A p*ss-poor delivery company would never wish anyone a great day so it's definitely a scam.

I bought the same Dymo label printer that Sachakins linked but second hand for that very purpose. No PC required, print labels as I need them, and much neater than my scruffy handwriting.

If it helps these pages are from the 2000 catalogue.

+1 for sites like Freecycle, Gumtree etc. if the price is free or fairly low, make sure its solid wood though as some people have different ideas on what exactly that is. I've gathered up loads of pine from such places that one day I hope to turn into something useful (very much inspired by...

A few years ago a friend - who after watching several YT videos wanted to be a part of the chopping board maker crowd - ran a 8 inch width end grain board through his Triton thicknesser and absolutely destroyed both the machine and the workpiece. I wish I still had the photos he sent me of the...

Is there much of a difference between a Dewalt BS1310 and a Elu EBS3401? To my untrained eye they look similar, maybe these old threads could help (both contain manual links to old models)? https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/elu-ebs-3401-bandsaw.117980/...

Wow...

Apart from the colour yeah it's similar to that one, I cant comment on the compressor though as I bought it standalone.

I've got a Senco FinishPro 18, runs off a compressor rather than a battery but despite that it's brilliant.

I've used Tacwise brad nails like these for a number of years and haven't had any issues.

If there were any bids placed and the auction had more than 12 hours left to run a final value fee based on the highest bid amount might still be charged.

That's long been my feeling towards the subject - it's woodworking not precision engineering so just how important are those tiny imperceptible fractions in the grand scheme of things. When building my first crosscut sled I only used a reliable framing square which I felt was all the accuracy I...

The seller didn't like the final selling price, if true then seems stupid to start the bidding so low and/or not apply a reserve. The seller got someone to do some shill bidding for them hoping it would raise the final figure (definitely against the rules). The winning bidder changed their mind...

I just had a read of the T&C's here https://www.amazon.co.uk/b?ie=UTF8&node=22944218031 and from that it appears you need to spend at least £30 on "qualifying items" in order to use the £15.

Thanks very much for confirming, as I suspected it wasn't what it appeared to be. I'll get it swapped out for something more appropriate and then borrow a transformer to check if it runs, I've no interest in 110v tools so in a way this has made my decision easier about selling/keeping it.
