    RP Sabre 250; anyone have one

    yes, of course I would love to have the next size up, friends have the 350 and it is superb but having it in the workshop would mean losing something else useful such as the drum sander / mitre saw etc… so it is a compromise, but most of what I do doesn’t need any bigger

    Garden cabin with oak subfloor perimeter on concrete pilings

    5m x 5m = 25m2 it is c. 16.5ft x 16.5ft or 272.25 ft2 reasonably large - my workshop is an old garage at 3m x 5m so this is about a 1.5 / 2 car garage size

    RP Sabre 250; anyone have one

    I have it - I do occasionally move it from the workbench to sit on a B&D Workmate outside if doing lots of work with it. Used it recently to go through wood from a felled tree and as long as it fitted within the capacity of the throat it handled the wood... I use it with Tuffsaw blades, but for...

    Business to business dealings

    It would be easier as a private person, but if purchased as described then it is a B2B sale which does have different rights: https://www.devonsomersettradingstandards.gov.uk/business/consumer-rights/business-to-business-contracts/ you can't change a sale to B2C to take advantage of better...

    Business to business dealings

    makes sense - but you are defined as a business by whether you make transactions with a business purpose in mind... you mention you purchased from a work account - so presumably that is an account through which you put transactions that are carried out with the aim of making money / running a...

    What is the safest way to plank a small log?

    I would have thought that a chainsaw would be too rough and too big a kerf - you will find it hard to do precision cutting of that nature with it... A table saw sounds risky A band saw would be my instinctive thought - can you find someone with a bigger capacity bandsaw? 15cm is not huge for a...

    Withdrawn Fox F22 568 Planer Thicknesser

    I think it is a requirement on here to provide photos... You might also want to give a rough but better location than your location of London as different parts of London make quite a difference as to whether someone feels that you are close enough to collect from...

    Business to business dealings

    yes any transaction made with the intent of being a business deal makes you a business, there is no UK legal requirement to first declare yourself as a business… eg a tool bought for personal use, not used, but then sold = not business the same tool bought by the same person but with the goal...

    Where to buy 8 x 3 inch wood 5.4 meters in length

    I use Robbins in Bristol - not sure if they have exactly what you want - but they are very helpful so it is worth asking them... https://www.robbins.co.uk/ I though tend to collect as I can get that length on my roofrack with ease... I can see that delivery would be more challenging...

    Really like that esp the dowels (?) of a contrasting colour

    It was worth her being patient - what a lovely desk.

    Something new

    Some random thoughts: handmade crafts struggle to sell for a price appropriate to the time taken - this is partly because people compare the cost against products made abroad where the hourly rate is so much lower. the consumer finds it difficult to understand value / quality / etc. in a...

    What might this be? ... I do know, but do you?

    I know what it is - though I suspect it might now be illegal to use, and I prefer to listen to Vaughan Williams anyway ;)

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    because the knife blade is so sharp? makes sense...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Seems a logical way to do it - but would you not end up with a gap the width of the blade / kerf? the top piece would need to be cut one side of the dividing line / the bottom piece the other side of that line - so you couldn't cut both together...

    Post a photo of the last thing you turned

    Very beautiful - not entirely sure whether it is Padauk but certainly very similar… this is a Padauk bowl - no sap wood and finer stripes…

    As always, superb!

    Labelling system

    I use one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09SB3C6YL/ they do have a slight disadvantage of not sticking on some surfaces, but seem fine on most... bluetooth from mobile to send it files... otherwise, blue decorator tape and a sharpie!
