I know there's lots of Les Paul fans here. Sad news but he had a long innings. Neil http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/14/arts/ ... ml?_r=1&hp

A team of stars. Can't believe it. Went to the last kick of the game. I'm off out to celebrate, see ya in a week. Neil

1. Tormek 1200 sharpening station complete with standard straight jig, wheel truing jig, wheel grading stone and a Tormek shop apron. I had planned to put this up for sale for quite some time but never got around to it. Hopefully I didn't miss the boat as Blister sold two recently. It's in...

What a player. Nothing more needs to be said. Neil

I just came across this website. There seems to be 240 episodes online there, so that must be most of them. I just watched the first couple of minutes of one program to see if it worked. When you press play on an episode a window appears in Chinese, click that and the episode starts playing in a...

The iPhone 3G. Sorry if it's come up already as I'm just back from holidays. I resisted the first time around but with the addition of 3G, GPS & the App store I just had to have one. What an amazing bit of kit, it hasn't been out of my hands since I got it. So if you got one what do you think...

For quite a while I been meaning to build a workbench. When I seen the Holtzapffel Workbench in Woodworking Magazine I decided to go for it. It's quite a simple design but easily covers my needs and hopefully more that I haven't acquired yet. It's made from ash. I started with the top. I made...

Hi all, As some here might remember I've just built a new house. We moved in in July last year but the list of jobs ahead me me seems endless. The next thing SWMBO wants done is the utility. I agreed as long as I could make a couple of side tables for a couple of beautiful lamps we got as a...

Quite a while ago some of you may remember me looking for advice on my kitchen build here. Also advice on spraying was looked for here. Based on the good advice received we ended up with something completely different as first planned. Also the spraying went great, very happy with the outcome...

I just completed the carcasses for the kitchen in the new house. I still have to do the face frames, doors etc.. though. Anyway I though I'd give the guy that sprayed a couple of bits for me before a ring tonight to line him up for a couple of weeks time. To my horror he said he doesn't do it...

With full extension side mount drawer slides you leave an inch between the drawer width and the drawer opening for the slides. Could anyone tell me what measurement this is for the Blum under mount slides? Cheers, Neil.

When I was sheeting one of the walls in the workshop I decided to run a bit of Quel-PEX in the wall to the back storage area hoping to put the compressor out there. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any fittings to convert from plumbing 1/2 inch to compressor fittings. Has anyone done...

Not too sure if there's interest in yet another workshop build thread but here goes anyway. I'm building it as part of my new house build so progress is slow enough. All my free time at the moment is devoted to this project, I haven't been in my present workshop in months. I was thinking the...

Anyone know a cheaper source for these 160mm blast gates. I got quoted STG£35 from the Belfast branch, seems a bit much. Or is there another type that people can recommend that will suit 160mm soil pipe (don't really fancy making them myself). Neil

Hi, As some may know I'm building a new house at the moment (serious stress) and as the timber frame is nearly complete its getting to the stage where I need to start putting some thought into the kitchen design. This is the general idea at the moment for the layout. The different units are as...

While planning a piece of wood 5" wide I decided to check how level the cutterhead on my DW733 is. There is a difference in thickness of .1mm from side to side. It is uniform from front to back. I actually think its my own fault as I once over tightened on the depth stop :oops: .Has anyone tried...

I finally got mine last week. I ordered it from the NYW and got it delivered to my brother-in-law in LA. It was the best price I could find anywhere. He brought it home to me last week. I'm very happy with it, but haven't decided whether to use the friction pad and tape measure. I'll probally...

Just a quick one to everyone in the competition. Best of luck to all, I'm looking forward to studying them all and deciding who to vote for. The standard is very very high, looking at everyones work is my favorite part of the forum. I hope to enter the next one if I meet the qualifications. Neil

Okay the price I got for the Scheppach TS4010 from McQuillan Tools in Dublin was €3295 over the phone. I was told this was for all options including the sliding carriage. I'm not famillar with what else comes with the TS4010. Okay now on to the full cost of the import. While going to the...

What do you guys do with brad nails that don't fire the whole way home. While toe-nailing shelves this evening I've had a few that didn't quite make it. From previous experience they're to light to punch but not quite long enough to pull. The nails I was using were 30mm 18G ones. Any ideas. Neil.
