Whoah, 100 pieces of 25 cm x 25 cm. You lucky chap. Christmas has certainly come early for you ;-) I agree that Christmas ornaments would be a great idea. Our friend Steve Good has a lot of free ones you could download from http://stevedgo.ipower.com/cat/?page_id=2358 I also agree that...

Nice job Brian. They really 'pop' compared to the wood. Nice one ;-) Barry

Well done, they look good fun. Barry

That sounds like a good step up Gill. Nice one. BTW, if you decide to get another one from Germany (http://www.ebay.de/itm/Wave-Cutter-SP-3 ... SwY45URm13) PM me and we could arrange something that doesn't involve a huge shipping cost ;-) Barry

Ah, just caught up . . . you're talking about a new style of Forstner bit - doah!!! Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with the original Forstner bits. They always cut cleanly and produce nice flat bottoms. BTW, what's wrong with having wood shavings in a woodworking workshop? I thought...

Great news Gill and I'm glad you found Forstner bits to be so useful. If you wanted to build up a set of sizes you can usually pick them up at a good price on ebay. Barry

Absolutely amazing. Well done Dave.

+1 for that comment Brian. I do that too ;-)

Hello and welcome to the club. You have chosen a brilliant hobby to keep you out of the pub ;-) There are some very clever and experienced people here and everyone will try to help you the best way they can. We have all come to scrolling through different routes and therefore have a lot of...

I only ever use A4 labels these days. I find the time taken cleaning up afterwards is not much of an issue if I tease the residue with a sharp chisel. The ones I bought are from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Labels-Cop ... 160%2C160_ I agree 100% with Martin (thanks for the tip all that...

Well done for a smashing collection. Santa will need all the help he can get ;-)

For some of my projects (particularly pine) I like to use a wood dye and have tended to use the 250ml range from Colron or Rustins. Since moving to Germany I have had difficulty in finding them or their equivalent, but, I have found Clou water-based wood dyes in powder form. The power dyes...

Nice work Brian.

Nice looking piece of work. Well done

I have the Draper version and have always had to start it that way ;-)

Very nice Bob. I'm sure that she's thrilled. People like seeing their name on things ;-)

Hello and welcome. Nice to see another member from Scotland to join the existing 'North of the Border' team ;-) My advice would be to start with some simple projects and gain in confidence, then you can work up to more complex projects. I started with basic animal shape pull-along toys cut...

Very nice Martin.

I gotta see how this turns out - lots of pictures please ;-)

Thank you. Yes, I'm afraid there is quite a bit of sanding to do. It has to be done very carefully coz its pretty delicate and the last thing you want is to snap off part of a letter. I used some very fine grey sandpaper (sorry, don't know the grade) but its a bit like a wet-'n-dry paper. It...
