    Sleepers

    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...

    Router Table

    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

    Router Table

    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...

    Router Table

    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

    Shed door

    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...

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...

    Router Table

    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...

    Router Table

    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...

    Router Table

    Thanks for your reply glynster, looks like I've got an invitation to play! removing springs seems a good idea, won't need them if router is left in table, in fact will make it easier to adjust height. If all fails I've got a little Bosch to use free hand, not as precise but we'll see

    Router Table

    About ten years ago I bought a Power Plus router, today I tried to fit it into a Wolfcraft Router table, all seemed o'k but can't get the router bit to poke through the hole in the table. At the bottom of the plunge bars are black plastic collars to limit the plunge, will it be o'k to remove...

    Anyone here with a pacemaker/defibrilllator ICD

    Rob, Good advice from Kalimna. If you go to Vietnam, make sure that at least TWO of your companions understand what the ICD is and what to do if you get a "Kick". Good luck, pete

    Anyone here with a pacemaker/defibrilllator ICD

    Hi Roger, I too used to play with r/c, but was told that the transmitter would interfere with the implant, as the tx packs quite a punch,whether this was someone covering their back or not I don't know, but the people who told me were the monitoring team, so I decided to chicken out and sold all...

    Anyone here with a pacemaker/defibrilllator ICD

    Yup! had a defib fitted three & half years ago, you should have been given a 'phone number to use for info about this, I called in with a couple of queries and was given sound advice, (they love to answer your questions). Since mine was fitted, I've used all my machines without any problems...
