I have the same router and base, and used it for the first time yesterday with a new 26mm bush and a 10mm cutter. I did notice a little more dust than usual but nothing too bad - although I expect it would be worse with less space between the bush and the cutter. Sorry I don't have any...

I have B&Q and Wickes in my area and given the choice it's Wickes every time on both price and quality. I'm still quite a newbie to all this and trying to find a decent softwood supplier for small quantities in the North Wilts / South Glos area, so any recommendations would be very welcome...

I've bookmarked that, thanks!

That's a good point, thanks!

Little bump for the weekend, plus added some links to the original post. Hope that's OK,if no responses this time I'll just let it die, promise :)

Hello guys, I have a Triton MOF001 router which mostly sits in a table, but I'm keen to start experimenting with guide bushes and I like the look of the UJK metric set for sale at Axminster: http://www.axminster.co.uk/ujk-technology-metric-threaded-guidebush-set-502571 I'm really looking at...

That's exactly the conclusion I've arrived at - I think the recycling place is a good idea to call into when I'm passing to see if I can pick up anything to use in future projects, but if I have something on the go then it probably makes sense to cough up and get on with it. By the time I've...

Ah no this is actually a wood recycling centre - they collect scrap from building sites and businesses and sell it on to the public. They're actually a registered charity - brilliant idea but from my point of view they're unfortunately victims of their own success, because every man and his dog...

Thanks lurker - I could carry on calling into the recycling centre and eventually I'd get what I need, but now I'm half way through the project I might suffer the cost just to get it done now. But great idea for future projects, thanks for the tip!

I'm on a little project at the moment which I want to clad with tongue and groove v-notched board. I have the router bits to do the notching, so my plan was to head to my local recycling centre and pick up some lengths of pallet wood, sand them down and use them. Except they've been practically...

That looks excellent Nev, thanks for posting! I'm still mulling over how best to do this, but the help here is fantastic - many thanks to everyone for their input :)

Ah, that's a shame. I've also been thinking about stoats and weasels - I snipped the power to the bottom two strands of our electric fence, after finding a dead hedgehog in it one morning. Because they ball up rather than run away from trouble, they tend to ball up over the electric fence until...

That's a very good point - simpler and cheaper is an attractive thought!

Yes, our problem is that we're not normally around in the daytime as well. Damned work... I also forgot to add that their current run is effectively permanent - I've currently got a 16m electric fence in a square formation, with pallet wood edging and hardwood chips inside. We just let them out...

Ah, excellent thanks Mick! That definitely looks like it could be a winner, I'll take a deeper look into that. W2S, funny you say that, I have electric netting already, but we lost one recently because she hopped onto the roof of the coop and jumped over the top. She was always a little...

I’m hoping to get a little bit of advice for a newbie with a bit of an urgent need to learn some joinery skills. I need to build a covered run for my chickens to stop the fox getting to them, and although I have a rough design in my head, I’m struggling to work out some of the joints. I’ll try...
