Haha, to be fair you’ll need a crane! What sort of bench do you have?

In all fairness I was worried about it racking but it’s just so solid, I can sit on it and it doesn’t move for anyone. 😳😳😳😳😳

Haha add a few zeros on the end. 😃😃😃

I got three quotes and I’m in the south east. 2k, 1.6k and 1.3k. I’m just a bit dumb struck with what electricians ask these days, how much do other people have to work to generate 2k in a weekend? Obvs there’s material costs but I was quoted for very little and no new armoured cable……

It is great, parf table holes too which is great as I have a a few accessories to help clamp down pieces. Honestly really chuffed!

Well it’s here! But it needs moving now! 145kg! Still need to find a way to make room at the top of workshop to spin this around! Thanks everyone!

I’ve called Axminster and it was worth £550 back in 2008. So looking forward to it arriving on the weekend. I’ll take a picture of it and show you guys yeah I will defo start get the top level and sanded, it sounds silly but I’m really excited as I’ve been waiting years for one! 😃😃😃

Hey everyone, thanks I’m having it delivered on the weekend. It kind of looks like this one from Axminster, needs a sanding I think! But after speaking to customer service they said it’s like this one: It looks similar to Axminster's current version at £699. I think it’s a lot heavier than...

Well, I think I’ve been waiting for a beech bench to come up so it’s been purchased, it’s going to be delivered though as I don’t have a van.

I think it’s a lot smaller? It says it can take 113kg in terms of weight on the bench?

Think it weighs about 100kg and it’s all beech. Hard to find that much material for the price to be fair..

Hi all, Has anyone got a Veritas bench plane low Jack or DX60 with PMV 11 blade that they will be willing to sell? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

If the beech is steamed is that a good thing?

So in essence- they’re about the same and would move as much as one another? It boils down to availability and price.
