    Home library

    It does show how different a set of views people can have… for me a set of book spines is relaxing and exciting, it is the start of one or more adventures into a new world, friends to make, emotions to share… highs and lows to experience and new favourites to re-read into the future… it might...

    Suitable but cheap Laser Printer or Alternative Required

    I suspect he is referring to your term 'laser printer' which is a box sitting in an office that prints on A4 paper :) you are after a laser / diode laser / laser cutter. There are a range of lasers out there, and fundamentally most are Chinese and are very similar - it will be down to their...

    RP Sabre 250; anyone have one

    only you know what you need and its value to you. as mentioned above, I have the sabre 250 and love it - sure it is not as good as the big models, but it is one of the best bench-top models around - if you are not tied to that space and can have a bigger bandsaw then I would be looking...

    RP Sabre 250; anyone have one

    I have it - I do occasionally move it from the workbench to sit on a B&D Workmate outside if doing lots of work with it.
