Thanks for the replies - I'm going to see if I can get hold of some spare nozzles. I've tried some of the other methods with varying success - but knowing the methods are working for lots of you I'll have to try harder! I think part of the problem is it can be a really long time before I use the...

Definately - and if you want to do some basic editing one with a HDD is a real boon. I've only recently got Sky+ (because looks like I'll never get Freeview here) - together with my HDD/DVD recorder it's a winning combo! Not sure what these sell for nowadays. Cheers Gidon

Brilliant Niki! Handscrews are quite hard to get hold off cheaply. Cheers Gidon

I find the main problem is the vacuum hose catching when routing! Doesn't matter how good the extraction is if the flippin' hose catches the end of the workpiece and pulls the router off course! I find the only thing for me is to wear a decent mask like the Trend Airshield or such like. I only...

Drives me nuts - whatever method I try - it's always dried out by the time I come to use it again? Only one tube I've ever bought (no nails or something) had a screw top. Any tips very greatfully received. Cheers Gidon

Well done Martin - yep definately time to dust of my Inrcra RH fence! Cheers Gidon

Welcome. You really need both a thicknesser and planer. You plane one face, then you square one edge with the planed face against the fence. Then you thickness the planed timber with the planed surface facing down. To get the last square edge you can either use the thicknesser with the square...

No probs Rob. I played around a little more with the low viscous glue (1x)they sent me specifically for woodwork - it does give a pretty fine glue line actually. But still agree - I can't see it can be used for serious woodwork. Still it's fun playing :). Cheers Gidon

Martin - nice to see someone try this joint! I always wanted to try it when I got my Incra but have never got around to it. And even though I've looked through the instructions on how to do it I still can't quite remember how it's done!! Keep the pics coming. Cheers Gidon

Well I was interested in pursuing this a little further. I phoned up a company that makes these adhesives for industry and asked what glues he recommended. I had a very helpful chap who said he'd send me some samples. Well he did. It's not very scientific but one of the glues he sent does appear...

Gill - some applications use hot melt sprayed too. But there are still lots of serious applications with standard 12mm glue sticks. Yep - DD - glueing cardboard boxes with hot melt seems to be big business. Will have to remember that ;)! Rob - it idoes have quite handy filler properties - just...

When I bought some a long time ago - I got it from Jewsons. It works out a lot cheaper than the fireplace backs - but then you probably get a lot more than you need. Cheers Gidon

Oddsocks - you're right - thanks for the suggestion - the piano hinge will help a bit but will look into the finger guards. Thanks Philly - reckon it's cost £200. But would have been cheaper without the felt shingles. Cheers Gidon

Thanks all. Just an update - ended up going with Schultzy's suggestion - ran a rebate in the door and glued in a strip of pine for the screws to go into. Works fine but this has all taken far too long - arghh!! Pics here. Cheers Gidon

Well really am almost there - had a few problems attaching the door (see here.) I still need to add door handles, turnbuckles and a few other odds and ends. Plus sand and finish. Does anyone know what you're meant to do under the eaves? See the penultimate pic. I think I'm just going to install...

Agree with peebsa24 - I bought a Dewalt 14.4 combi and use it all the time around the house and in the workshed. It's more than man enough for putting up shelves and such like. For heavy stuff I use a Screwfix £30 SDS jobby which had paid for itself about 10 times over!! Cheers Gidon

Gill - sorry not worded very well. Guess I mean permanent applications - as a replacement for PVA or such like. I too use it like Chris and you, for jigs and temporarily ganging up items. But look at a site like thisand you can see that it has more serious applications - they're certainly not...

I recently upgraded my glue gun more out of curiosity than anything else and started looked into guns and glue. My replacement gun (an Arrow TR550 at £19) is still classed as an introductory gun in a market place that has guns costing up to £1000! But wow what a difference to the old Bostik gun...

I'll be honest no I don't anymore! The dust collection is the wall at the back ;). It doesn't work too well and I'm restricted for room so it gets in the way except for 90 deg cuts. Similarly with the vacuum hose. I do need to have another play with the whole dust extraction when I get a chance...

I looked at a few when I bought mine, but actually went for a Rexon from B&Q which I have to say is very good. It's very well made and can accept decent chisels with the included (or maybe Rexon sent it to me free - I forget) guide bush - I use it with Axminster Japanese chisels. The reviews at...
