Hi, I am using some West System 105 Resin with 206 Slow hardener. The specs say: Cure to solid state: 9-12 hours Cure to maximum hardness: 5-7 days Does that mean i have to wait 5-7 days before i can scrape / sand it or is it fine once it is in its solid state? Thanks Phil

I was lucky enough to see the thing in the garage when it was just a collection of things in the garage, the workshop, the house, ... and i am very glad that it cuts elms and conifers and all that woody stuff. But what we really want to know is: will it slice James Bond or mother-in-laws? :roll:

i got an older model for free on freecycle a while ago. Quite good for hovering the car and the workshop and good as dust extraction for my sander or router. Only downside is the noise, it drowns out the router but that makes it very effective for chasing the kids out of the workshop!

I've only got a jigsaw, and when your only tool is a guillotine, every problem looks like a French aristocrat. I put Rustins chopping board oil on the bread and Nutella on the chopping board. (

it's an offcut from a beech worktop that i freecycled, i drilled holes with my drillpress and used a jigsaw for the curves and 500g white flour, 500g 9-grains wholemeal flour, 600ml water, 5g salt and 14g dried yeast :D ...
