If you watch some of the earlier series you'll see the workshop is no where near as well equipped as the later series :) IIRC correctly you'd see a lack of nail guns, a much smaller table saw/jointer/thicknesser, no spindle sanders etc etc unfortunately you rarely see those on the box :(

Quick update - gave up on the hunt for a battery/charger/cheap replacment and bought one of these instead - works a treat ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Skil-Energy-Cor ... 374&sr=8-1

If you've tried several bits maybe the chisel is distorted ....

Cheers - just to take it easy lol :)

Do all router table inserts need drilling (to mount your router) or can you get pre drilled versions?

Found a few used on ebay but the cost is higher than a new 12v B&D drill driver - time for some new kit I think Any suggestions for a decent quality machine around the £40 mark? Just for general diy, nothing hard core :)

And £5,000 of wood to practice on :)

Anyone know where I can get a replacement battery/charger for a B&D KC12C drill/driver at a reasonable price!

Should have qualified the "cheap" with "suitable for the purpose" lol :) appreciate the info ....

Planning on a loft bed for my 12 year old as my first real build, based on this :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1HRFbnHUog Which cheap(ish) timber would you suggest - for the stuff I've thrown together in the past the banana pine from B&Q has been fine .... the bed in the video uses Western...

If you need a smith give British Blades a try, lots of skilled metal workers there .... http://www.britishblades.com/forums/content.php

Ty mate :)

Probably a stupid question so go easy on me :) ... Is poplar the same as tulipwood?

It's a shame - much as he may be vilified for the machinery he always came across as a nice bloke, hopefully this will give Sky the kick they need to show more of the programs.

The value of your order doesn't affect service either - my problems with a sub £10 order were sorted out just as well as the earlier reports.
