Thread: the "Eazy-Way"

Looks like a good system, like a ultimate Triton...

Hi Niki,

Interesting, but I think I'll stay with my T/S, B/S, Router Table, jointer, thicknesser - and hand planes & good chisels

Yes, I also think so, although I don’t have planer/thicknesser or B/S.

As you said, its just interesting idea but maybe it will give some idea to the amateur beginner that can make something like that.

BTW don’t be homesick, living here already 2 years, the winter is not such a pleasure, 3~4 months of frozen country.

That’s what I see from my balcony

Ahh! I'd rather like to see some snow and ice again I think! But then again, coming back to Oxford railway station from work in London at around 9:00pm each day, in the winter when it's a tad cold, and having to try and heat up the car keys with a cigarette lighter to get it through the ice in the car's door locks, in a howling gale... Hmphh! maybe not

As to the "easy-way" - yep, it might be an introduction, but I fear that it would also put a lot of folk off from doing WW. However, for a home handyman/woman just looking to do some basic carpentry, than I guess it might have a place.

BTW Niki: which part of Poland are you in?

Cheers!

Now you can understand me saying that the car must be in the garage, you leave it outside for more than an hour and you can not open the doors.
But after 20 min. with the hear dryer its OK.

I live 60~70 Km south of Warsaw, today its ONLY –10* but at night –20*c

Cheers

We would need thermal thongs (the feet variety)

We complain, bitterly (well, I do!) when it gets down to 8 or 9C here in Melbourne - and just as bitterly when it's 40+

As to keeping the car in the garage - yes, I can understand that. Unfortunately British Rail (as it was then) didn't have external power points for hair dryers Come to that, I'm not sure that they had internal power for their trains either - Autumn always used to catch them by surprise "the 7:45 from Bumhampstead has been cancelled due to leaves on the line" type of thing...

Where I grew up (mostly) in Jersey, the locals would peer at the sky in some sort of puzzlement if that strange white powdery stuff fell out of it. In Denmark, where I also spent a lot of my childhood, it was a good excuse to get the toboggans out

Well, I think that people are all the same, including me, when its too hot, we complain and when its too cold, we also complain.

Now days, they have some kind of spray that you spray on the door seals so they will not stick to the frame.

Because of my work I’ve been many times in London and as I remember they don’t have so much snow, but ones it falls, London Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton were not prepared.
All this “snow removal and de-icing” equipment costs a lot of money and many cities prefer to have a “mess” for 2~3 days a year instead of buying and maintaining it.
Countries like Denmark have “full time job” for this equipment.

But, you know, its good, you always have something to look forward, kind of “I wish the summer will come already”, that’s what I wish now.

What would make someone live somewhere with extreme temps like that. Wouldn't it be nice to live somewhere that walk outside day or night with short and t-shirt on, bare feet to match? Most places in Australia you can do that for some/most/all of the year depending on where you are.

Back on topic, that unit is about 475 local bananas, how does that compare with triton, and is it as well made????
NOte with the saw, no riving knife or blade guard.

You are so correct Just George

I lived most of my life in such a country (Israel) and many times I was asking my self “what they lost hear”, in this frozen place.

But now that I’m retired, money is also a subject.
When the food costs about $100 per month and the electricity, gas, water and municipal taxes all together are around $100, (at the winter $200) a lot of money remains free to buy tools etc.

Hi Iain

You are correct
I would not use the circular saw feature without riving knife or guard (I used it long time ago, got 2 good kickbacks and no more) and they say that they were reworded for the safety of this table, its very interesting because the EU safety laws does not permit to install even dado blade on a table saw.
I have no idea about Triton but I bleave that its better than that one.
