Stepping back to the process itself, I continued with the same technique that I used for the first test sign. The Torque Workcentre played a huge part in the construction. Without it, I would have gone a completely different (and much simpler) result. There is no doubt that the direction I have gone here is [...]

I have been finding working on this site incredibly slow recently, and it seems to also be very slow loading as well. It might have something to do with WordPress fighting against the largest Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack in its history. WordPress claim that it is been fully mitigated, but I am still [...]

The original Torque Workcentre saw mount had one mounting position for crosscutting, and a second on the end for ripping. This worked well for crosscutting, but meant there was quite a cantilever for ripping, especially with a big saw attached. It also meant you had to remove and reattach the mount each time you wanted [...]

Woodpeckers have recently been releasing tools called “One Time Tools”, being a limited edition one-off production run (well kind-of..they are being used to release something of curious appeal, or to test the market on a new development. This means that downtrack some may get repeated, but once the initial run is sold, there is no [...]

It was a while ago that I was asked if I could make some traffic signs for my daughter’s Kindergarten, as they were planning on painting their trike track to be a road. The road got delayed, so I didn’t feel too guilty that the signs were delayed as well. This year the story is [...]

Ever since rearranging the shed (from memory, to fit in the Torque Workcentre, so it has been for quite a while now – year or more?) I have not had a home for my benchtop power tools. I was out in the shed for a quick hour cleanup this afternoon and had one of those [...]

The other thing we were introduced to was the WSE oscillating blades. Festool don’t make an oscillating saw (sadly), but for some reason have decided to market WSE blades as part of their range. I say for some reason – a number were given, but it seems strange to me for a company such as [...]

Saw the new CXS Driver as well – it is a small(er) one in the Festool family, and when seen alongside some of the others, it is a bit of a baby. Drill Family One very obvious part of this is the battery being contained within the grip, rather than under it. CXS It is [...]

This is the AGP 125, in the Protool range, as seen at the Festool Media event. Never really felt any real interest in working with concrete/tile etc, or owning a tool capable of doing so….until now that is. This tool has two setups – a shrouding for cutting, and a second for grinding/smoothing. Both lend [...]

With all the changes around the shed, particularly those impacting on the Torque Workcentre, I need to replace the workcentre top which has become rather used (and seeing as it is user-supplied MDF, no big deal making a replacement). It is good timing then, that Torque Workcentres have come up with a new system for [...]
