I tidied the garage at the weekend and collected together all the saws I have had for years or brought over from my dads and put them in the dump pile. Cant remember last time I bought a saw (bar a nice Japanese flush cut saw and a Bahco dove tail saw which I am keeping) must be 15 years ago. They are all rusty and blunt. Time for three new saws which should replace the lot. Probably will buy Bahco ones.

Bit late now but my ordinary dewalt 14V managed TIMco InDex screws up to 300mm and the 7mm x 200mm pilot holes through the first timber. Your new shiney will eat the job.
Fun! I had a crappy Ostblock lathe back in the 90s. I did a few table-legs & such but the thing was so rough that I never went beyond that.
I keep meaning to mount my record vice on the end of the bench, but it'd be a squeeze getting big stuff in and out of the workshop door.Nice vices though, have you put hardwood jaws on it ?
Acquired a used but pretty much as new Record 52E quick release woodworking vice - to replace the awful Chinese thing I have fixed to my work bench. I've been staggered to find out how much the Record vices cost new nowadays.
New toys!J
