Well done - looks good - looking forward to watching the build. What woods are you going to use and what sort of finish?

After finishing the design course I've set to work and drawn out my very first design. I'm still waiting on my controls to arrive and I've gone for a tune-o-matic bridge so I need to draw the four pos...

So, building for customers eh? Damn dude, you’re in the big leagues now... Why not ask your custy which switch he’d like? Or am I missing something? @mattbeels 🤣 Hardly big time. 🤣 Y...

The depth gauge is good as well.

I get the impression that Axminster is the UK equivalent to Grizzly in the US. I have the feeling that they make good stuff but I’ve never seen their tools over here so I’ve never bothered to research...

Thanks Matt Appreciate your input. If I had room I'd always choose Wadkin 4 phase. Axminster Craft has good reviews, but it's all in the setting up.

@mattbeels well when you put it like that, what's a bit more work right? The course is so well broken down into manageable chunks it makes it all seem doable.

Thanks Matt, I'm inclined to the local Axminster equipment because their customer service has been good for me over 25yrs now. I want fast reliable jointing. Fence on current planer flexes just enou...

That is just great. Good looking out Boo.

Kill switches. I Dig em.

@mattbeels still at the designing stage but I really would like to build an explorer, just not sure it's that sane for a first build.

Hi Folks, I'm going up a notch with regard to Planer Thicknesser. It's between 1) Axminster Craft model 2) Scheppach 260 Anyone have any experience with either of these? Thanks

Brilliant! I've kept sawdust in old coffee jars just in case. That's why there's not a lot of space left. Oh and I have an area just for clamps. There's a story about clamps but my memory fails me at ...

The good thing about my DeWalt is that the on/off switch is on one of the grab handles and it latches but is easy to switch on and off - the other handle locks the depth of the cut so you always have ...

Yeah man. That is a nice router! That is all you need.

Bosch makes great routers and more than sufficient. I do builds with my laminate trimmer alone with jo problems. I do suggest a plunge base attachment. Believe me, you are gonna wish you got it sooner...

Oh, make a big base plate for it using 1/4 thick acrylic. Or even hardwood will work just harder to see. The day I did that @clinton, my routers became a whole lot more useful! I should have done it...

I have standardised on 1/4” router bits so that they fit all of my routers and I don’t need to swap collets on routers - just another thing to slow you down! I've got one router that can take 1/2" (o...
