to download which you may be able to adapt? Cheers Gidon
