No the house can be excused we only moved in a week ago hence the mess.

that awful background is my house :lol: I do all my best work naked, just ask the wife 8) I have just purchased some more purpleheart and intend to do 2 smaller versions to stand either side. They will have a smaller version of the base the ball and bead from the original centre section...

thanks, i have some more purple heart and intend to make 2 smaller versions. Purchased some spray laquer from chesnut so i might give that a whirl instead of the friction polish followed by carnuba wax as this finish soon diminishes

can you see the image?

Trend do a couple of box sets 1/4 and 1/2 inch which are excellent value for money, i've had both sizes and for the money cannot go wrong approx £35 for a set.

Well, i like it, lovely shape and the lid is nice maybe a mm or 2 higher than the side walls but again personal preferance. I know its temporary but i like the string lol gives it an oriental old school appearance an gives an age to an otherwise new piece. Regards Tony

2000w triton is hard to beat given its price too!!

I have used evo stick contact adhesive on leather to wood, paste both sides evenly, wait till its nearly gone dry then push them together for an excellent bond, needless to say you need to tack cloth first.

Well damn u axminister for your tempting offers, how dare u offer me the bigger 310 bandsaw at a reduced rate now I have to lift it out my boot ! 8)

HUdson dont say that i'd virtually decided, gonna head out axi now and look at both machines, the ts200 tablesaw and the 250n bandsaw see if that decides it

ok i've decided to get the small axi 250n, it reckon it will do the job required and providing i can get the fence square and true should be able to square up stock. table saw next purchase 8)

they are just down the road so im heading off this afternoon, cut capacity concerns me though thats all, also looking at the ryobi and the woodstar st12 woodstar more at 250 but has sliding carriage and bigger blade, any htoughts?

Hii all another which one question, Have 200 bangers to splash on a table saw and would appreciate some advice please, seen this http://www.axminster.co.uk/jet-jet-jts- ... rod208698/ and the ts200 from axi so far, basically need something smallish but it must be able to cut perfectly true as...

so it is!! my eyesight isn't what it was. More i think about more i fancy a table saw i think, going to incorporate it into a bench and share a fence with a router i think
