Fast dovetails

What is our equivalent of SYP?

I'm surprised that no one's mentioned his choice in, um, bench appliances. My wife walked behind me and asked me what I was watching. Her comment was, "OMG, does that thing need batteries?" :roll:

I was only trying to be funny in relaying something that I found humorous; I thought the video as a whole was educational. I wasn't disparaging or dismissive of Rob at all. Defending him when there was no attack and bringing someone's wife into a reply is completely uncalled for.

Yes i realize that now, and I as previously mentioned, I apologize.

I don't think we have anything as nice as SYP Tom. For me, the best pine species come in from the States, and there's a premium on them over here. I.e Douglas fir, SYP, pitch pine and parana pine.

If I were using pine fordrawer sides, I'd choose parana pine (which used to be known as SYP in some parts of the UK.) because you can find quarter-sawn planks.

Oooops! I would also use SYP of course...

Not so cool: The bodyguard.

I see Murphy's Law is operation again... Dunno how many times someone's asked about learning to cut dovetails and I've said 'Rob Cosman's yer man' and the one time I'm critical... #-o :lol: Oh well, still stand by what I wrote and appreciate Rob posting his counter opinion - hope you hang around, Rob.

(Now can I show off my first ever attempt at a mitred dovetail, based solely on a certain DVD? Just to prove I'm a fan usually? Can I? Well I will anyway. S'okay, it's only a link.) :wink:

well yes, but it is spelt different, c instead of the s

Interesting. There's an entire Wikipedia page devoted to American and British spelling differences. Personally, I think our U.S. spelling variations are less colorful (or colourful) than their European counterparts.

I do. But only 'cos I have http://www.acronymfinder.com bookmarked.

I will go away with my 'Bravo' now; possibly pausing to frame it. Don't mind me...

For any orders I receive off my website, if you mention this thread I will send 30% of the total to the Red Cross Haiti fund.

Just for curiosity (not about this laudable initiative): how many saws do you usually sell in a month and how many do you ship to Europe?

 

[wizer]

yes and can you also print your last three months bank statements... :lol:

Nah! I have worked for the MOD and the mobile telcos have got them knocked into a cocked hat, I have read documents where it was all acronyms apart from a few connective words. Plus we get to make words up
