  1. Another funny one for ya.
  2. Like the jig. Very nifty. Cleft shingles will last longer than sawn so it is a better job. But slow to make.
  3. Biscuits or loose tongues depending on application. Festool domino is ace if you have big pockets. You can buy a bit fir biscuiting for your router which you can also use to fit loose tongues. The only problem with cheap biscuit joiners is keeping them square in the setup. Cam be a pita. If you have a router and want to do it on the cheap then I would use that. Or buy a mid range jointer.
  4. I know a guy near Reading that has a good supply. He said he can cut me whatever I need to order. Long Way from you though. Will Pm you his email.
  5. Augers remove wood quicker. Forstner bit can have a larger diameter and leave a neater hole with a flat bottom. You can't get the length in a Forstner bit like an auger. Both fit in regular drills and both have there places for different jobs. If cleaning out a mortice in green oak i would opt for an auger as there easier to sharpen ,drill deeper and pull on nicely. If making a rebate for a tea light or similar i would use a Forstner for a flat bottom. Others opinions may vary. Its personal preference really.
  6. Top work matey. Where about was that then.
  7. Thanks. Very nice. Love the story behind you getting it too.
  8. Lovely machine. Can we get a few more pics of it please.
  9. I can remember where I've been so luckily I don't need to bother.
  10. Yes exactly. I've had it before and reckon it's out of order. If they have accepted a price it's none of there business how you divvy up the proceeds. I just made it up .
  11. Mill it on site . Much cheaper
  12. Just less than two years ago I bought a 05 ranger super cab for 4k. It was owned by a celeb chef and un worked with 88ķ on clock. It's a great truck and capable of what you need it for. I reckon you should be able to find an 05/6 for the money you have and that would be my choice. Find a clean one though and be prepared to replace the clutch.
  13. I would say £400.its a lovely hard to find slab. Coffee tables are £250 in oak furniture land(pardon my french). its all about finding the right market. if it was a plain oak slab I'd agree with Steve.
  14. Got a book that I think has plans In, will try to remember and look later . Pretty easy though really if you know how to pitch a standard roof. If not then plans won't help much unless you're used to working to them.
  15. If I charged £150 a day like you. Here's how it would split it. £50 for the company towards tools, insurance ,pricing of jobs etc. £60 for me and £40 fir the helper. This is paper round money. Not skilled labour money. Primary reason for business is to make money.
  16. If you have someone coming to saw them, hopefully they will have the experience of how to get the best yield. What sort mill are they bringing?
  17. Why did the baker have brown hands? Because he needed a poo!
  18. Good video. Love my dewalt.
  19. I had a hitachi. Was great but starting missing too many nails so I bought the dewalt gas less gun. Brilliant tool. Reliable solid easy to use . And the best thing is you dontt need gas so no wasted money , no weather issues and no unnecessary landfill.
  20. ive tried to buy a copy but amazon says they cant ship it to me. Any ideas steves. nice book by the way, well done
  21. Copper nails holding the slates on will not get the rain running over them. They won't work the same as copper nails poked in ridge joint.
  22. Just bolt them to a bit of 8x2 or something.
  23. Does the acid really work? What sort of acid will you use? Thanks
  24. That meant to say wouldn't.
  25. I would say it's a scam. Just probably Chinese or something doing a bit of importing. Just go and have a look.
