You have to be mad to own a boat, however, wooden boats lead to true madness I am reliably informed. I am eagerly awaiting the final photos of the current project, so please don't get side tracked yet Impressive bit of man kit by the way. Rog

First prize for a great thread derail goes to Kris and MM. It never even got airborne FFS. and the wooden spoon goes to Martin as usual. It would appear none is required.

I think faffer is a fan of "proper job" power tools. I bet he's got a large heavy duty Wolf drill with a big chuck and a bar sticking out each side.

We have just had a lot of work done at home, stove, bathroom and kitchen, and the one thing that struck me was how good and correct tools for the job made the fitters jobs such a lot quicker, easier and of a better quality.

when I had a gas fire installed a few years ago the experienced fitter arrived with a battery driven drill to make a 20mm through 250mm of engineering brickwork. Not surprisingly his tool failed (no laughing please) before he was even half-way through and he had to borrow my heavy duty 240v drill to finish the job.

I have a battery driven drill..its not a lot of use to drill through masonry and when u hit a metal bar it snaps the drill bits.. Tried to put up sign for house..... I needed a real mans heavy duty drill...cept they are tad heavy.

A sign for the house?
Did you mean a for sale sign? estate agents usually look for a vertical item and cable tie the sign to it.
Cable ties are great specially the really big one.

I am eagerly awaiting the final photos of the current project, so please don't get side tracked yet Impressive bit of man kit by the way. Rog I am plenty loony enough to get a wooden boat, not yet though, i am sure you know i like a challenge with the way Faffer was when i got it. Cant say for sure if i will.....or wont get a wooden boat, would love one but got a lot of things for the near future to do. I have been doing this and that but nowt to shout about on the current Faffer project. I will be making a stand for it this weekend and order some ally for a cross cut/Mitre fence. faffer - a few more photos would help us understand the intrickasees of your new toy. You mention what you want to see and i will see what i can do, so you seem to like pics then, better than words hey, you comment on pics a lot Plenty of pics are good on a forum than a discription as some folk dont have a clue what things are. I don't think a gadget as complicated as that is something I need....but it does look very interesting so I would like to see updates... thank you Hi Patty, not complicated at all, just shove wood through and hey ho you then have two bits lol, in a fashion. It will be updated in the blog as not much interets here for this bit of kit. Well unless it was found in a hedge as i see fol seem to like to talk about hedges nowadays on here for some weird reason. I think faffer is a fan of "proper job" power tools. I bet he's got a large heavy duty Wolf drill with a big chuck and a bar sticking out each side. Only got it to cut the risers for the cooker lol, but then i thought about making a step and what ever next, strakes for the dinghy aswell as other wooden bits n bobs for them when i knock a few out The drill, i have a large SDS Makita with T bar chuck aswell, i like Makita when I had a gas fire installed a few years ago the experienced fitter arrived with a battery driven drill to make a 20mm through 250mm of engineering brickwork. Not surprisingly his tool failed (no laughing please) before he was even half-way through and he had to borrow my heavy duty 240v drill to finish the job. I have a battery driven drill..its not a lot of use to drill through masonry and when u hit a metal bar it snaps the drill bits.. Tried to put up sign for house.....
