Hi Folks and a very happy new year! I've bought a budget disc/belt sander as I'm just an occasional but very keen woodworker and make the odd knife. I was disappointed to find that the disc part of the machine uses self-adhesive 150mm sanding pads. I was rather hoping they'd be the velcro sort...

Hi, new to so much here and really appreciating the information you provide so promptly. I am getting together a number of small-scale power tools to help me make one or two bushcraft related products. I like the idea of making some small turned handles for flint and steel firelighting...

This...

Thanks all. Gone for a Henry!

Sadly, no longer in production.

Many thanks all plenty to work with there!

Hi folks - I hope this is posted in the correct place. I just wondered if anyone had a recommendation for a small-scale dust collector. I've just sold my Scheppach 1000 as it was far-too big and noisy for my limited space. I was thinking of something along the 'Henry' line or similar. I just...

Thanks for the info. All I plan to do is small craftwork. I have a YouTube channel where I make some things for bushcraft and other bits and bobs: RichardOutdoors My next venture is knife-making so I only need a small saw to ‘rough-cut’ the handles before hand-sanding. Appreciate the tips...

Many thanks indeed. I had no idea (obviously new here!). I thought it may be some sort of guide like a French curve to saw a shape! Appreciate the info. Let’s hope eBay works out!
