Woooaah, I am really impressed, this is a nice porch you are making. Beats the PVC square, granny looking you see everywhere. Well done.

List updated with tables of: woodshavings, breezey, bobgoldson & woodbutcher That SIP 10" will very soon be the top used table at the rate I add to that table count :!: Top 3 manufacturers used Scheppach = 31 Kity = 22 Elektra Beckum = 14

I have updated the list (ho what a list now) with the saws of: spadge, mambo, martlewis, innesm, Les Sayers, The Welsh Workshop, nhough, Kirky, Dad, Fizzy, Corset, Con Owen, Saintsman, LyNx

I think it would be nice to track all this information in a table: The tool > Really manufactured by > Reliability/longevity > Performance (is it powerful enough for the job and does it do the job well). Difficult to track but with someone as knowledgeable as Scrit on our side we would get...

:idea: brilliant :idea:

Cerbie, I have had the same problem here in Ireland. The tools are a lot more expensive than in the UK. It's all about demand I guess. Anyway, don't despair, I can only advise you to keep looking. Over time I have found that there are many places to buy from, however finding them is the...

Very nice job, makes my workshop units look a little... trashy! :oops: Excuse my ignorance but is "tempered hardboard" MDF?

It's very nice. With regards the hinges, I like them and they are okay but it seems to me they should be that little closer to the edges (really a little!). But the main critic would be the handles are too small in comparison. If you are using big hinges you must match with big handles. My...

Very nice. Well done.

As always, top quality from Jason :D

Senior, you are my new idol. You are an inspiration and you are really increasing my current frustration as I don't have time for woodworking between bottle feeding the baby!!! Please don't forget your camera anymore I want to see it all :lol:

=D> Superb. It's beautiful. I really enjoyed looking at your WIP pictures. I loved the dovetails, some job you did there! Makes me want to get some hand tools :wink: :wink: hehe

This looks fantastic already. I can't wait to see it with a coat of danish oil to bring the wood out :wink:

Wanlock Dod and Niki bring up and important point I should have made also. I use centimeters in woodworking and not millimeters like the "pros" appear to do even when dealing with long distances or large furnitures. It's easy, the figures are not large and adding, subtracting, dividing and...

Lynx, could you kindly point to it. I can't find it :oops:

Wise words here, I think. I didn't face this but am now hitting a wall with imperials since I moved to Ireland.

Another class birdshouse. I like the new roof in red, it suits really well. When will you stop :wink: You must have accommodation for the entire population of birds in your state.

You can't adapt to it, you were raised with imperial, that's it. Don't blame the metrics for it. As many tried to say you visualise with what you were thought first. My parents still speak in Old French francs for currency! This is 2 currency ago!!!! (New francs then Euro). They just can't...

Mr Spanton, France does only use miLLimeters (metrics). If you heard "pouces", it's only the translation for inches. Colin, now I can say I heard someone raised with metrics say they prefer imperial. I don't get though 8-[

It seems from reading everyone's post that's the preference is actually the first scale you were brought up with. I have not heard anyone brought up with metrics say they prefer using imperial. I can't think it possible personaly. I was brought up in metrics and cannot understand how can anyone...
