RE: WARNING: Public Wealth Warning

["Dave McLaughlin" <dave@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Steve,

I was looking closely but I knew it would be expensive. I am hoping to have
a go this weekend with the Screwfix one. It is certainly very solidly made
and should work well once I figure out how to use the actual thing.

I blame Norm for getting me into all this woodwork thingy... Before his
programme I only did metal work and the occasional B&Q ready made
shelf.
After a successful radiator cover a few weeks ago I feel much braver to
tackle something bigger.

Have you checked out the website for Norm's show. Very interesting and
loads
of faq type help.

Dave...

You've not been watching closely enough! That dovetail jig Norm uses
these days is a Leigh D4.

330 quid to you, mate!

Went to a woodworky show at the NEC last weekend. There was a Leigh D4
[1] on the stand behind me as a I forked over more money than I could
afford for a Tormek grinder.

Why, oh why, did I have to discover woodworking machinery this year?

[1] whispering "take me, take me", it was.
