Even if you only used a blow gun and paint spraying guns, it would pay for itself in no time. Ahhh, but I don't @Boo! The Mirka sander is probably the first tool that I've considered buying, where th...

I'd start off looking at something suitable for an airbrush that I could store on a shelf in my flat, and before I knew it I'd be looking at the Turbo Mega Compressor Pro Triple Plus and thinking "wel...

Every workshop should have compressed air, it’s invaluable. Even if you only used a blow gun and paint spraying guns, it would pay for itself in no time. The thing is with air tools @tv101 is that the...

@tv1 For me it's not just the tools, it's the loop I'd get into, finding that I could buy tool X if my compressor was just a little bit bigger... I'd start off looking at something suitable for an air...

A compressor is a wonderful excuse to buy all sorts of other tools, I keep thinking "perhaps I should get a compressor", but the cost of all the other tools that I'd end up buying puts me off!

A compressor is a wonderful excuse to buy all sorts of other tools, including a venturi bagpress unit. Hopefully I can avoid getting one though, since we have a couple at my hackspace (including a ver...

Great to hear your impressions @boo. It helps us all to look at what we need to take into account when making our decisions. 🙂🎶🎸🙏

Just saw this? What do you think? Yeah I’ve seen these on the market but I’ve never used one. The thing is, it’s better to have a proper decent compressor so you can use a range of air tools, includ...

Hey @boo. Just saw this? What do you think? 🙏🎸🎶🙂

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, any advice on avoiding tear out on those areas. Usual rules - take small depth of cuts with each pass and - if your router has a speed control - ...

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, Looks great @cheesewhisk. I'd probably rout up to near the edges and finish it off by hand with a sanding block. 🤷🏻‍ɤ...

It took almost as long to separate the two templates as it did to route them as the double sided tape didn’t want to let go. Forgive me if you know this already, but sometimes a "twisting" movement...

My only concern is that this is quite a big cutter to be using in what is essentially a hand routing jig Good point. I should have said that I usually aim to take off *fractions* of a mm in each pas...

I’ve had sorts of odd people drop in!! You mean you had *other* visitors too???

no problem and I meant to respond. It’s just been a busy weekend, I’ve had sorts of odd people drop in!!😂😂😂 Yeah I gathered you’ve had a busy one. Yeah there are all kinds of ...

Oh I got the buffing mops on Friday by the way (I sent you a text) Hi Boo, no problem and I meant to respond. It’s just been a busy weekend, I’ve had sorts of odd people drop in!!😂😂&#...

The only downside with making it taller That said, it is easier to add a riser layer to the bed of the jig to bring thin material closer to the cutter than it is to raise the height of the rails.

It all looks good to me @darrenking it will be good to finally have a purpose made, flat surface routing jig. I always have confidence in you creations. Oh I got the buffing mops on Friday by the way...

So should I go for a compromise of 55mm as standard to accommodate neck blanks?
