The Coffee Shop / Its arrived

« on: June 14, 2010, 10:26:36 pm »

My new saw arrived yesterday afternoon, I unpacked it, took about an hour by the time all the carton was cut down to a managable size, it was fully assemble apart from adjustable legs, today I made a stand for it and have screwed it to the top, it is a very smooth saw to use, I cut some animal families out of 27ml. thick MDF and it powered through it no trouble, the lifting top arm will also be very useful, the only thing I have found is it has no dust port, have put something on to take some of the dust away but it will need something better, will post some pics when I get time

The Coffee Shop / Names

« on: June 07, 2010, 03:08:34 am »

Most of us use a user name, any reason and where did you get yours from.
I use Jimbo because there's so many people named Jim [my name] my birth name is James but I have always been called Jim, My daughter Susan used called me Jimbo some times when she was a teenager, and thats why I use it.
Where did yours come from???
