What a ridiculous argument! I get it if you are working as a chippy etc but most of the folks on here are hobbyists and do this stuff in their spare time. The cost of the tools required to build this (or any project) is virtually irrelevant. I didn’t buy my circular saw to make this project and...

I made my own router table about 12 years ago and used MDF for the top. I used 2 18mm sheets glued together and braced it underneath with a couple of 4x2s. I had intended to apply some sort of laminate to the top but never got around to it. The MDF is still fine and the table is plenty flat...

Thank you Ian. It's more a case of location, the kids are at school about 35 minutes away and all of their sporting fixtures and social lives are up there too. We spend so much time and money running a taxi service that we eventually concluded that it would be beneficial to move into town for a...

By kind permission of @Noel I have been granted permission to post this here. After much deliberation we have decided that we need to move house. When we bought this place 5 years ago we thought it was our forever home as it ticked virtually every box on our wishlist. The time we've had here...

Hi Sam, Apologies for the late reply. Yes, they are yours. I'll send details via PM. Thanks.

(y) It's all good mate, I'd much rather someone here be making use of it than just have it sat around the workshop gathering dust.

Ahh, that's interesting. Shoot! That means it's working fine and I've sold it too cheaply :LOL: .

Yes mate, still available and it's yours. I'll send details in reply to your PM.

These were used briefly in a temporary set-up and have sat on my shelf gathering dust for the last few years. They are high quality Walther brand. 3 qty plugs, 2 qty wall sockets - £25 delivered to UK mainland.

I've had this for about 10 years, I bought it new, and it's had very little use. It's always worked fine for me but I recently loaned it to a friend and he said it tripped his electrics when he fired it. I've tried it a few times since and it's been fine for me. I'm trying to be completely...

Yep, it sounds like the motor armature has worn out. It's not a difficult job to repair it yourself but, like many here have said, I'd send it to Festool and let them handle it. Their repair costs are reasonable and you know the job has been done right. I seem to remember they even put a...

As others here have said HP printers were great 20-25 years ago. I installed hundreds of them and customers loved them but it's a different story now. I've had a Brother all-in-one for the past 8 years and it has been great but if it died tomorrow I'm not sure what I'd replace it with. I heard...

Absolutely, they're yours, thank you. I'll pack them up, weigh them and let you know the total price. If you could just drop me a PM please and I'll send you my payment details.

It's too cold to be out clearing the workshop so I thought I'd start indoors with some books. Prices exclude postage which will be at cost and obviously multiple purchases will be combined into a single package. All books are in "very good" to "as new" condition. Payment by Paypal (F&F) or bank...

Hi folks, In preparation for an upcoming house move I’ll be posting quite a bit of workshop gear over the next few weeks. I’m starting with my collection of Fine Homebuilding magazines. There are 18 of them and they are packed with great content that is still very relevant despite them being...

I too am really sad to see the demise of Quercus. I'm a relatively recent subscriber and found it to have a refreshing perspective. I've reached an age where I'm no longer interested in the latest Router review or a "back to basics" make a planter from a pallet article, so Quercus really...

I really sympathise with you and I hope you manage to recover some, or all, of your property. I certainly wouldn't advocate using physical violence as mentioned by @Spectric (a moderator!!) as that is likely to end in you being in more trouble than the burglars. I also agree with much of what...

I have 30 years experience of network installation and management and couldn't have put that any better, I completely agree with everything @--Tom-- said :) . All I would add is that Unifi kit is great but the configuration may be overwhelming (I don't mean that to sound patronising but I don't...
