    Stopping smoking

    Well I did give it up and never even missed it after about 3 months. I even survived an all inclusive week in Tobago without smoking - not bad when you consider I was drinking my first beer at 10am on the beach. I have had the odd relapse at a bbq here and a party there but in total didn't...

    Which Mitre? Makita ls1214f or metabo kgs305 or dewalt dw718

    hello I used to have a 708 and although it had plenty of grunt, was not acurate for precision work. That saw got stolen and I was reluctant to go back to Dewalt. After many reviews I found that the Hitachi with the digital readout was the best but unfortunatly only available in USA. I...

    I used to have a DW718 and found it not to be that accurate.

    Kitchen worktop cut-out

    Looks like like a realy nice jig saw, and I would own one if I wasn't such a snob :lol: To be honest - I just buy Festool and don't look around for anything else - looks like that is to the cost of my wallet! Look forward to shooting the breeze some more on another topic. Thanks
