Then I'd need a heli-pad to go with it...and a copter to go with the heli-pad. Could get expensive.

Hmmm. Maybe I'll just leave it in my neighbour's boat as an anonymous gift.

Just keep it. Good opening line. "I wouldn't touch you with this".

A new benchtop band saw that arrived earlier this week:

A welcome addition to the mancave that will save me having to saw stuff like canoe paddles by hand:

Not sure about the supplied plastic push stick, seen here with its cousin that came with the planer/thicknesser:

Might have to make a couple from offcuts of ash or beech at some stage once I get the bandsaw set up and make sure the table and fence are square.

And this arrived this morning which should put paid to dodgy auto wiring connections:

Coincidentally I dragged my little bandsaw out and got it running today. 6yo wants to learn to use it

I made all my push sticks out of reclaimed oak flooring. Lasted a fair few years so far.

Is the k40 a mag mount or a hard mount? Be interested if it’s the latter!

It's mag mounted but I also have a hard mount jobbie in a box somewhere, brand new and unused

I was actually correct the first time as it was past midnight so it was Sunday.

Today traveling about 700km to get my next Fronius Tps2700.
Very rare CrNi version which is especially programmed for stainless.
Will give it a try later.

Ah you moved it to top of the tailstock. I quite liked the idea of the storage space. I might move my lidl caliper to the side and put a little storage tray.

With the scale on the side it was fouling the toolpost so I moved it to the top. I am contemplating making a small tray for the side but will have to make sure it won't get in the road of anything.

The mini air orbital polisher arrived, seems decent, good weight to it. I have been too lazy to get compressor out and try it yet - too much stuff in the way.
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08HV58JWL/

Edit - its bloody brilliant. Compressor is running 100% but thats fine it wont be getting heavy use, more for polishing than sanding.

Well worth a score.

Should be able to cut down the belts for my 9401 to use

I've got one of those old Makita 1" belt sanders. A brilliant tool, I just split and get 3 belts out of a standard 10" belt.

Gave it a quick test. Definitely beats the black and deckers.
110v to for an added bonus. (I dislike 240 for tools )

Unfortunately the belts are a bit smaller than my belt sander so ordered up a selection to fit.

Mine is 110v also, but the American issue that is spec'd at 60 htz; however, it has worked fine with a UK 110v 50 htz site transformer, as do all my other 110 volt tools I brought over.

No idea how my dad builds these balsa aircraft, he has severe claw hands and arthritis such that he can hardly write. He constantly builds model aircraft and usually just passes them on to local kids. I asked for one to decorate the garage and got a spitfire:

Jlg · May 2, 2021

Onoff · May 2, 2021

Space cleared in the half of the old stable. Truck unloaded and rack built to take the 25x25 box and 25x6 flat.

Just got to find a use for it all now...
