What will I need?
First post.
Our house is like one of those off that program on telly where the viewer is encouraged to pity the occupant & vote for them to have their job done properly.
We’ve had that many jobs done badly, we have a fear of trusting anyone & to get even half decent stuff, they’re charging a fortune. Anyway, I want to get it sorted in the minimum time, but well built, stylish top quality stuff. I want to :
- Build shelving units in virtually every room. Nice routed designs like you can’t seam to buy anymore.
- Build decking patio & maybe a pergola.
- Build a kitchen, either buy carcasses, or build from scratch.
Anyway, I gave myself a kick & went out & bought some kit to make me start. The shop owners were the nicest people you could meet & happened to be retiring at the weekend. I’d gone in to look at the Triton 200 Saw bench & Router table. We watched the video last night & it was fantastic. Even my 11yo daughter (unimpressed by most things), was laughing & Wow!ing throughout. They had a bench on dem, but none in stock. They gave me a fantastic deal on the demonstrator (the fact it was ready assembled was worth 50 quid to me). The chap just kept offering fantastic deals. I am now the proud owner of :
Triton 2000 Workcentre
Triton Routing table
A Dewalt ½ Router (something like ½ price)
Training video for Triton
Anyone still awake?
My questions are :
1. Have I lost the plot? I’ve not done woodwork since school apart from a few jobs.
2. Which 9” Table Saw should I buy? Makita 5903R or Hitachi C9U & how much should I pay?
3. Any advice about any part of it very welcome.
Thanks in advance!
