Hi Dario, Looks class! I make drums too, (different type though) love the jig you have there! I would recommend trying titebond original (dries harder and IMO sounds a wee bit better). I've an idea that you might be able to use instead of the ratchet straps, to glue it up (probably only worth...

Is Peter Berry doing a woodcarving stall/display again this year? I thought his stuff, was easily the best there, last year.

Mike, good luck with the search, check craigslist and gumtree, local papers, loot also, sometimes, where you live can be an advantage, as other people are too far away to collect, and as a result, are reluctant to bid. Check also generic terms like pillar drill variations like bench drill, or...

i got one of these, theyre solid as a rock, and unless youre a superman (like me :wink: ) you might need a hand to carry it...i highly recommend them...smoothest drills ive ever seen/used http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fobco-Star-1- ... 3cbe265045

Lovely looking saw you have there, did you repaint it?

if you fancy taking a chance...I just seen a fobco drill going for £30 on ebay, its rusty and can probably be cleaned up quite easily with wd40 and some fine wire wool or 400 grit wet and dry paper (take 1/2 an hour) and then put a new motor in it....but it woul be a brilliant drill...i have...

hi John, forgot to mention, i replied to your pm

Hi John, thanks! its much better than the clarke saw i had been using (it was too friggin loud and the plywood used to splinter quite a bit...though it served its purpose for as long as i needed it to). took a while to get a photo of the plate on the motor i could read the motor is a dual...

Matt, i got a clarke table saw a few years ago...it worked but not a brilliantly accurate or quiet tool, so i recently upgraded to a startrite saw from ebay (ironically it cost less than the clarke saw). I would recommend looking on ebay, you could get lucky with an old startrite, or record...

Cheers Paul, is it the medium green?

thanks a million James!

I recently got a wee startrite table saw on ebay and want to restore it, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0445698564 it doesnt really need too much apart from a bit of a clean up and a fresh coat of paint. I was wondering if anyone knows of any paint that would match it? Apologies...

I really like the starrett blades

I've a wee startrite 301 too, handy enough machine
