Re: WANTED pneumatic underpinner
Imho if you want to produce good joints with hardwood, have a look for a second hand Hoffmann MU2 (I got mine from Hoffmann UK). I'm using mine more and more for tricky prefinished mouldings too, ones which I struggle to get right with a pneumatic underpinner! Underpinners are great when you have le...

Re: hello from Dorset
Hi Sparky, This forum is a good place to advertise. There are also a number of groups on Facebook, always mention that it's a UK ad, as many of the groups are based in the US or worldwide.

Re: Fletcher Mount Cutter £50

If so would you be prepared to pack it, ready for collection by my courier?
Thanks

Re: Glass - cutting, quality, supplier.
We have just had an experiment with this. A friend brought in a piece of 6mm glass for me to cut for him, straight from his cold shed. First cut was hopeless, a few minutes with a hairdryer and it cut perfectly.
