    Which wood for garden furniture?

    i would use iroko purely for durability, but Oak treated right would be ok. I have recentley been using an Osmo finish, I forget the name of it now but it is very waxy and flexibile. You dont want a finish that will crack or blister and allow water under, otherwise the oak starts to get black...

    gas nail guns

    you need to check out the new senco gun. Doesnt use gas and doesnt need refilling, think it uses a pressurised nitrogen chamber or something. Had a go of one in the shop the other day. Really good. Have a look, cos they are going to take over from gas easily, not much more expensive and nothing...

    Received the saw yesterday from D&M Tools. Axminster, A One tools, and Miles tools and Machinery all out of stock on 110v. First impressions are very good, heavier than the KSP55, but has a lot more features. As to be expected it seems very well made, and very comfortable to handle. I got a 32...

    Mafell P1CC Jigsaw... why so expensive?

    I noticed this, super expensive for a jigsaw. I like my mafell tools but I can't see how a jigsaw can be worth that much, what type of work would someone have to be doing for it to be worth them buying?

    Mafell MT55CC

    Going to get the mafell MT55CC plunge saw tomorrow, after selling my KSP55 because i now need 110v tools. Was torn between this one and the Festool TS55 but i'm going for the mafell because it has more power, you get a 1.6m rail instead of a 1.4m and it also has a couple of extra features that...

We used to have one at my old work, it must of been 25 years old and was still going strong! They look very similar to the new...

    The Fes fetish

    Chems, make sure you keep an eye on that hose. I have had to return two now, because they keep going into an oval shape and losing all their flexability! They go very stiff and do exaclty what you say your other hose was doing. Just because its festool doesn't mean everything is perfect, this...
