Well, I've made a decision, I'm going to follow Mailee's advice, so,I'm going for the Dakota,15" version, but unfortunately, they are out of stock at the moment, and won't be available until the end of April, but I've put the order in anyway. This will give me time to collect some wood for the...

Mailee, =D> Brilliant, just the advice I was searching for, you're a gent. The website shows the jig out of stock at the moment, so I think I'll give them a ring for some delivery information etc. Many thanks , have a nice day Regards Baz =D>

Well I must admit, after reading about this jig, it certainly looks, and after the recommendation, seems to be the way to go. I did look on the website, and found another one that 'looks' good, it's the DKL35 for £87.95 + extra for the cutter, roughly the same price as the one you are both...

Thank you for that Chems. Sorry the thread's in the wrong area, still finding my way around. Advice and experience is always good . =D> Regards Baz

Hi all, Looking to buy my first ' Dovetailer ' jig. Has anyone out there got any advice please as to what I need to start with. Please, not too expensive. :lol:

Hello Wizer, I think you'll find Colin has been doing a lot decorating and remodeling in his house,among other things, like work etc. As far as all out woodwork is concerned, I think he's having a rest from it for a while, but I reckon he'll be back again. Baz

Thanks to all for your input, really appreciated. It seems like Axminster may be the way to go, so I think I'll give them a chance. Baz

Many thanks for that Mark, it did sort of cross my mind when I couldn't get through, oh well, back to the drawing board then eh. Baz

Just broken my 1st bandsaw blade, a Dragon, so have been trying to get in touch with them to get some more, but can't seem to get through " sorry, number has not been recognized" , does anyone have the new number, or are they now out of business. If this is the case, can anyone advise on good...

To say I'm as proud as Punch Col, is an understatement. For a Dad to see his Son making something like that is a real "choking" moment. Well done Col. Dad

Hiya Chems, Have you thought of taking it to vehicle engine restorer. They quite often have to 'skim' a cylinder head, so why not a plane. Just a thought. Baz

Hiya Johnny, From a new 'turner' I would love to get to this standard, the sooner the better. To me, the vase looks brilliant. I shan't go into the pro's and cons because I'm not qualified to do so, but from what I can see, the turning,the finishing,the effort behind it etc, looks great...

Hiya Col, Sorry to hear about your saw, but maybe the best thing eh, to send it back I mean. If you need to use a saw meanwhile, then just come down, no problems. Got my planer today, not the worlds best by far, but good enough for what I'll be using it for. See ya Baz

Hiya Waka, Well done. I've been a Mac user for about 4 years now, and just couldn't go back to a PC now. My Mac at the moment is the 20" iMac, absolutely brilliant. If I get any man-made problems, I call a man I know who sorts it for me. Have fun Baz

Hiya DD, nice looking machine, and read the report, unfortunately though, too expensive for me, and the size looks as though it'll be too large. I was thinking more on the lines of a benchtop unit. Thanks for the info though, much appreciated. Baz

I'm going to do some segment turning, and understand I have to get some really straight and level surfaces, but, I need to get a planer. The ones I've seen, that are fairly affordable are 6" versions. If my workpieces are 8" or more, is it ok to run the piece through, and then reverse it to...

Co-ordination RogerS, it soon becomes natural, and then the boredom sets in. Baz

Hello Howard, if you were just a bit closer to me, I'd do it for you, I'm a qualified heavy plant driver, including all types of digger. I'll give you just a few short tips. In front of you will be two levers, one for the boom operation, and one for the bucket operation, you'll soon found out...

As BB has said, we went to the show today, a bit disappointed about the lack of turning tools, but was worth every minute there just to see the look on Byron's face when he had bought his new saw, a mixture of excitement and pleasure. This I can understand 'cos it really is a nice looking saw...

Must admit, as a new turner, and using a bandsaw for about the first time, I followed Byron's advice and used Dragon's blades,and all I can say is Brilliant. I shall of course be staying with Dragon as I can't see any reason to change if I'm totally satisfied eh.
