Good ole Murphy's law strikes again
Ok last week I bought myself my first router which was a 1600 watt ryobi, yesterday I had posted some pictures on facebook of my workbench project. Well this arvo I was around at my mother and stepfathers house having a beer with them and I got asked have you bought a router my reply yes I have, my stepfather pipes up and says I have one here you could have used you only had to ask my reply to that was last time I asked to borrow a circular saw you handed me a blunt old handsaw (and I still have that handsaw) so I hadn't asked since. Any way he pulls out this 1200 watt black and decker router (KW900E) he bought it new around 10 years ago to show me and he hadn't even used then he turned around and said it is yours you can have it so I was not going to say no to that as he had been clearing out stuff he no longer wants (incidentally he also gave me a wood lathe he bought new 20 years ago and he hasn't used that either) as my mum and step dad are getting ready to move into a retirement village and had been offering stuff to all of the family but they all turned down the wood working stuff except the compound mitre saw. So I will be cherishing this one so now I have two routers the ryobi can have the 1/2" collet in there permanently and the black and decker I was given is a 1/4" so works out well.
