Re: Hardwood windows and door isues
It sounds like they have flat cills or at least the chamfer doesn't go all the way under the opener ?

Re: Wadkin Vs Wadkin Bursgreen
The legendary brand wadkin is no more . I think they went under in the 80 ? Wadkin became big in the 40's and started buying other companies up like Bursgreen and badging up their machines ( Wadkin Bursgreen ) (Wadkin Cooksley ) etc . When Wadkin went under People bought the intellectual rights to t...

Re: Sliding sash repairs
Nice repair . I have never understood why this kind of thing isnt taught in schools . when i was at school we made a wood metal and plastic train . What good is that for life ? How to repair a window or door is far more useful .

If you're mounting it in a router table then removing the springs is quite common . I have a hand held with no springs , you just need to remember its going to drop rather than pop up when you hit the lock .

Re: Need some advice on a custom made door
The finish is poor . It looks like it has been on site for a while before fitting . Douglas fir is a fantastic material for an external door however it is horrible to work with . It spits , chips and cracks as you have found out . Ive used it once on a gate and decided after that i wouldn't use it f...

Stanley 45 A gift from an old joiner
One of the old boys down my road stopped me in the street today and said he'd like to give me his old stanley 45 if i could use it in the workshop . I was expecting some battered old rusty thing but he presented me with this :shock: https://i.imgur.com/DJyBNVL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/5II2qjM.jpg

Re: Gothic arch architrave
It was a bit of a mystery why the moulding was going wrong as the dry runs worked perfectly but i did the cutting in two passes and the first pass was taking away enough timber that the second pass was missing the top part of the jig so moving a little as it went around . Adding another bit of mdf t...

Re: Timber pricing/size - rule of thumb?
The more you buy the cheaper it is but prices can go all over the place as its a natural material with sales people trying to earn money on it . Then you have the problem of what stock is available . You may want a 4 x 2 but you have to buy a 6 x 2 as that is what they have . So you keep the off cut...

To be honest mate those old universal machines are crap at nearly every function and lethal . Scott and Sargeant may give you £100 or you may find a hobby woodworker on UK Workshop that will buy it . Dont expect to get a lot for it though .

The machines are over complicated and cost too much . You need pressure , heat and moisture . So steam and pressure is what im thinking .
