that did make me smile, better than the liverpool st station one :-)

hehe possibly, there are exceptions to every rule :-) the way the banking system is going at the moment, wont be long before we are back to cash anyway. create money from nothing, then charge you interest on it, wish i had thought of it !!

Ebay owns Paypal I have only ever had one problem with something i purchased on ebay, if i hadnt used paypal at that time, i would have lost my money. buying something online, i do prefer to use either a credit card or paypal, simply because it adds protection to you money. And _ALWAYS_ make...

pm sent (for saw only big soft moose :-) )

When you say shutdown, do you mean 1 - internet explorer or firefox says page is not available 2 - you get an error from windows says that the connection has been lost This could be a low disk space error. try running disk clean up ( Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools ) Its worth...

yup :-(

one of the rules here, work doesnt exist without pictures :-)

Hi, The knob on top controls the tension, turn it which ever way makes the top pulley go down. the knob on the back ( behind top pulley ) controls the pitch of the top pulley, this is to align the blade in the center of the pulley. once blade is in, spin it by hand, adjust this knob until the...

Morning, I have one, and as said above i wish i had bought a bigger one :-) saying that though, once i had bought some new blades, it is quite capable. When cutting anything over above an inch or so thick, you need to feed in slowly otherwise blade gets stuck, but it does do it. max i have...

I have the macallister one (currently £120), which does the job quite well. i had to adjust almost everything to get it to cut straight after taking it out the box, but once i did, it was excellent.

me too. i got a "that would look nice in..." from the SWIMBO any objections to copying it ? (edit: well try to :) )

Just remembered i forgot to add the cirlce jig made from 4 or 5 mm plywood. i took to bottom of the router, drew round it and marked the screw holes. measured length for center screw from work piece. then cut it out on the bandsaw. router is a ryobi (this one)

i hope so, i have it indoors now, currently using as a laptop table :-) For the next one i will, my free hand was a bit too free i think :-)

i'll make up a proper jig next time, as you suggest. The square i made is approx 1.5" and seems about right size. what are yours? What do i coat them with so that there safe for kids ? i.e. there likely to get teeth marks :-)

yup, i think it may have been a combination of the hot weather and rain. as it was in the garage and it does get hot in there, and with the rain it would have been very humid. That might explain why it looks square once the legs are slotted together, i'll take it apart and check Well the next...

yup, the full size one will use the t-slots in the bottom of the top (pic) to attach to screws in the legs, works very well. the small one above has 4 drops of glue on the top end of each leg.

hi all, i wanted to see what my design would look like with the legs as they were in the orginal drawing. so made a minature one. parts after being waxed the finished table :-) ( its approx 4" high ) so, as i will need to redo the full size one, i think i'll do it like this one, as i think...

decided to use the t-slot cutter to put holes/slots in underside of top and put screws into tops of legs. disaster ! its curled up at the ends the legs didnt fare well either :-( i put it together any way, it does pull it a bit straighter, but its still bowed. theres no glue holding it...

Hi all, while i had some spare time today, i thought i would have a quick go at a Dice (or should that be Die) start off with a blank square. made a quick jig from some scrap wood used a 9mm drill bit, just pressing the angled end of the drill bit into the wood after drilling a bit of...

hi, what about Dice? as discussed here Instead of plugs for the numbers, use a small indentation from a drill in the press and paint it black. lots of sanding to get it smooth. i remember visiting my brothers school (lingfield hospital school) and woodwork was used to inspire the students...
