Did you ever consider that one sale of a of length of 1"1/4 box wasn't a real money maker for them? I've been on both sides of the counter, and I prefer this side.

Hi Hew, The Oak Frame Timber company in St Asaph normally have some nice stuff. There's also Caerwys Sawmills. Tragically Roger Haydock in Colwyn Bay has now become Huws Gray and stock the virtually nothing. If you want some hardwood for practicing cutting joints with, I'm sure I could clean...

I'd use Multi Monti or Thunder Bolt fixings. Spax to a comparable product as well: http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Spax ... -29833.htm

Brings me in mind of my old man. When he was still able to get out to the workshop, you'd often see him with as many as three pairs of specs(or 'bins' as he used to call them) perched on the end of his beak. He used to get plenty of stick for it as well!

Anyone got one of these? If so, what do you think of it? Cheers, Ed.

Did anyone catch Norm making the drop leaf table last night? I thought the finish was....err....interesting :?

If it's in decent nick, I'd expect to get between £1250 and £1500 for it.

I think it's Sterling Lines in Hereford. You can tell by the colour of the boathouse. :)

If that's where I think it is, I'm not sure terrorists would want to get in there. Things might get a bit noisy.

Hmm, Axminster buy one, get one free offers on Festool. That'd be nice. Be very wary of any 'Dom for sale' threads I post in future. :wink: Changing the subject slightly, why on earth don't Festool ship a decent manual with the Dom? I've managed to find one online now, but six hundred and odd...

On Monday I finally took the plunge and ordered a Domino. It turned up yesterday with Axminster's usual excellent next day delivery. I managed to make some time to have a play with it last night and it turns out the unit was faulty. With a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach I did the usual...
