    Default Powertool racing

    Hi there,
    I didn't know whether to place this with Tools and Machinery, or even Health and Safety, but here it is!
    If you run out of things to make; decide that power tools are too good to spoil by actually using them; or can't decide if you're a woodworker or a rev head, these sites may be of interest. BTW, I haven't actually seen this stuff, but it looks mildly entertaining...

    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    I suppose that it's as meaningful as any car or machine racing.....

    Hi Cliff,
    I can see now that Midge beat me to it, just goes to show I don't get out of the shed enough!
    That is a fascinating thread of misc. websites, thanks.

    Cheers,

    Thumbs up Bit of Fun

    I bet getting insurance could be a bit of a problem. It looks like a bit of a laugh and it appears that they take it serious in the States. I will have to round up some old power tools.

    Regards Mike
