Thanks for your thoughts Frederick, what you describe in your edit is about what I have planned.. The curve of the top is not too pronounced so even a flat bottomed channel to inlay into should be...
I'd agree if it weren't for the cross grain crack.. which just looks rather ugly and will never "blend", it stands right out and I think the owner doesn't want to see it!
Not sure Mel.. I mentioned the lid panel thickness at about 7/16", but the rest of the carcass is fairly substantial, about 7/8".. It being a fairly basic piece In this area of the world I would...
I did explain to her that the emphasis would be on preventing further structural damage and dressing it up.. In another reply I just mentioned my location-southern Mexico.. Folks here are used to...
Thanks John, I share the concern that cracks would reopen, or others form, if simply glued up under clamp pressure.. I intended to use butterfly keys to reinforce and stabilise the damaged areas...
Thanks Peter for your reply.. You pretty much echo my own thoughts which helps me to feel a little more confident in my decision. I was aware of the cause of the splits and mentioned that i was...
Thanks Jim, I tend to agree with your way of looking at it, thats why I like the idea of repairs being visible on the inside.. but you know how people can't get past the concept of a fault and I...
Hi Mel, thanks for your thoughts.. It doesn't look like this one was ever covered in that way and I think it may to be too far from what the owner has in mind, which is a finished wood surface.
Good afternoon, been awhile since I've been online and even longer since I visited the forum so hello all. This has always been one of the best places online to get quality advice so I dropped by...
I made mine, as I needed some extra clamps for a panel lay up and couldn't find any suitable locally. It was really not a lot of work, and the jaws are the best part of it so compared with the kits...
I would say you will find a handplane more useful. The electric planes are not great at much else but trimming doors etc and even then you can do it more accurately and leave a better finish with...
Looks very nice. I like the colour too :)
Your extending slides are interesting, would you say that the idea would be smooth and sturdy enough for a small sliding carriage for the TS?
TBH I don't think the answer to your layout will be found in looking at others shops. Its is one of those things that depends totally on your particular space, the tools you have in it and how you...
Beautiful. Your design really works. The banding on the base along with the inward curve of the legs leads me to the center and that natural edge leads me back out and well, it's just a very nice...
I must admit that when I read the OPs story I thought to myself "how'd he manage that?" I often have my whole arm in the planer scooping out shavings (DC in the works and desperately needed) and I...
Yep Van, I think you're right, in fact in most cases the blowers seem to be more expensive than a full on DC.. quesdtion of markets I suppose.. Just seems a waste to buy a big piece of kit and for a...
My thoughts for you and your family at this time.
Thanks Andrew, for some reason i didn't get a notification of your reply, just came across it now.
As I say, this is really more of a standard joinery question, just wondering if folks would risk...
Hello all.. I posted this in the musical instruments forum but no replies so I figure here it should get more views and hopefully responses. It is in essence a question about joinery more than...
Hello all.. was unsure if to post this here or in the genral forum where I guess it would get more exposure, it is in essence a question about joinery but I'll place it here for now and see if anyone...
LOL you're right Ryan, I think I was seeing what I wanted to see, completely missed the zero and decimal point on the SP figures, I was looking at it as 8", not 0.8"..... Definitely not going to work...
Ok, thanks Rod... at least it was a straight answer...
I am looking for options for my DC set up, stand alone units are expensive and as I plan to build a seperator and vent outside it seems mad to pay for all the extra gubbins when what I really need is...
As it happens I am just having a browse around the forum whilst taking a coffee break. In the workshop is a half built tool rest for my stationary belt sander, largely inspired by Dereks' own...
Just reporting back, the final adjustment to the outfeed roller was also troublesome, not within spec at lowest point of adjustment but I just levelled it up both sides.
Seems to be producing too...
