JonR

Is there anybody here that is Dartford /surrounding areas /south London based who take on apprentices?

I have a friends lad who is looking to get into workshop based joinery, he is 19 and mobile and currently bored silly fixing photo copiers.

We use abit of glue and a micro pinner for the fillet, on occasion used mitre bond to glue the fillet in place easier if you dont have a brad nailer and less chance of putting dinks in the wood hammering pins in. As Mark said a dab of mastic top and bottom to stop any rattles after abit of shrinkage...

We got one of the Trend jigs in the link above, rarely used but does the job. Looks like a bargain to me.

A little while ago pictures of my Felder planer that i bought through Ebay where used in a listing on Ebay and that's the second time i have seen them now probably other occasions as well no doubt.

Scamming feckers!

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...

JonR

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 ?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
