Chris doesn't make that one, but sells it on behalf of Sutherland Tools in the USA, as they perfectly complement his bevel gauges. $50 from his website Vesper Tools

Hi Stu.
Mate, does Cris make that sliding bevel angle gauge I see there?
He was at a lie neilsen show here in WA a month or so ago yet I didn’t see the “angle setting gauge” thing.

Hi Aaron,
Sorry about that, I certainly remember the question from earlier, and therefore was sure I had replied, but just looked now and I can’t find any record of that anywhere. Sorry.

I have no doubt the Deputy will work perfectly well with the Festool Mini. I have used it with other vacs (small and large) and it has worked without issue. A big benefit for you will be the significant increase in collection capacity – adding 10-15l to your current 7.5l!

The Mini has nearly the same specs as my CT36 – 3700 vs 3900l/min airflow, same max power consumption, same vacuum. The mini has a smaller filter, so collecting as much in a preseparator will only help that.

It will be a good combination!

Cheers
Stu

Hi Stu, I have tried to contact u through this blog before, so here I go again.
Mate just wanting some advice; would the smallest festoon vacuum – the mini – be suitable with the “deputy”?? I am a part timer yet do some large projects
Thanks for your blog and support,

Comment on Router bit of-the-month (December) by David Gorr

Great review stu – i am just about to start a project making all the doors and draw fronts (for a kitchen renovation) out of pine, to match the existing cabinets. I started researching what router bits i would use and decided on the carbitool TPDS. Then I discovered this article on your web site and having watched the video and read this article I am blown away! I figure you have reduced my learning curve by 90%. Also thanks for the sled stuff – great work

Stuart,
An example of what I mean (link below). I made an internal door following this chaps methodology. Considering I am not a carpenter and a rough wood machinist it turned out quite good.

Stuart,
I was beginning to wonder when you would be considering this line of thought. It is spiffing stuff when someone else is stumping up the cost of presentation and using their own time to achieve it but there does come a time when consideration of this cost needs to be addressed.
I believe people will move away when donations are asked for, however your book/PDF idea is definitely worth pursuing. I am currently looking at making sash windows (old style) and have found plans in books and on the internet but how to begin and finish them in an illustrated way is difficult to find. Personally I would pay a nominal fee for ‘How To’ articles of interest to me. Thoughts and comments from other Stu’s Shed followers would be useful.
Regards

Hi Stu,
Silky Oak is my favorite wood and you have done a nice job on the plate but I have never seen Silky Oak with that grain. Pardon me if I am wrong.

Yeah, unfortunately there isn’t anything I can do about that. The site is hosted by WordPress, which is American, and thus so is their spell checker.

I’ll have a look to see if there is a setting to adjust, but I suspect we will continue to have to accept a wiggly red line under many of our words, as there is only “one version of English”, and it apparently is not the version originating from England!

Phew!!
Stuart, for a moment there I thought you were going to say you were looking to wind things up. Glad I did the usual and read all your words of wisdom and humour. One little niggle though. the spell checker on your ‘Leave a Reply’ is American English and not English-English. Or was this to keep us on our grammar/spelling toes?
