I haven't been on this forum for quite some but found myself with half an hour to spare so thought I'd have a quick catch up. All was pretty much as ever until I came accross the pallet table thread. I was quite taken aback by the level of ridicule that piece attracted. I don't care if it was...

Self righteous snob.

Have a look at magnum motorhomes website, they are probably the biggest supplier of parts for self builds.

Picture?

Swanson speed square, everything you need, permanently etched onto heavy duty aluminium.

I would say either your saw is designed to take a 10" blade and not a 12" or that blade is bigger than 12". If, on start up, the machine is tripping everything its not going to help changing the trip on the lighting circuit, it must be tripping the main rcd. Don't know much about your model of...

Drill the holes into the timber while it is still square, then cut the end to the angle you rquire. The offcut can then be used as a guide to drill into the stonework.

That thing with the red handle looks suspiciously like e de-burring tool.

Building control, nhbc and zurich all require end joints on chipboard flooring to be supported when joists are at 600 centres. That is for 18 and 22mm boards. This does not mean the boards have to land on a joist, H frames are acceptable. At 400 centres 22mm boards do not require supporting.

I don't think willow is even any good as firewood.

Have you tried abrasivesformetals.co.uk ? They will make belts of any size and don't look to be bad prices.

I was in Shandong province 'working' in '96 and '97 and you couldn't go anywhere without being accosted by prostitutes. The hotel staff would even let them into your room while you were out so they could be waiting for you when you got back. Maybe not so bad if they were young, pretty girls...

And almost certainly quicker than mincing about with jigs and routers.

What sort of air nailers are you looking at? Air is the cheap way to go, paslode gas guns and dewalt battery guns are expensive but air is cheap, so long as you already have a compressor.

Have a look at the latest model dewalt cordless nailer, now 2 speed with 5aH batteries. No worries about fuel cells, cleaning etc. Much cheaper to run as you only need to buy nails and not fuel. About 20 boxes of nails without fuel and you have got your money back. Hope this is of interest to...

310866548944 put this item number into e**y and have a look at these. DW745 rs, there are lots of videos on youtube about these and they are mostly glowing reports. Maybe a little more than you were thinking but very portable and as its dewalt and designed for dragging around a building site...
