O'K Folks, so a big no-no seems to be the answer, thanks for your replies, much appreciated. pete

Hya!, does anyone know if MDF sawdust can be used in with garden compost? T.I.A. pete

Thanks marcros, that's what I thought, looks like they will make a cold frame, pete

Been given 3 lengths of timber sleepers, looks like oak, size 110cm x 22cm x12cm, not sure yet what to do with them, thinking of making plant troughs out of 2 of them and cutting up the other to make a few bowls. What are the chances of being able to cut it into pieces about 22 x 22 x 12, then...

Looks like putting up with my old one until I can make up my mind, have taken in all suggestions, and now going to look up all the designs, I DO know it has to have a means of raising the router by some kind of windy thing, with my present one I use a piece of 2x2 as a lever. Thanks a lot lads, pip

Thanks for your replies folks, this is the one I was looking at, (if the link works, if not it's their number DK2080) it seems to be just what I need, but would like a true report from a genuine user. The Axi one is way above my budget and the other affordable Rutlands tables have sold out...

Thinking of buying a new router table, will have very light use, has anyone tried the Rutlands one at around £150? Has good reviews, but would like comments from reliable users T.I.A. pip

I know that I am rambling on about an insignificant job, but through one thing or another, it's been 2 years or more since I've been able to do any woodwork, except for a few pens, so I am enjoying this effort. The t & g arrived today, (I was having 40 winks), I had ordered 8 lengths at 1.5 m...

Got my paint, got my hinges, got my cross pieces cut to length, rippin 'em down to thickness A.M. t&g being delivered sometime tomorrow. Wickes didn't have my size in stock (so had to try a local branch of MKM) but they did have the paint, advertised on line at £5, but still priced on shelf at...

heimlaga, the steel would be too much weight for the carcase, but thanks for the idea! B.T.W. there's nothing wrong with your English thetyreman, thanks for your reply, have found I can get t & g from Wickes for just over £20, maybe not the best, but should out last me pete

Hi folks, have to replace door to outside cleaning gear storage shed, what material do you suggest? door is approx. 6ft x 2ft T.I.A. pete

Back again folks! fitted a collet extension which sorted the plunge situation, but couldn't get the springs out, so using a length of timber to lever the router to the height and locking body in place, practised a few runs yesterday using 2 cuts to get final depth, worked o'k, just need to find...

Sorry folks, owing to numerous visitors and Hospital appointment will be Tuesday before I can answer, C.U.L8R pete

That's exactly how I'd planned to proceed, "Any Doubt, I'm Out" (my new motto) pete

Eric, thanks for your reply, had a short play this a.m. removing the plastic collars didn't make any difference, the plunge bars have threaded ends and are secured to the base plate by screwing in and then locked in position by allen screws, it looks like they have to be unscrewed to remove the...
