I recently purchased the DK6683 Chip & Dust Extractor from Rutlands, and it has reduced the sawdust mess in my garage workshop considerably. The only negative aspect - for me - is that it is fitted with a NVR (No Volt Relay) switch, with the familiar red and green buttons and panic 'off' cover...

Just received this saw, and am very pleased with it. As I have limited space, I had to make a half-size rear table from a piece of kitchen bench top, but can now just about squeeze the saw into my part of the garage. Apart from the side table drooping a bit - which doesn't seem to matter much...

I received 12 of these after responding to a special offer from Rutlands, and they made a very untidy pile on my bench. Even if I had an available drawer to put them in, I could see that they would be a pain to store and easily retrieve for use, so I came up with this idea – based on the way...

If you can't afford the real thing, have a look here: http://lumberjocks.com/projects/102008 at a plywood version.

Rutlands had sent me a £5 'Missing You' voucher 'cos I hadn't bought anything for a while, which hadn't tempted me much, but when they sent me an email with this offer: I recalled how I'd thought of buying one of these after seeing Norm use one, but been put off by the price. I had an imminent...

I have no wish to start another acrimonious sharpening method debate, but merely wish to point out that for me - someone who had failed miserably in the past to get anything resembling decent edges - the Worksharp 3000 has enabled me to resurrect some worthless chisels and blades. It did take...

Hi, Just a heads-up that my local Lidl has these wonderful sandpaper holders for sale from Monday 1st April. see: http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-28662 ... ail&id=936 You should check in your local store, as they are excellent - but cheap at £3.99 - tools which make sanding a pleasure! :D...

I purchased a couple of these about a year ago and found them to be excellent tools. They are cheap; they hold paper well, they are extremely comfortable to hold - almost make sanding a pleasure! From the advertising e-mails I get from Lidl, it seems they will be on sale on Monday 2nd April...

Hi, I've received a link: http://www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-do ... ent=header which is for a reduced price offer on the Axcaliber Dovetail Jig. The accompanying video shows the jig being used to produce an excellent joint quickly and easily, but does NOT - of course - mention anything...

Yesterday I had to sand 16 24-inch long strips of 1 inch by 1/4 inch mahogany for a rotating bookshelf I am making, and I used two sandpaper holders that I purchased some time ago from either Lidl or Aldi. They made the task so straightforward that I was prompted to repeat a review - that I...

I posted the following comments in the topic 'Anyone using Turbocad', but it occurred to me later that someone looking for info' on Sketchup would not look in that topic - unless it came up in a search. At the risk of appearing repetitive, therefore, I have put them in again under a more...

Hi, I've been left the task of finishing a rotating bookcase by a good friend who recently died rather suddenly. I have made one previously similar to an earlier version he made: , so I can cope with most of the task. However, just before he died, he showed me a sketch of how he intended...

Just to say Hello to everyone on UKWorkshop, which I discovered when searching for a wood related query - 'stiff' dust extractor tube. I have previously used a similar site, but that has mainly USA members and focus, so it will be nice to see items - such as reviews - on products obtainable...
