The items linked here are probably the lowest available price, but due to the quantity of data I've been digging through I cannot do exhaustive searches on everything so this is not currently certain.

Please note that articles with * are items Adam has and can eventually long-term loan to the space.


Where possible, tools are emphasised over materials. The idea is to increase the range of our abilities, via either new avenues or extending capabilities of current equipment.

David has been contacted for advice about resin equipment and what we should look for as a basic loadout; he's offered to drop in one day to discuss it. He's also suggested a casting workshop at some point this year.

Item Description Rationale / Notes Price URL
Planer / Thicknesser Woodworking machine for turning rough stock into joinable uniform planks With a supply of pallets, this will provide us with as much lumber as we need for most purposes. £123.45 http://google.com
Table vice Flush vice for planing and general heavy duty holding We currently have but one vice, which can cause queues, especially as it's right next to the power tool bench. This particular model has a dog too, allowing large sheets to be clamped horizontally using the bench itself. £53.99 https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/52pd-175mm-wood-workers-vice/
Bench vice Mountable vice and small anvil for metalwork & friends For holding workpieces for on-table operations. This model also has a small anvil plate for light whacking tasks. [* smaller version] £28.79 https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-100mm-bench-vice-cvr100b/
Angle gauge / inclinometer Calipers for angles. Dead handy for attaching to saw blades or tables (eg drill press, sander, bandsaw) to make sure that it actually really IS 90 / 45 degrees, not just 'roughly'. Much time and hair is saved. £16.59 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tacklife-Protractor-Portable-Pocket-Size-Inclinometer/dp/B072KGHZY9/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1516207657&sr=8-4&keywords=digital+angle+gauge
Depth gauge Calipers for depth. For making sure that the table saw or router really IS set for exactly X mm. Calipers with depth gauges aren't ideal for this as both the body and needle are too narrow; a gauge rides the highest points of the router bit / saw blade and spans the recess it emerges from. £16.99 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Trimmer-Router-Digital-Measuring-40141500/dp/B0713TZRP6/ref=sr_1_3?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1516207783&sr=1-3&keywords=digital+depth+gauge
