    Domino or Jessem's creation.....

    Yes, the black adjustable square flips. I CNC machined it on my Nomad. It is overkill for most uses, and simply making a 90/45, and other angles as needed would probably be a lot less work than it took to make. I like a challenge :) I went with fixed shims as my main use is for small pieces...

    Domino or Jessem's creation.....

    I own nearly everything Jessem makes, love the quality of their stuff. I also own Festool Domino. I'm sort of on the fence about this one. The Domino is fast, so anyone in the production shop will want the Domino. So, the Jessem is for hobbyists, but there are many alternative techniques if...

    Festool track saw with scoring blade

    I've cut lots and lots of Egger MFC. Yes, you can do the pull-back trick. Or the Mafell has a setting to do a shallow cut, offset the blade slightly, and then make the full-depth cut. Both work, but a one-pass solution would be a time saver. And, any two-pass method, even with a clamped track...

    Harrogate woodworking show

    I'm going Friday. Yes, will be sad that Peter and WWW won't be there as I always spend a small fortune on their stand. At least Classic Hand tools are there, so won't come home empty-handed. And I can drool over the Laguna bandsaws and wish I had a workshop I could fit one in one day!

    Timber suppliers, PAR Walnut

    I've had Walnut from British Hardwoods. A quick check on current pricing seems very similar to what you have been quoted elsewhere.

    Rubio vs varnish (but which brand)...

    I've tried Rubio in the past, but the lack of clarity about whats in the product somewhat put me off. It's not like the other manufacturers' chemists won't know éxactly what it is, just us hobbyists! The company has a large 'social media' presence and 'ambassadors', but this doesn't shed much...

    shop bought fancy furniture, how do they justify the price?

    Your not just paying for a bedside table. You are paying for Matthew Hilton to make a living from designing furniture, for De La Espada to pay someone to make the actual item, for marketing and website staff to promote the product, and for distributors and independent retailers to all make a...

    Electric vehicles

    What if instead of being put forward as a solution to global warming it was put forward as making the air we breathe cleaner and our cities nicer places? We locked down and paid people to sit at home for months to a year to save lives from COVID. How many lives could be saved due to respiratory...

    Electric vehicles

    Disclaimer: I have a Tesla. However, I feel like EVs are like getting rid of incandescent lights... there'll be lots of anguish but what does come in a few years will make us wonder why we were treated like mugs by the car companies for so many years.

    Just use the blade guard!

    A lot in the US seem to like the low slung push sticks or Grrrpr blocks to push the material down and forward. I found my best investment was the JessEm clear cut guides that keep the stock pushed down and toward the fence, then I can just use a birds beak type long sticks to push the material...

    parf mk2 faff

    I use the TSO rail square (picture here with the rail for repeatable length cuts). The good thing is you can keep the same reference edge/face for the top and bottom cut (whereas with an MFT you have to flip the piece). I know reference face/edge tends to go out of the window with...

    MDF radius moldings

    I'm wanting to make some MDF veneered cabinets with a 2"radius corner. Does anyone know of a UK or EU supplier of rounded MDF corners as pictured in the attached image? I tried a kerf bending approach but I wasn't happy with the result. -Simon
