Hi everyone. Just a chatty AWITW this week as I navigate the slump post-Makers Central, discover that things aren’t always rosy and instagram-alike in the fitted furniture world, and realise that what I was doing a decade ago was pretty much bang on the money - there’s a lot to be said for keeping the overhead low. Also as Mental Health Awareness week draws to a close, there's a lot to be said for chat groups and forums where you can express yourself freely.
All that plus a bit of housekeeping and some chatter about saws and routers. ‘Cos I could use another router, right? 🤷♂️
Thanks as always for being part of all this, and I’ll catch you mid-week for some Triton Doweller chat.

I gave up building surveying over 25 years ago due to the unreasonable requests of clients who wanted a Rolls Royce job but were only prepared to spend second hand mini money. I just got sick of it. Retrained to a driving instructor and it was a breath of fresh air. Own boss etc etc. Great until theory tests were introduced and the bill payer did not want their child stationary going through theory. Then wondered why they were not passing the theory and HPT. You can rarely win with the public. They are soo demanding but have no concept of the efforts that going into trying to achieve their dreams. It's bullying. Now I work 2 days a week…
I want want want that router.
Hi Peter
Could you expand on the ‘UK sourced’ issue that you mentioned please? I’ve been getting some Festool stuff from FFX and other places that sometimes have very good offers.
It would be great to know …. What is the warranty issue and how do I check - for the ones that I already have and for any future purchases?
Lovely to meet on Saturday.
