Cutting list

First Cutting list of the year! Even though this looks like a messy list, this makes lots of sense to me. Never start cutting material until you know what you need to cut. Or indeed think about resolving an issue later it will come back to bite. This is for a bathroom vanity unit in Brighton, Sussex.cutting list

Edinburgh College of Art

Whilst running a test on search terms related to my website I came across this Edinburgh College of art

I remember filling out the form  and thinking that it was information for a database. I was really pleased when I saw it as a profile.

To think I graduated 13 years ago, it seems like yesterday that I left.

Hopefully Les Mitchell will host another reunion in the future for all us craftsman and women.

I’ve even done some work on fellow students homes down here on the South Coast.

New Tools

My strategy this year is to update most of my tooling. I have opted for Festool They are certainly not the cheapest but I a firm beliver in, you get what you pay for. Having been so impressed with the Domino cutter my next purchase will be the Plungesaw. This tool is going to be really useful in the workshop and site for cutting mitresd edges and cutting in scribe panels. The beaty of the Festool system is that all the boxes link together to make transportation and storage very simple. Also the extraction systems link into the storage boxes. Festool pride themselves on their dust extraction capabilities, and if the plunge saw is as effective as the Domino interms of extraction it will make my day in the work shop far more enjoyable. Take a look at the links to see for yourself the festool range I highlt reccomend
