And this is the company that I have used in the past for bearings, pulleys and belts.

I came across this company who may be of use to us for sourcing mops, polishing compounds and other accessories. I haven't watched the finishing course yet so maybe Mark has already described the sta...

Hi Mike, That looks great, I love DIY machines! I would be interested to know the length of the spindle and the speed that the mops are spinning at as I can see that is geared down quite a lot by the ...

Hi Matt, send the files to darren.king@bagpress.com. Do you know what app your designer is using to draw the plan? Best file types for me are .ai, .pdf or .dwg (LT2000 version). Also if you can get hi...

Hi Matt, I have to agree that Festool stuff is sodding expensive but it is designed for professional use and it is far from being just a posh labelling exercise. I would find it pretty much impossible...

DeWalt 621 is a great little router and probably has the best dust extraction of any that I have ever used including my Festool routers. If you see one in good condition on eBay snap it up. Darren

Hi Dave, welcome. I would be less concerned about the bow than the knot but if the neck blank is making you have to think about how to avoid the defects then ask for a replacement. This is one of the ...

Hi Boo! Bad luck but far from the end of the world. I have had this happen many times with drills of many sizes! At least the hole with the broken drill in it isn’t going to visible so you have a few ...

Sorry to hear of your power issues and I hope you are keeping warm and fed (including tea)! Now if someone could invent a rain powered generator you would be sorted! Speak soon Darren

Look what arrived as I was typing! See you on Saturday, hopefully! Hey folks - due to a series of power cuts we are going to have to postpone todays livestream - starting to feel like the apocalypse...

Firstly, I would like to wish everyone a slightly belated Happy new year. Mind you I wished that upon loads on people at the start of 2020 and look how that worked out! Secondly, having been unable to...

A day late but happy 2021 to you all. Lets hope it’s a good one! Let’s face it, this year has very little to beat! Cheers Darren

Hi James, the top two look great but I don’t like the italic version. The font is stylised enough already IMHO. PS I have a laser cutter! ..... Cheers Darren

Hi James, have you thought about using laser cut veneers? Darren

Hi Rocknroller,That sounds an awful lot more complicated than most of the ‘winding your own pick-ups’ videos I’ve watched on YouTube. They mainly seem to be concerned with the the pattern of winding a...

The odd thing was, when I was pointing out these failings of the film to my wife, she just told me to shut up and said that she was only watching it for the views and the scenery. I just never realise...

Hi Jonathan, Everybody got a box with Amazon on it! Sod the lab in China, I think the WHO should have a scout around Jeff’s garage for the origins of C19! My wife keeps ‘buying’ guide dogs! I don’t kn...

I hope everybody had a lovely Christmas Day and I just wanted to be the first to propose this as my favourite Boxing Day song of all time!

However there's a drawback to self building electronic stuff, experts have already worked it all out using sophisticated equipment so unless you need something that's not commercially available it's a...

M&C, What can I say? What a truly wonderful way to say thank you to all your members and supporters! Clearly heartfelt and very moving. It was the first thing that has made me feel in the least bi...
