Explorers are awesome. I like Firebirds and RD’s too but Explorers are just so James Hetfield for me. But my favorite has always been the Flying V. It’s just so... symmetrical and super badass. I also...

Good work @boo. I especially appreciate the shots of the blow gun. Real subtle. 👍👍

Yeah you should definitely get extraction for your tools first, it’s essential. Buying things in order of relevance is the way to go. 👍 Absolutely @boo Around five years ago I bought a inexpe...

@boo, yeah I forgot that one... I saw some small machines for a couple hundred bucks but I’m not really in the market for one yet. I think my next big purchase will be a dust extractor for the bandsaw...

I think it looks great @darrenking! The height of 50mm sounds good but perhaps it’s right on the edge? Most body blanks end up around 45mm but depending on how thick it is before planing, it could be ...

Those bits do indeed look lovely @jonhodgson! I wanted bits like those with the posi-drive or whatever it’s called, but the set I found when shopping was quite small. I do own some Japanese tools and ...

Haha @tv101, I know how to copy/paste photos (you saw the pics of my workshop, right? 😆). It’s just that when we paste photos here they’re always fuzzy and need to be clicked on to get full re...

@tv101 Hah! I just knew you were gonna get a Bagpress. Have fun!

@tv101 Gee… thanks.
