Welcome to the forum. If I had to do it exactly as you have shown, I'd rip the piece of wood in two, one piece 20mm wide the other 35mm wide and then using a core box router cutter in a router mounted in a table I'd route a semi circular groove in each piece and then stick them back together using ...

I agree.

Except that having a cross member at the top will make it easier to attach the leg to the top.

A quick google will show you plenty of examples - basically a cross member at the top to attach to the bench and second approx 1/3 up. You could attach a sheet of ply to the back, but some diagonal cross braces between the apron and the legs would do the same job.

Welcome to the forum. That is a nice looking bench you have picked up. If it were me, I would make two pairs of H frame legs one larger than the other to accommodate the tail vice. I'd then attach 4 x 2's between them on the lower cross bar of the H to prevent racking and then put a piece of ply on ...

welcome. do a search on here as I am sure that there have been threads in the past with people building their own workshops. my only comment would be that if you haven't got a clue where to start then building a 10 x 16 workshop is quite ambitious. you might be better getting a cheaper shed and upgr...

see my reply to your other (almost) identical thread.

welcome to the forum. if you only have a small table saw then I would strongly suggest not trying to cut sheet plywood on it. either get your supplier to cut it to size - most timber yards offer this service, or if you are going to be doing a lot of work with sheet materials look at buying a plunge ...

nobody can see the image. you can't post images until you have made a couple of posts to prevent too much spam.

welcome to the forum. As a precaution, you will have to make a couple more posts before you can post images.

I had a similar experience with an Industrial Chip Collector / Dust extractor from Axminster. Admittedly it was a customer return, but when the motor went pop a few months after I got it I was told a replacement would take a couple of months to come from China or I could pay an extra £150 and have i...

As above, wait another 3 years and then the moisture content will be approaching 10% at which point hopefully it will have stopped shrinking. Cracks would best be filled with epoxy resin

you can also buy an arbour and a pair of grooving cutters from wealden which I think is what I did. https://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Heavy_Duty_64.html

welcome to the forum. you could try osmo raw, which I have used on some light woods with some success, but any oil will change the colour to a certain extent. The only other option would be to spray it with a lacquer.

welcome to the forum. if you want a router to use in a router sled then you should definately look for a larger one with a 1/2" collet. You can then, if you wish, use collet adaptors to use router bits with a smaller diameter shaft. routers to look for would be something like the Trend t10, dew...

thanks for the update. I would strongly recommend not adding any more coats as the manufacturer only recommends 2 and you may get issues with it not drying fully.

180g would be ok, just don't go coarser than 120g. Colour will be similar. When you apply the osmo do a thin coat, leave a couple of minutes and then wipe off any excess with paper towels. It should be touch dry. Leave a day and apply a 2nd coat as above.

Be very careful sanding the table unless you are 101% sure that it is solid beech. In all likelihood it is a veneer which will be less than 1mm thick. The white spirit should remove the excess oil, and once dry I personally would just very lightly hand sand with 120g paper. Osmo Polyx is widely avai...

Welcome to the forum. You have to post a few times before posting photos. Regarding your table, teak oil is generally used for garden furniture. Any idea what the finish was originally? I suspect you may have to clean the oil off with white spirits and start again. My preference would be to use osmo...

welcome to the forum. If you post a couple more times you will be able to post a picture which might help in advising on the best course of action.

Looks good. Are they going to add cushions or leave as is?

Welcome to the forum. With regards to drying your piece of oak, I would leave it outside, under shelter, and hope for the best. Oh and you will need to be patient - the rule of thumb for air drying is 1 year per inch of thickness. The likelihood is that the bark will come off and there isn't a lot t...

James I've got a bunch of shaker doors to make soon....I'm intrigued as to what the Bobby method is? Jonathan http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5805&p=73168&hilit=door#p73168 Sadly the images have gone - maybe Bobby could repost. Or I will take some photos of my copy...

Any suggestions for a supplier of custom shaker doors? I was planning on using cutwrights for an upcoming job however they only do doors with a 90mm rail and stile and the customer wants 70 or 75mm. There are going to be around 40 doors / drawer fronts and ideally they will come primed.

Thanks

No experience of 3ph power feeds, but all the single phase ones I've seen have a switch on the body of the feeder to turn on and off and change speed and feed direction. I can't imagine that a 3ph one would be any different.

If the old door fits nicely use it as a template.

Well done Will - keep us posted and feel free to ask for advice as we have all been in your position at some point in the past.

Welcome to the forum. If you just want a quantity of French Cleats for your own use, it would be much easier and cheaper to get a local joinery shop to run them off for you on a rip saw or table saw. With your budget you are only going to get a basic site saw which will be difficult to use. If you a...

welcome to the forum. you need to make a couple of posts before you can post a picture, but from your description it is probably fine. As long as the plate is flat and straight and the spine is straight it doesn't really matter about the angle of the spine to the plate.

Welcome. I have exactly this set up, sorted out by a member of the forum who is a wizz with all things electrical. Sadly I have no idea what exactly he did, but he has added something inside the NVR switch to allow it to be operated from a remote socket. Note that at least with mine, the NVR switch ...

Now don't laugh but .... I also had a bit of an accident a month or so back. The main on/off buttons for the Hammer are in the middle of the machine which entails walking behind the table saw to turn it off. There is an emergency switch on the table saw side but it's one of those that latches and y...

Thanks Mark. Very helpful.

Steve

Thanks for the suggestions. Will give it some more thought as I can't do anything at the moment anyway!

For those who have the domino, please take great care if you are changing depth of plunge going from shallow cuts on something like a face frame to deeper cuts on the carcase. If you forget to change the setting when cutting a slot in a thinner piece the cutter will exit on the face, and if you stup...

Evening. I would really appreciate some advise on modifying my garage roof at home - see below. garage 1.JPG garage 5.JPG The garage is single skin, and the roof has a span of 5.4m a pitch of 45 deg and is 5.7m wide.

The reason Iam here is because I was on the other forum as recommended from another forum, :roll: I got bullied and picked on by a "God" like member, other members tried to defuse to situation, I gave as much back admittedly, but no Mod intervention. Welsome. No bullying on WWUK - we are ...

Go for it. in the past UKW mods were a bunch of tossers - partly why this forum started. it used to be the case that WWUK was more trade orientated and UKW hobby, but no idea what UKW is like now as I've not visited in ages.
