Woahh thats nasty, we got the DF500 a short while ago thanks for heads up. I went to East Grinstead to get my thumb sorted after i decided to put it into my power plane, it was on par with your injury i didn't think it would heal as good as it did.... my hearts pounding thinking back on it now. Spee...

As you plan on making a huge saving making the windows yourself why not get a costing on heritage units it will help to keep your window in character and narrower rebates will help keep the meeting rails slimmer, i read that thicker units have double reflections and bulges from pressure and ruin the...

WSH says something about not shipping to North America is that your issue ?

JonR

Any joinery questions i have Googled(ie:box sashes) in the past i have always ended up here for an answer or a clue at least of what to do so thats why i joined the forum, its not as active as it was sorry to say. You have Woodhave2 also to try.

JonR

Pretty sure a 16mm softcoat argon/kryton gas filled unit will get you well within regs Google a U value sealed unit chart, yes to 15mm rebate and a 3mm gap all round the unit. You said you got 40mm thick sashes I would thicken them to 44mm if your going to totally renew the window. Not keen on exter...

You can buy redwood Vac Aqua treated profiles from here http://www.expresstimberproducts.co.uk/index.php?page=Sash---Case-Window-Sections, not what i would go for myself because the treatment doesnt go right through the wood so any cuts you make ie: mortice and tennon joints... infact any cuts you w...

JonR

In general what condition are the sash boxes in especially where the cill and linings meet....the usual areas for decay.

JonR

Are you talking about the type 3?

JonR

I would go for a Felder, i got seperates myself, whats your budget ?

Anybody got one ? the one i have has the conicle stone on the side no use for it though as yet. When i bought it i was given a tub of this amber pungent smelling fluid the stuff i think we used on the metalwork lathes at school back in the 80's. Anybody know what the cutting fluid is called as i nee...

I use the Hassume which Axminster used to do also bought the rip blade to go with it, lovley cut though the difference between a Kataba and Hassume i cant tell you.

JonR

Very nice, got a my own kitchen in the pipe line to do just cant settle on what style to follow.

Grand job mate.

Its approx 340mm, the bench is an 8 x 4 for general sizing.

JonR

£20 now, money will go to New Hope animal rescue.

JonR

I made do with my Kity 637 for a long time and it was less of a PITA when I removed the extraction chute and used a home made hood when thicknessing and one for surfacing which was clamped by thicknessing table. Maybe try removing yours and see how it goes before shelling out. I got a Felder silent ...

Could be worth a try.

JonR

Fair play, but Helmi is to thick for a hvlp we(my painter mate) tried it, prob is you cant thin helmi top coat it need an airless system to push it through. Send me a pm if you can and ill get him to call you hes very helpfull....talks alot tho!!

JonR

I have been using Morrells 501 primer . Helmi is to thick for my hvlp but the Helmi primer went through ok with some flotrol added and a smidge of water. Re job 1 I dont make doors with plant ons for shaker style it throws the door out of balance if you have to do it that way then maybe a 3 or 4mm m...

JonR

Thought of doing your own finishing at all? I bought a 4 stage hvlp fuji spray unit from Axminster but have only been using waterbourne primer to date but I feel more confident about having a go at top coats now, all that I primed was hand finished. What areas of south London exactly? I got a mate w...

JonR

Could have have been Teknos sprayed finish. The job that we did the sash renovation on had new box sashes bought for the extension and they came over from Lithuania. They were spray finished in Teknos and were faultless....and cheap!

A bit about it in this thread that may help you out, your post may get over looked in this section so probably ask in the woodworking topic for more help.

JonR

If your near Faversham i can put you onto a guy who is conservation approved for his box sashes, he uses Accoya(Google that) for all his exterior work. I have made 4 box sashes with Accoya myself but next down from Accoya for me would be Utile though some use Sapele also. Last year we renovated some...

Put an ad on Freecycle for off cuts of wooden worktop oak/beech/bamboo, i have some but your just a bit to far away ! You see them on Ebay also at times. Making up wide boards with small pieces make it more stable less likely to warp. Some timber species will be more stable than others in a wide pla...

JonR

Hi, where are you located ? somebody here who does joinery may have off cuts to sell on or donate.

JonR

Lovley job.

Stanley Bridges stuff going free, plenty of it. Its in Welling London/Kent border if interested pm me and ill put you onto my cousin who was given it from a garage clear out

JonR

Being Bamboo i guess your an Eco product company ? Where are you located ?

JonR

Birch ply and maybe CNC cut would be the way to go I reckon.

JonR

Maybe, but acrylic paint is water based and it seems it keeps swelling the mdf fibres and if its a cheap mdf it will be quite fluffy below the surface compounding the problem. Medite and MR Medite are much denser and better at coping with a bit of moisture. I don't use standard mdf for anything alwa...

JonR

I would chisel the raised area back below the surface and then fill with a 2 pack filler sand smooth and start over with the painting process.

JonR

I go down my local timber supplier and sift through the PAR racks grab the clearest as i can get then face laminate it, that is when i do use pine for joinery which is n't often.

JonR

Any facility for a home work shop at all ?

JonR

I might be alright if it was my friend who was borrowing the workshop for free *cough cough* but if he was employing somebody and wanted them to come and use it i would swerve it. Try the guy who runs courses in Scotney castle he may hire out some machine time and some work space next to him is a Na...
