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 ...

@darrenking. We'll Darren, to my now semi trained eye, I think it is fantastic. I would imagine that 50mm is deap enough to do the job but I don't know why but something in the back of my head is sayi...

Apologies for double posting but I thought I should probably post this under its own topic rather than hijacking TV's heading. Ok, here we go. There may be a couple of minor changes for the producti...

Just a couple of teasers! @darrenking. Hurry Darren. I need to get out of these suspenders. 😂😉 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@tej Sounds like it will be ok. I don’t use a lot of machines but cleaning sticky wood residue is the same on any tool even a hand saw, so if it does that no worries. I only use silicone on parts that...

Any parts the you might want to glue or finish will be affected by residue from lubricants. @rocknroller912 that was my main concern, this one states that it’s not silicone based and doesn’t Mark or ...

@tej Are you thinking of any particular brand ? I’ve used Lubo Wax which is petroleum based but now I use silicon grease spray for lubricating machine parts as it’s not greasy, dries and wood dust doe...

Morning all, do any of you have experience of using machine wax on bandsaw or table saw beds? What’s your verdict if you have?

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? 🙏🎸🎶🙂

@boo Now you can spray the shielding paint on with your airbrush, kewl! 🙃😜 I recently got the same calipers to replace my old SM ones. I really like the bigger display, I can actually ...

@russ I think that’s the better plan, they’re useful for a lot of tasks. Just please check the distance into the piece the one you get will cut, mine didn’t have clearance to drill the string holes an...

Thanks for doing that @tej. I'll probably keep looking for a better option or just keep saving for a pillar drill. 👍😁 Cheers, Russ 🙏🎸🙂🎶

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 ...

@russ if there’s something specific you want me to test out with it let me know and I’ll post up the results Thanks @tej. I was looking to use it to drill the holes for the bridge posts and possibly ...

@russ if there’s something specific you want me to test out with it let me know and I’ll post up the results.

@russ I’ve a set of those, came from axeminster I think. They’re ok, trouble is keeping them steady at first, where they were most use was drilling into a corner edge or through dowel. It’d be better ...

Has anyone ever used one of these to drill a straight hole? Are they accurate? @russ I’ve a set of those, came from axeminster I think. They’re ok, trouble is keeping them steady at first, where the...
