Just chipping in on this a little, my Son had one of those come through just over a month or so ago. It appeared to be working back then as initially I thought it was for me as we have the same name. Wasn’t until I was going through the questions that I realised it was for him. This was on...

This would be my first purchase of anything like this (planer thicknesser) My tool range is wide meaning I have the cheapest drill press from Aldi to a festool track saw - its the accuracy that generally narks me with the cheap stuff, that said I've never needed to use any depth stop (which...

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone has used / thoughts on this from Rutlands - apparently on sale at the min. http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+planer-thicknesser-204mm-x-120mm+DK6724 Thanks Wayne.

Cool! I might have another go at these things then (or make some more firewood!) I'm guessing though that if you cut these suckers then the end result is you are leaving both halves embedded in the wood - so don't go near it with a plane !

Hi there Ryan! May I ask how you managed to salvage the wood from the pallets? Sound like a silly question but SWMBO had a similar idea (using pallets) to make some garden planters so typically - came home one night to a stack of pallets and the 'there you go' look in her eye. My problem...

is this a sort of 'dunk dunk dunk...' kinda noise? If it is, I've got it too. I was wondering if was something that needed to 'bed in'. I have been watching this instructional DVD to see if I could hear something similar but the machine noise is edited quieter. Wayne.

This thing reminds me of 'National Treasure' Good film! Anyways - there is a set of 'Resolute Desks' which contains a hidden locking mechanism that opened secret panels ... Mmmm sounds like a plan? Maybe a piece of furniture thats passed down the generations... heck you could even come up with...

Well - Mine arrived today! (ws3000!) Just a few points worth noting... If you ever thought 'freehanding' a plane blade was a good idea (we are talking novice here) - it isn't!! not untill you get your blade on something with a set angle will you realise what a mess up you have made! your arm...

Hi All, Interestingly Morrisons have a 3pack for £5.00 - has 3 sockets and 1 remote (that can do 4 channels / sockets) If you catch them in - they were also selling single sockets with a 4 way controller £3 a pop but - if memory serves - 2 for £2.00 - so you could get 4 singles cheaper than...

I to have been humming and haring about getting one of these for months. With the discount, freebies, the offer code and now your comment, it has pushed me over the edge!!!! ( Even got SWMBO approval - so cant be bad!!) new toy!! Weeee!!!

Hi Tom, If you are playing with spaces and layout you might want to have a look at the Ikea kitchen planner. It's a free download and will let you play with the basic building block shapes. Obviously this isn't for custom cabinets etc but from what I came across in the uk, most cabinet sizes...

Do you mind if I ask which one it is? I haven't got anything like that at the min and have to buy my wood planed all round and would guess there is quite a premium in doing so. Wayne.

:oops: :oops: I was beginning to think I was going loopy! Some new wood type or boarding made from pineapple trees or something! :oops: :oops: Now that I feel really dense! Great WIP by the way, very impressive! Wayne.

Please excuse my ignorance here but I've seen this on a couple of posts, but what are 'pineapples'?? Wayne.

Hi all, Again thanks for all you input here, I think I might need to rethink the end goals a little here. I was kinda thinking along the lines of something like those outside log stores you sometimes see on the outside of cabins. I don't think having a fully enclosed store would go down too...
