    Can I please SCREAM?

    Neil, I know exactly how you feel. By the way, remind me what LOML exactly stands for :?: :?: My local B&Q got upgraded to "Mini Superstore" status (They took over the next door which was a smallish comet) and introduced 8x4 sheets. MDF - none of this size ply sadly as yet. About a month...

    bench stops

    Describe what you mean? If you mean a bench hook, where you hold timber in place while cutting across the grain with a tenon saw - its fairly simple. Shouldnt really need a design for that :?: If you mean something else, you need to give more details for people to help u...

    Inspirational

    Why reproduction antiques, whats wrong with the real thing :P Yeah, its all good stuff. Looks nice, but I really wouldn't be surprised if its horrible to sit on. And very un-practical to clean. Amazing how the stuff is neatly put together, i'm sure its actually well within the bounds of many...

    Using a plunge router on a router table

    Yep, you can use an elastic band, cable ties, electrical tape - anything really, its fairly straight forward. I would reccommend that you wire up a safety (NVR - NO Volt Release) switch. This will allow you to easily turn the router on and off immediately, fix it under the table. If you want...

    Purchasing Wood

    If you haven't already, take a yellow pages and make a few phone calls, make a few trips to local timber-merchants and sawmills. Or try www.yell.com :) If you can stay clear of the big DIY and trade supply houses (B&Q, Wickes, Travis Perkins etc..). Their wood is usally of a lesser quality...

    Anyone got a Metabo BST12IMP 12V Drill/driver?

    I went for the 10mm one, I realised you got a bit confused there :wink: 3mm Isn't that much more, I've had 2 Makita 12v's in use for 3 years now, both with 10mm chucks - in a workshop environment, not a problem - maybe more of an issue on site. They are certainly not as chirpy as they used...

    Anyone got a Metabo BST12IMP 12V Drill/driver?

    Thanks for that Neil. Just looked at Which's comparison in February 2001 (Little time ago now!). And it was right at the top then :) Slipped down with the "others" in their Feb 2003 review, but I think i'll go for it. :)

    Anyone got a Metabo BST12IMP 12V Drill/driver?

    Hello, Yeah, i'm thinking about getting a Metabo BST12IMP 12V Drill/driver. £99 in DM Tools at the moment. From what i've heard, Metabo cordless drills are pretty decent. Just thought i'd get a few thoughts before buying... If you're interested: http://www.dm-tools.co.uk/store/browse. ...
