Hi All,

I've scored myself (as my first wooden handplane), a Ward and Payne jointer plane. I'm don't believe it is original, I think it may have been fiddled with quite considerably. It has a...

Hi,

If you have a router/modem and are running ADSL, you may have a firewall in the modem that can be activated. I have one in mine (Zyxel 660H) and it works just fine.

Have you looked at credit cards? I pay my card off every month, get points, pay no interest, pay no fees and also get 55 days free credit. Wow, sounds like American Express but wait no, its a...

Hi Ian,

Many thanks for the details, unfortunately SWMBO realised that there was something else that was happening that day :( hence my absence. Some days you just shouldn't get out of bed!

Lucky you, the pergola is my shed! :(

A virile young man obviously, with 68 balls :eek:. I make do with just a pair, so far it is 1 for 1 :D

Who is Gilchrist? ;) and should I care?

Hi Fesmac,

Was watching "Tools, Tips and Techniques" on Fox the other night and they mentioned this exact problem. One solution was to make a jig, just a flat sheet of ply, the right width with a...

Just tell them to cut the crap and threaten to use somewhere the lighting stays on or install a bidet so you can go hands free.:eek:

Hmmm! Possibly the sprinklers could go off at the great flash of light generated. This would certainly save you washing your hands :D

Make sure you can at least wash your hands after all that "doing it by feel" bizzo. :D:D:D:eek:

Hi Dazzler,

Know the feeling well. That looks a really great unit. The only trouble is this requires another room that is lockable from the little one :eek: I actually ended up buying a treasure...

Hi,

I just had a similar problem with my drill (Ryobi 12V). Found the batteries were going to cost around $50.00 each for new ones so I settled on a new drill instead. The price of drills has...

And who did physics at Uni? BTW being new at this, how does one give a greenie? The only ones I know of are produced by my 2 year old on the end of her finger :D

Well I must admit to being tempted with the car one, I'll have to find some ply or something to shove underneath it before I lower a half ton of pressure onto it.:eek: I think this may likely be...

Hi Greg,

I'll give that method a punt later today. Many thanks for the prompt reply.

Hi Folks,

I am attempting to glue a 12mm ply to an 18mm MDF sheet, both 900 x 600. I am wondering what is the best way to clamp these together to ensure I get even pressure over the complete join....

Hi Harry,

Yes, I pinched a design from the Popular Woodworking site. They did quite a nice one where the router table is hinged to a workmate type bench. I have got some of the woodhaven aluminium...

Hi,

The patio bolt is what has been used in my system. I'll try to take a couple of photos later tonight. I have a Landrover Discovery with a drawer system in the back and get very little noise,...

Dang, this means I'll have to listen to you next time ;)

I actually wandered up and down at Bunnies, borrowing an M8, a 1/4", an M6 etc. from the metal screw rack and going over to the tool shop...

Yep, I've done that with my workbench. Called them up and the next thing a new one arrives on the doorstep. Didn't even have to take it in. :cool:

We'll see how I go building the router table for...

Now theres a thought. Lateral thinking always wins through, given my vast experience with routing (I think I spelt that right?) and the amount of money that I spent on myself over the Xmas/New Year...

Hi Folks,

I've just installed a new version of the Opera Browser version 8.5 and don't seem to be able to log in to the forums.

Has anybody else had a similar issue? I've trawled through the...

Hi Folks,

The screw size is an M6. Bunnies doesn't have the countersunk ones so it is off to the fastener mob tomorrow

Thanks Harry,

I'll take it off to Universal Fasteners on Friday and check them. Sorry for the Gumby like response above :) Must have been a bad day :(

Regards

I had the thought that there may be a few people on this forum who actually use this model and may already know.

The forums I use generally tend to be for asking a question of your peers. You may...

Many thanks folks,

Hi Folks,

Does anybody know the screw sizes in the base plate for the GMC 1200W router? I've not had much success in the manual or with GMC. Yes, I did reach them but they didn't know.

Any...
