Added to the ban list

Oh , its ban not bum ? My bad ! Sorry Jacob .

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...

I used my 78 the other day to just copy a rebate in some timber . Sometimes its quicker to use the hand tools than set up a machine

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

ive been asked if i can replicate a victorian cornice in two rooms of a house . The main wall and ceiling mouldings are easy but they want a dental and rose effect on the ceiling and wall joint. Winther Brown used to be the people to buy this from but they went tits up a few years ago . so i'm think...

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...

Agree ! We have had nine weeks of lock down with no work and youre showing off with a day out at the sea side !

Needs a little tweak at the top but its there .

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...

They look like normal fences to me .

2 went ok 2 where sh*t but the plan is working .

Think i'm going to add the curved fence and flip the power feed round to push against it .

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 .

Doing the architrave now . I thought I had a plan but I’m ending up with snipe so need to work out a way to support the out feed .

Thats a badged up machine , i think SIP sold them many years ago . I had one and it did its job but very very noisy . High pitched noise !

Just been to look at the above and the sales rep said a big no no as its good for small amounts but for bigger projects its got a short life and ill be forever rebuilding the machine . He said i'd be better spending 1k !
on the way home i picked up a McDonalds , that was a load of wank too

I'm thinking of getting the FC3500 . Anyone tried it ?

The 350R is wank!!

Honest reviews on here

Think i'm in the same place as you !
The machines are over complicated and cost too much . You need pressure , heat and moisture . So steam and pressure is what im thinking .

Anyone sussed this yet ? Ive seen a couple of smaller machines on the market now but they are still a few thousand

from the you tube clips it looks quite slow .

2 3rds .

Been looking at these today , i think the electric gun would be better suited for me . Anyone use one ?

I like those !
Speak to Doug at cutting solutions . Mention the forum as he likes to know hes still loved .

I used to use the Haffelfalle cam lock system for my fitted wardrobes . They work really well .

Guess what . They have changed it again

Splitter

Youre in Le France innit ?

Indeed !

Glue up and now onto the hard part . The architraves . My bum is already twitching

It started out as an exact copy of the above photo but its changed as there where service pipes in the wall they removed so its a door frame with a gothic arch just above it . The architrave is just the ogee as there are also light switches in the way . https://i.imgur.com/pFgduIX.jpg The frame need...

Should have the window made this week and have the cutters for the architrave .

Why do you want to squash a sandwich ? As someone that has had to rely or them for many years for lunch on site the last thing i would want is for it to be squashed !

Just bolt a bit of wood to the one you have .

I know i know , i need another tenoner !

People will always choose the easy route and fastest to make money and save time . Craftsmen do the job properly .
I'll change that to tradesmen to cover any trained person that gets involved in our trade .
I can hear 9fingers wincing from here at my workshop set up

Before the domino they used dowels to make cheap doors . I just use a mortice and tenon cause its proper innit . Plus i have a tenoner and dont own a domino .
