    Customs declarations and brexit

    First import from the EU

    You don't pay vat on personal items. I brought some stuff into Ireland from UK. But it was useful to have this in writing before I went as customs on arrival did want to charge me as no one knew. The rules. Pulled out the email, then no problem

    More Parkside rubbish! This time, a cordless chainsaw that's actually an Einhell

    Both are dangerous. There is an instant brake on the electric ones, it stops quickly. But when cutting it will do as much damage to you as a petrol one. Remember both need chain oil. I have both, for bigger trees I prefer the petrol but the electric is nicer to use. Less noise and vibration.

    First import from the EU

    Uk has left the EU. You will pay duty and VAT if duty is due. I bought something from Australia cost me duty, vat and clearance. You will not get any Greek vat back. Uk is now a third world country as regards EU. Its a nightmare.

    Table Saws - Best on a budget?

    How to change career to woodworking

Easier to park cheaper insurance and put it in a rented garage every night so don't have to worry about tools being stolen. Over past two...

    Small woodworking combination machine

    Have a lot of the toys like track saw etc. No planer thicknesses or bandsaw. Was toying with the idea of picking up a second hand Emco Star or Kity K5. My father has an Emco. Space is very tight. Don't want it for big stuff. I know the Emco but do not know how it compares to the Kity K5. I have...
