Woodwork UK

I also had a gents saw when I was about 7 or 8 - they are fairly easy for a small hand to grip. First projet could be a bench hook.

Welcome to the forum. Is there any way of getting the aluminium anodised which would stop it oxidising?

As the original post was 4 years ago I doubt very much that the K5 is still available, but you never know!

Don't whatever you do use silicone as it will bugger up your finish

In my opinion, it will be down to how the windows are maintained rather than what wood they are made from. I would have thought that assuming they are well made and regularly maintained and painted with an appropriate paint at regular intervals then unsorted redwood would be fine.

You could buy an entire ikea beech block work top for that sort of money cut off what you want and cut up thw rest into smaller chopping boards and you've got your Christmas presents sorted!

Let me know which gun / sprayer you have and if I'm in the area I will pop in and ask as they aren't too far away and in the past they've been very helpful.

Duly noted!

Welcome. Looks not dissimilar to lacewood.

What are the rails and stiles going to be made from as a veneered board would match the grain even painted. Personally I won't buy or use anything other than moisture resistant mdf if you dont want a veneered board. As to thickness probably 12mm.

Accuride do heavy duty full extension runners up to 700 or 800mm deep and rated up to over 200kg but they ain't cheap. Fixed castors would be a cheaper alternative. I've used accuride ones rated around 80kg with no problem.

Félicitations !

A piano hinge with a stay would work.

Welcome. What angle do you want the lid to open to?

I'd be tempted to mark it out and roughly cut to size with a jigsaw first leaving only 3 or 4mm oversize and then finish off with a router fixed to a tramel doing it in one pass. Using a template you would have to stop a couple of times to move the clamps or screw it to the worktop.

Might be easier to contact Record as I believe that they are still in business.

welcome. personally i would look at a plunge saw / guide rail if you are mainly going to be using man made boards.

Welcome. Easiest way is to clamp a straight edge to the piece of ply and then run the base of your circular saw against the straight edge. A suitable straight edge could be something like a furniture panel / melamine shelf that you get from a diy shed. to get it square, buy a reasonably large carpen...

Hi everyone - id really appreciate some help on fixing a few cracks I have in a dining room chair. I’ve attached the picture below - is it just a case of getting wood dust and superglue then clamping it together tight? Any help would be great Thanks Jack Hi Jack, CASCAMITE is a very good wood glue ...

I doubt it very much as you wouldn't be able to create the V in a veneered panel.

what furynaturre said.

we do our best!

Welcome to the forum. unfortunately you have to make a couple of posts before being able to include a photo to avoid the forum getting spammed. Without seeing the problem, I can tell you that superglue and wood dust won't work unless you want to create something like sandpaper. If a joint has failed...

The only jargon relating to chisels that I know of is that some old mortice chisels are referred to as pig stickers.

The south east is a big area, but you could have a look at SL Hardwoods near Croydon or Surrey Timbers near Godalming in addition to English Woodland Timber.

Welcome to the forum. What are you trying to make, or what material are you hoping to cut?

I've got a versofix cutter from Wealden Tools which is initially expensive but in the long term is probably more cost effective. I think it is recommended to use a new cutter for every couple of mitres.

Welcome to the forum. Depending on the size of the holes anyone with a morticer should be able to make the stands.

As the title says 'SOLD' and the post was from last year I'm guessing no!

I've had reasonable results with an earlex hvlp setup, but I only spray water bourne finishes.

Welcome to the forum. Personally if you want to keep the table, id recommend getting an antique restorer to sort it out.

Rip, cross cut to rough length, face, edge then thickness.

You do realise that the original post was 2 1/2 years ago!!!

Welcome to the forum. Have you tried contacting Axminster?

Welcome to the forum. Probably ebay, a local selling page on Facebook or gumtree would be your best bet for selling the furniture. For the rosewood you might want to post a few pictures to see if there's any interest, however you need to post a couple more times before you can post photos.

I've not got an ETS, but have a mirka ceros with a 5mm orbit and have been very happy with it. Can use it all day long one handed with no problem. DX is also fantastic with the mirka abranet disks.

I use the Grass tiomos hinges too and never had a problem with them.

£700 budget will get you a new festool plunge saw and probably a 1400 and 2700 track. Just make sure you buy a rip blade too if you are going to rip solid timber. If you are lucky you might be able to get a second hand festool saw and a midi extractor for your money which is probably what I would do...

There's a way round it with howdens, so if you want me to get a price from them I'd be happy to get one if you pm me the sizes.

If you don't get any luck asking here, maybe ask a timber yard - English Woodland Timber at Cocking are very helpful in my experience.
