I've just 'dipped my toe' into Onshape and thought I'd pass on my experience of registering as a 'free' user. You have to initially register as a 'business' (which has a 180 day countdown clock to an annual (hefty) fee) and, after your account is finalised, you then need to apply to downgrade...

I have a 'digital-only' subscription to Fine Woodworking (which also gives me full access to their video library) ...

Talking of 'odd things' - don't wine bottle stoppers fall into the same category ?

Once again, we've fallen into the trap of not reading the OP's question - he specifically mentions that the need for wax he's seen in gazillions of YouTube clips concerning table saw sleds relates to lubricating the runners on the sled, NOT the saw table, mortice slots etc ... Here's the...

Welcome (PS: - it's a rule) ...

Mike - can you share ay photos of your below-table fix ?

Chubber - you mentioning 'long-pockets' in dungarees/workpants and it reminded me of a time when a newly qualified 'Elf & Safety operative (could tell he was newly qualified by the shiny new clipboard !) admonished me for parking a screwdriver in my workpants 'long pocket'. I think my...

While we appear to have drifted off-topic from whether we can read numbers upside down, my long-term bug-bear regarding accurate internal measurements (particularly on cabinetwork) was answered when a relative bought me a HULTAFORS 3m Talmeter tape measure. In addition being ruggedly-built, its...

Oh Peter - have those pesky Canadians just opened the door to a (never-ending) debate on 'rule' versus 'ruler' ?

Wine bottle stoppers ? While they may might make a great gift, I've yet to meet anyone who has ever found the need to use one !

Part of our growing snowman army for our Christmas Craft Fair ...

An old buddy of mine (who spent 30+ years in the States) reminded me the other day that: " America is nothing more than 50/51 States who have been at war with each other for a long, long, time - the only thing they have in common is the dollar bill ! "

Not 'elected' ? Hasn't gone through the 'vote process' ? If you are saying that KH's presence on the 'ticket' is somehow invalid and the office of the VPOTUS is nothing more than window dressing, what would happen if JB died in his sleep tonight - KH would become POTUS instantly (as did LBJ...

In the hope that you may decide to sell some of your items individually, could you tell me the size (dia / TPI) of the spindle collars on your vaccuum chucks ?

Stig ... What's that fiendish plumbing 'T' piece object to the left of your Snowman army ?

Needed a bit of skew practice yesterday so I converted a few chunks of beech worktop into these:

While the 30 seconds in the (workshop) microwave routine now suits my needs, I used to have a really effective 'drying box' made from an old (decommissioned) fridge. it used a low wattage incandescent bulb, thermostat / fan arrangement and worked really well (loads of ideas / alternatives on...

When teaching, I refer to the centres on a woodturning lathe as the 'drive' (headstock) and 'rotating' (tailstock) centres ...

You say you are looking for a mitre saw, can I assume that you don't have a need for compound cuts or a 'sliding' function ?

I'm a bit baffled by your statement: "the 75mm lengths appear to be 150mm lengths ripped in half. Which has resulted in only 3 of 4 sides that are tanalised." Unless somebody can correct me, I'm pretty sure that 'tanalising' isn't a surface finish, it describes the application of a liquid...
