Cheers Matt for the welcome. 😀 Yeah I'd seen it had only 4 inch depth of cut. I had also considered splashing out on the 350 which has a bigger depth of cut and wouldn't stress the motor as m...

Its proper daft this problem with stocks of these machines. Supply issues will sort themselves out over the next few weeks/months. Don't rush to buy something almost-good-enough now, and then struggl...

Soud advice Grr I wish the edit function would work properly! I meant 'Sound advice' of course.

I will probably wait on a good deal/opportunity to buy a bandsaw. Until then , the jigsaw or a friends bandsaw will have to do. I am in no rush

Then when routing, you have to work away quite a bit more material, so I take my time and use several passes before my routerbitss' bearing touches the template. Only then I go a few mm deeper and rep...

Hi Koendb and Jonathan, great to meet you both. I finally managed to find a Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S so have ordred that. Stocks of the machines seem to be trickling into the country now. I've...

I always think it seems a bit silly to use a 350 watt drill so you don't put too much strain on your 1400W router! I think the idea there @jonhodgson is to lessen the strain on the router bits so the...

Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S That’s a sweet saw @hursty, great job! That was the one I was considering but as my family all chipped in for my Birthday I went up to the Sabre 350, cuz why not, ri...

@mattbeels with the price of quality forstner bits I'm not sure that's a saving. I'm thinking of trying one of these for bulk removal.

You’re probably right @jonhodgson but since that’s the way Dan Erlewine does it, many will follow. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Cheers @mattbeels. I was originally considering the BS250 but managed to push it to the BS350. I'm pleased I pushed the budget a bit on this. Yes absolutely if you can get the Sabre it's definitely wo...

We will be making tons of man glitter. 😀 Totally @tej! I was going to buy the 350S myself but then I fell in love with the Sabre and as my birthday was approaching I thought I’d try to wran...

@tej Here is the the kind of thing you need to cut inlays. I got mine from Cookson Gold by post. Attachment : FCF1E244-C746-42F6-B67D-54B201335FAB.jpeg Attachment : B57E35F6-A930-41D8-B41...

@boo When I learned bow making we had to cut our own dots from flat sheet. You could try google for model shops, there’s loads. They have all sorts of plastic sheet and some do custom work. Circle pun...

It's a boo guitar, I think you need to sneak a little shimmer in there! @jonhodgson Fair enough. 🤣

@boo It's a boo guitar, I think you need to sneak a little shimmer in there!

Hmmm, now there's a thought.. some metal flake in the bottom of the hole, then gluboost tinted yellow. @jonhodgson Well, I’ve got this epoxy resin and a load of pigments which have a shimmer to them....

aren't they a bit subtle for you? they don't glitter! @jonhodgson 🤣✨✨✨ It’s not for me so I have to go with what my customer wants.

Hmmm, now there's a thought.. some metal flake in the bottom of the hole, then gluboost tinted yellow. Bit expensive for a one off though.

@boo aren't they a bit subtle for you? they don't glitter!
