Christmas came and went with such a rush, that I completely forgot to even take some photos of the two boxes I made as presents. These are a few photos of one of those boxes (taken by my old man) of the box given to my Mum. The sides are Tasmanian Oak, from Misan Timbers. [...]

TWC are busy fabricating a new batch of mounts (due in the next week or so) for Triton router owners to be able to fit the Triton router to the TWC, and in the meantime they’ve sent down one of their original prototypes so I can get my Triton router secured properly. So in these [...]

The beige computer case has started to become a thing of the past (who in the world chose that colour anyway!) but has only been getting replaced with black computers.

The Walko Surface Clamps from Ideal Tools have arrived! After having experienced them when assessing the Walko Workbench, I couldn’t wait for them to turn up. The clamps are used anywhere on the surface of your bench, so a grid of 20mm (dog)holes is required, 100mm apart. I went with a minimum of 50mm from [...]

After raising the MDF (sacrificial) tabletop on the Torque Workcentre to the height of the cast iron router table, I was finally at the point that I could consider the best way to attach the Incra LS Positioner which is secure, easily removed and doesn’t consume too much of the TWC working area.

I find that a really good time of year to “Spring Clean” is actually at the start of the year. For those in the Northern Hemisphere it may be even more suitable, with short days, long nights and more inclement weather, but even so, starting a new year with a clean slat seems more inspiring [...]

2010 already. Only seem like it was yesterday that it was 2009. For the past year (from 1 Jan 09) I have been trying an experiment- posting an article of some description every single day. I kind of got there- on a dozen or so occasions, the post was the same calendar day somewhere in [...]
