I installed a twin tanked softening system when we built our house nearly 15 years ago as we’re on our own well and the water is very hard. For drinking water, in the kitchen I also installed an under sink 5 stage RO filtration system. This feeds the filtered side of the 3 way sink tap and the...

Years since I posted here but lately started getting daily summary emails! Same with me JC, I have a VPN for the bbc iplayer which works great but Amazon knows as soon as I connect the VPN for prime. It’s a pity, will probably let my prime membership go now once it expires.

Looking good BB, I'm enjoying this thread. Neil

:evil: :evil: :evil: #irelandshouldbethere but as we're not, I really hope you guys do it. Neil

Congrats on the new arrival. Neil

Hi BB, I have a pair of the 'Tools For Working Wood" ones. They're class. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, they lock the work down rock solid. Then it just a tap on the back to release them. On a side note, Joel (owner) is a really nice guy. I rang in my order at the time and spent ages...

Very nice review BB. Veritas is my weakness but this provides plenty of food for thought in these tight times. Neil

Sorry to buck the trend here but I don't agree. Taking the same safety measures for both procedures there's no problem. Router bits can make quite the mess too. I have the Delta stack that came with my Unisaw and love it, never had a problem. It's all about planning what your doing, don't...

Yeah happy Paddy's day to all, just got in there with 14 minutes to spare. Neil

My only advice on wetroom showers is to make sure you tank it. I built our house around three years ago and didn't tank the wetroom the first time. No matter how well you grout the tiles you will get hairline cracks which will cause leaks. Luckily the other side of one of the shower walls was an...

Okay, I had to have a think before deciding about how to reply to this one but here goes. My secret santa PMed me on the 9th of January with the following message. This was my reply on the same date. I got no reply to the above reply so I followed it up with the following message 2 weeks...

My own weakness is Veritas, love the bevel ups. Neil

Thanks again for the kind comments everyone but to be honest I can't take the credit for the design (I'm not that brainy). Something similar was featured in American Woodworker Issue 138 which was published in Oct/Nov 2008. Having used it for well over a year I wouldn't change a thing with it...

Hi guys, thanks for the kind comments. It's a simple enough setup really. The distance between the slats is slightly more than the thickness of the shelves. All you do then is route (or in my case dado) a groove very slightly more than the thickness of the slat in the back underside of the...

Hi, here's mine. I just make a new shelf any time I add a new tool which clips in. It's positioned above my bench. Regards, Neil

Best wishes Tom from this side of the pond. Keep the chin up and as everyone else said hope things take a turn for the better now. Neil

Have given up all hope of receiving mine, hope I'm wrong. Still it won't put me off taking part next year. Hope my recipient enjoys playing with his when he gets home in the next week or so (big clue to who you are). Neil.

Same for me DaveL, I'm still eagerly awaiting my package. Neil

Unfortunately mine didn't arrive. Hope my recipient enjoys opening theirs tomorrow. Happy Christmas to all. Neil

Nothing here yet :cry: , hoping it'll arrive tomorrow. Neil
