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 .

Surrey timbers is well worth the trip . They have a great selection of stock from bulk buying to one off pieces .

If i was to make one i'd be asking you to supply detailed architectural drawings . Very detailed !

just because a company uses ali fences on all its machines doesnt mean it a good choise of material for a fence , It just means thats what they use .

I got the trend resin cleaner . It took about an hour to work it through the build up but all is clean now . I found working a small patch at a time to be more effective than wiping along the whole roller .
That another job sorted for the next ten years !

Googled "spray on stuff want to get resin off saw blades" and d and m sell something . will report back on how good or bad it is .

My feed rollers are starting to gunk up and leave marks on my timber . I remember cleaning them about 10 years ago

and it was a right faf with having to get under there and using carb cleaner and the like . Anyone know an easier way ?

the Wadkin BAO/S isnt that big , i have one in my small workshop .

Looks like stick marks where the boards have been stacked to dry .

You need a few more posts before you can add pictures .

Just ordering some cutters to be made and mentioned i may need a new block as i have a new spindle moulder . My tooling company said they can rebore my 30mm blocks to 1;1/4 . Itll save a fair few hundred quid and i cant think of a reason not to . Is there one ?

Most things can be done with a router in some way or other . A spindle moulder comes into its own if you are wanting to copy profiles or do larger production work . I did my apprenticeship for a wood worm / dry rot company and there wasn't a moulding i couldn't match with off the peg timber , a rout...

Hi Mate . I dont have a manual for that machine but scott and sargeant may have one .

Doug fir is a good timber , i might be tempted to use sapele .
These are indexed finials so making up something for the router would be how i would go about this one . I'm lucky enough to have the legacy ornamental mill but it would be easy enough to make a sled to run the router over the timber .

will do , when i get a start date . Its nice to have the work coming in but no start dates

Well thats the WWUK Christmas party accounted for then

Looks like this job is on . Great fun !

Stick some wooden handles on this . https://www.howdens.com/bathrooms/bathr ... -25323624

Just an idea but it seems there are a lot of hospital staff without PPE and face shields seem to be a disposable product . This is a thought made up within 5 minutes so could be total b*ll*cks but it isnt hard to rip down some softwood and glue the over lap together . Add to the front velcro and pla...

Good find !
While our workshops are quiet what can we make to help ? I cant find any info .

Fantastic craftsmanship ! Looks lovely !

Good idea doing a dry run . Ive got a curved template from another job i can try it on . Problem is , i dont want to move the settings on the spindle moulder until ive got the go ahead on the work .

For example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Startrite-Thicknesser/184170693595?hash=item2ae16dc3db:g:z48AAOSwNhNeRsOa https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/planer-with-thicknesser-attachment/324081014146?hash=item4b74bbd582:g:OnEAAOSwb39d~fkF Not great but with these two you can prep sawn timber . Probably one of t...

There are bargains to be had , you just need to keep an eye on ebay and let everyone know you are after machines . Also be willing to travel to collect them although you can get things put on a pallet for about £100 .

My thinking was if i have the power feed pushing against the fence and pointing slightly towards the machine bed then it would push the work both ways and keep the work tight to the curved bed and the fence while feeding forward . I will only be using the spindle to do the moulding on the curved bla...

kind of what im thinking Bob . Support top and bottom against the fence with the timber/architrave fixed to a backer between them .

Thinking more about this , to do an ogee architrave im going to have to support it on a curved sled aswell as a curved base . There is going to be very little timber once the moulding is cut and as its quite deep i think it will need two passes .
Thoughts ?

Cheers for the pictures mate . I'm gonna have to have a go at this even if its just for fun

Is there a reason both of you dont use a power feed to do this ?

Ive ended up spacing my machines 4 ft apart but in a space i can walk down between them . Between each machine is 8ft in front and behind . They are basically staggered each side of the space . My main square workshop is a bit wasted to be honest as it doesnt work very well . The table saw , extract...

Figured it would take a while to make the templates and machine the parts . Add to that the cost of the cutters its about £800 . CNC can do it for the same money but wheres the fun in that ! The other option is to do it with plaster . Cant be that hard but messy and not as fun as doing it in timber ...
