Greetings all.

I'm a bit new to this woodworking caper and think in the nearish future I may try my hand at making a box. My big question though, is what would be the best style/technique for a...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback. I had been looking at Sturdee's plans and think I will have a go at making one. Although I still need to decide whether to still spring for the shop vac for the...

A long winded story for a short question....

I recently suggested to my family that a shop vac might be a nice birthday present, something to connect to handheld tools. I am now the proud owner of...

Wow. Thanks Soatoz. That's a huge amount of useful information.

I get the feeling from your post that you sell this sort of stuff yourself. Is that correct? I might be betraying my newbie-ness...

Thanks for the feedback folks.
I think I'll start saving my $$ - I need to do this even for a cheap set, and might go ask some questions in the non-japanese forums to learn about other chisels too....

As a woodworking newbie, it's time for me to look at investing in some chisels. There is something about Japanese chisels that really appeals to me, but I'm not sure what. Maybe it's just because...

Thanks for the responses, and BobL you're right, my final question should have read "what type of finishing sander". I can't see myself having much use for a belt sander at the moment and I have...

Here comes another newbie question (or several actually)...

What's the difference between an orbital sander and a random orbital? Presumably, the random orbital has a different sort of movement,...

I'm, sorry if I sounded too defensive, hurt, or critical. I'm not hurt or offended and wasn't trying to be critical and I did over generalise. I re-read my post and can see it sounded a bit more...

Am I dumb because I bought Bosch circular saw at Bunnings who are evil.

Am I dumb because I may well by a GMC sander at Bunnings knowing that it won't get a lot of use and I know what I'm getting...

Went and spent my Father's day voucher on a Bosch 7 1/4 circular saw. Makita, DeWalt and others were getting too expensive for me, but I decided I didn't want to go for the really cheap ones. Looked...

So, I think I will bite the bullet and get a circular saw.

When I looked at finances again I don't quite have the cash for the Ryobi SCMS or the larger GMC, so I'd be stuck with a small GMC or...

Thanks for all the quick responses. Stuffed if I can make up my mind though. I started thinking that if I buy cheap stuff I can get a circ saw, a router, a sander and more.

On the other hand I...

Hi folks. Very much a newbie here with what might be a dumb question.

My lovely daughter gave me a Bunnings voucher for Dad's day and along with a bit of cash I had tucked aside I thought I could...
