If it is at all possible, how easy would it be to change a non wireless enabled laptop over to wireless enabled, so that i can access the internet (broadband) from anywhere around the house and in the garden? And if it is possible what parts would i need to do this? Regards Woody

This is a new one to me http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Scheppach-HM2-Kom ... dZViewItem Is it normally for sale over here, or is it a import? I can see it being very handy for someone who is short of space in their workshop. I own a TS2500 which i know is excellent, and i have heard only good things...

I don't know if anyone is intrested but Axminster http://www.axminster.co.uk/recno/29/pro ... 445603.htm has these 2 mitre saw blades on offer for £14.96. As they also come with a case to store them in, i think they could make excellent value. Cheers Woody

Anyone see Norm and his handheld bobbin sander? It looked like is was manufactured by Porter Cable. How long have these been on the market? It looked a bit battered so it has to have been about for some time. I usually try to keep up to date with the power tool market but this one obviously got...

I have about 3 cubic feet of American black walnut in my wood store, and while looking for a suitable piece for a job i have undertaken from SWMBO, i noticed 4 little round holes about the size a dart would make in one length, and 2 in another. I buy my timber in the sawn state and machine it...

A few years ago i fancied getting into scrollsawing and Intarsia as a hobby and so i bought a Record Power "Scroll 26" scrollsaw. The 3 models at the time were the Scroll 16, 20 and 26, the number being the length of the table. One thing led to another and it ended up standing in the corner...

As many of you will know Pete Martin the Deputy Editor of Good Woodworking died on 30 September, and I must say that in this months copy (168) the magazine has paid an excellent tribute to him: "He was the engine-room of the magazine, drove it...

I am looking for around 8 anti-fatigue mats but after searching google i am no nearer to buying any. There are so many different makes and price ranges that i am left with the feeling that the only way to go is to ask for recommendations. So have any of you got this type of matting? If so...

I do not know if it will be of use to any of you, but i have a Clarke CTS10 table saw to give away, which except for the pxp is free of charge. Its the one that Machine Mart sell, or at least it is the older version of the one they now sell. As i am sure you know it is by no means in the same...

Does anyone know where i can get a manual/parts list for a Jet/Axminster JBM-5 mortiser?. I cannot find mine and i have had no luck on either Jets or Axminster website's. I only use it now and again, and when i went to lift it out of the cabinet yesterday it fell on its side and smashed the...

While looking around for a decent Vacuum Press i have been told that you can in fact use a compressor. Has anyone used one in this way? What vacuum press do other members use? I have been on the Bagpress website and their Mini Press seems ok. They do a upgraded bag which is 1250mm x 1250mm...

I am thinking about getting the Veritas Cabinet Scraper and their Jointer/Edger sharpening tool, and i was wondering if any of the members have tried or owned any of them? I have read Alf's excellent review on the scraper, and i am now looking for other views, especially on the jointer/edger...

I have been fitting my sons workshop out with a few things (dust extraction system, alarm etc) before he comes back from the US, and i have now got to the lighting. Any ideas? I have got strip lighting in my own shop but this was installed before i purchased it, so i need some advice on what...

My old compressor has gone to that junk yard in the sky, and so i need to buy a new one. The old one was 8 bar, direct drive, and had a 50 litre tank, but i now want to buy one that has a bit more power and can cope with any tool i connect to it. I want to use it for both woodworking and...
