    Database for tools

    Hi all, I need to get a hold of a piece of software to list my tools and gear. It's for two reasons really, one is for insurance purposes so I can list the tools and cost. The second is so I don't keep on duplicating purchases, it's happened a few times now and I'm getting fed up of giving...

    New Yankee Workshop saw insert

    It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I would put these up to let everyone see them. I've always promised myself I would make a copy of the saw insert I saw on NYW and finally I got round to it. It's a bit rough and ready but overall I'm pleased with it.

    Sorby texture tool verus the Taylor elf

    Hi all, a daft question for you, I've just had a birthday and am now the proud possessor of a Sorby texture and spiraling tool. But I have some spare cash left and have the opportunity to buy a Taylor elf for a reasonable amount. The question is does the elf do anything that the Sorby tool...

    A heads up

    Just to let anyone in the Newcastle area know that when I went looking for Newcastle Hardwoods Ltd it appears as if it is no longer in operation. Also if anyone was contemplating going to Quay Timber, I wouldn't bother. When I went in and asked about hardwood offcuts I didn't even get the...

    Hi I've just seen the Scheppach Tiger 200 on sale for £110 at Screwfix. Can anybody tell me what they are like in use. How do they compare with the tormek etc. Or does anybody have any thoughts on these. I don't want to go throwing away over a hundred quid on rubbish. All the best Drew

    Excuse the moaning, but I have a Late Christmas present coming to me eventually from our good friends at RUTLANDS.

    Trend Airmaster

    I just bit the bullet and bought one of these from powertool direct. I ordered it on Tuesday night and it came Thursday morning, which I think is great service.
