    Festool Domino Sighting Adjustment

    The Festool Domino is probably the best tool I own. It’s insanely expensive but when you’ve got to join to pieces of wood together with a good looking strong joint there’s few better ways. In this article I correct an issue I’ve been having by performing a Domino sighting adjustment.

    Draper Hand Powered Shredder Tear Down

    We bought this shredder a few years ago now and although it’s broken it’s done all right considering we only paid a few pounds for it. It seems at least Amazon still sell this item but I don’t remember paying that much for it. As shredders go it’s not really up to much, it’s a…

    A while back I bought a second hand Jet JPT-260 planner thicknesser from Aximinster. I didn’t get much chance to use the machine for a while after I’d bought it but recently I’ve been putting it to good use squaring up some oak stock for a log store cabinet for the living room. Unfortunately four boards…
