I'd be tempted just cut the rotten section off and add a repair spur next to shortened post and attach with couple of coach bolts.

Anyone owning an older Kapex (like the one I just sold

) check to see if it is the subject of a recall as they can 'go on fire' which is what mine did in February and was repaired FOC- see here https://www.festool.co.uk/campaigns/mic ... ofit#start

240v Kapex 120 for sale good in good condition. Recently serviced by festool and brushes replaced. Collection preferred from GU8 but could post at cost - I have a kapex box and packing so it should be safe. Includes a used 60t festool blade and the mitre gauge. £750 ono 20210409_173031_resized.jpg 2...

Welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with either of the routers that you mentioned, but rather than blowing the dust away you should be looking to hooking a router up to a dust extractor. Most routers have some kind of of dust collection shroud.

Welcome. If you just want to remove the varnish from the moulding then make a curved scraper to the correct profile - an old saw blade is ideal material to use.

Welcome. Nearly all wood will change colour over time - some more so and quicker than others. I had to make some furniture from some Afromosia which changes colour quite significantly and ended up putting it under a sun bed - I kid you not! Not sure about Iroko, but both are west african hardwoods s...

welcome. what stain did you use (water based or solvent) and what lacquer?

They look impressive but there are an awful lot of places for them to hold water. My thoughts too - less of a problem in the French photo as the roof has a significant overhang. They are also less secure with the boards on the inside. I also wondered if the tenons risk popping when the cross braces...

I think the skirt round the body of the sander pulls off. I've had mine completely apart a couple of times to do repairs.

A friend has had some garage doors made in the style of some french barn doors that he likes the look of. Aside from the fact that he is in Kent not the Savoie, what are the panels thoughts?

Made in this style

He and his wife are delighted btw.

Festool do KD fittings that work with a domino jointer. I've not used them but I have used dominofix kd fittings although these don't appear to be available anymore.

FWIW, If you are going to be using sheet material, I'd look at a good (festool) plunge saw and rail (ideally a 2700mm) rather than a cheap panel saw.

I think that I have ordered from them in the past but not recently. Most of my festool stuff has come from either FFX, Bunnys Bolts (toolfest) or powertool-supplies.co.uk

Well done Roger - your perseverance paid off in the end!

If the maximum opening is 650mm just get 600 of 700mm full extension runners. It will just mean that for a 1000mm drawer box 400mm will stay inside the carcase. I just ordered some 600mm heavy duty double extension runners rated at 80kg from ironmongery direct this evening for a similar job.

I use D4 grade PVA wood glue for pretty much everything and would think it would be perfectly adequate for bed. I would consider using special bed frame brackets for joining the side rails to the head board and foot board to allow for disassembly.

Welcome to the forum. I'm doubtful that anyone will be able to help you with this as most people who have timber with live woodworm in it would be more concerned about getting rid of it before it affected anything else that trying to save it. Any reason why you can't just treat the timber with chemi...

From what I can recall of my visit, any condensation that forms would be instantly absorbed by the inch thick layer of saw dust on every non vertical surface, including Jason

Carpet?

TT for some reason my private messages are staying in my outbox so I don’t think they’re getting through? I’m interested in taking a look at the workshop so could you drop me an email at louis.taylor@gmail.com please? Cheers Louis As a new member I don't think that they will be able to send or rece...

If they are solid do it the other way round and get hold of a couple of lengths of tube with a 1 1/4" bore, cut the existing bars and slide the tubes over the ends. Ideally an engineering company would be able to tap a threaded hole or two at each end so that you can secure the tubes to the bars wit...

Welcome to the forum. Personally never heard of them but then I don't fit flooring. Maybe someone can help. If however you are here to promote your company by spamming us with your website I can assure you it will not end well

Thanks for your input...I guess your right about the size of the blade and yeah i generally use a skill saw with speed square for 1st fixing...and also done a bit of trenching with it last week making door linings up. I will take a look at the makita aswell. Steve I have never used a skill saw for ...

Welcome to the forum. It might help to know what you want to use it for. If it is for a worktop or chopping board then there are other alternatives that a decent hardware store or decorators merchants may stock.

I bet the dog wasn't still sitting there when you turned it on @rhrwilliams! Probably still hasn't recovered 6 months on!

A table saw is the last piece of machinery that I'd think of using in the workshop to make tongue and grooved boards. How much have you got to make? If only a bit and you have the time do it by hand, a Stanley No 50 Plough plane (or something similar) would do the job. Alternatively you can buy a se...

Hi. Thanks for the reply. What would be the max length of horizontal components? If this measurement exceeds the desired shelf width, what should I construct the shelves from? Plywood? Thanks again D I wouldn't go more than about 800mm, but if you need to then you can add a timber batten underneath...

Welcome to the forum. I personally would make it out of 18mm moisture resistant mdf. The only thing to be aware of is that you need to avoid any long unsupported horizontal components as they will sag.

Sorry to hear about your friends tragic loss.

It would help however to know where the saw is located.

he won't be able to post photos until he has posted a couple of times to ensure that the photos posted aren't inappropriate

welcome to the forum. it would help to have a rough idea of what you are wanting for the edgebander and also the condition.

Hi Mark. Thanks for all the questions. Before I try to answer them this is my set up for spraying: spraying.jpg I usually use Morrells Waterbourne lacquers, but I've used Tikkurila Helmi on two jobs and I've been very pleased with the results. The reason for choosing it rather than using Morrells is...

I'd have said that the two that look like pig stickers must be for a type of mortising machine as the round tapered end looks like a large morse taper.

Not sure what your budget is, but there is a nice looking Felder KF500 saw spindle single phase on Ebay which looks good https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Felder-KF500 ... SwVTldqGC7

Thanks chaps!

I've just stopped my subscription to Furniture and Cabinet Making as there was little in it of interest to me as I have no intention of spending thousands of pounds and hundreds of hours making a work bench that I'd be afraid to use! I do have a stack of back issues, and if you are local to me you'd...

Earlier this year I completed my first bespoke kitchen and utility and the customer has kindly sent me some photos now that the decorating has been finished. It was quite an undertaking, not least because of the size but also because the customer in question was our very own RogerM's daughter and so...

Welcome. You would probably be best talking to a machinery supplier - maybe Axminster Tools to ask them, but FYI, on my ancient Fobco pillar drill it is possible to lower the head down the pillar as well as moving the table.

I use Domino's to align the sides with the top and bottom panels and 45mm carcase screws through the sides if into mfc or spax mdf screws into mfmdf. The backs are also held on with carcase screws - 33mm if a thinner back is used. I don't generally glue anything other than where a unit may get wet -...
