Could you use aluminium T-section? 1/2 inch was the smallest I could find online, but it could cut down to 10mm. To get the domed cap make a jig to hold the stem of the T but with clearance at the top to enable it to be bent down to give a droopy T. Food for thought. Brian

Are these brass screws or brassed steel screws? Look like the latter to me. Brian

Restroom is where you do the rest, ie, all the unmentionables

Are those Bristol levers an addition put on by the retailer? The Charnwood promotion photo shows just a simple pair of screws. In normal use I would say they're superfluous. How often are you going to sanding 10"+ boards. These open ended sanders have been sold and used for years with no such...

In your defence (English English, not American English) English is a right mish-mash. I'm just reading the book 'Roman Britain and why we speak English' It's a fascinating story, if you're that way inclined. Brian

Laguna provide a removable support for the open end to address this possibility. Brian

Surprisingly wild flowers do best on impoverished soil. Serious WF gardeners will strip the topsoil off to achieve instant impoverishment. This is probably a bit drastic in a domestic situation but you can steadily impoverish it over the years by removing all top growth and not allowing it to...

No, incorrect. A router table is just a mini version of a spindle moulder. Just Google it and you'll see they all have fence systems. Both can be used without a fence. The more sophisticated SM's feature tilting shafts and reverse direction rotation which no router table will offer. A decent...

A homemade tablesaw sled would be a good addition to your kit at this stage and would be safer than the mitre gauge. Brian

I was going to say something similar to @niall Y but he got there first. I would just add that my philosophy is that if I haven't used it in the last 5 years, it's a prime candidate for for the big E. I realise that this might be a big ask for @bentontool to accept as a lifestyle choice. Never...
