108 teeth, on a table saw, I can also p*ss really high up the wall.

Some good, some average, as far as design goes. But the skill and workmanship is wonderful, good for you Richard. Crap that sounds like ar*e licking. No, well done.

One view of off cuts could be that they are the result of the made thing coming first i.e. you buy the wood to make the thing. So you don't have off cuts if you turn it around wood first and ask what thing can I make with this bit of wood. Or am I pissed again? Off to Cornwall tomorrow for another ...

Possibly the foulest thing I've ever tasted. Look and taste like (I imagine) old cigarette ends in olive oil but with a rubbery texture.

Like most Epicure foods then

Lovely neat job Steve.

Small van with everything in. Including screws etc.
Sounds expensive but it saves time and money when you're working in the middle of nowhere or miles from your workshop.

dom

THanks for the answers gents, will try the Boracol tomorrow.

dom

O.K. I know, should've put them under cover, but didn't.
Anyone know of a quick and efficient way to get all the green crap off.

dom

Nice, clean site.
Definitely no pictures of you, smacks of a fawning amateur or an egotistical wannabe.
Postcode check ? So you wouldn't go to Birmingham for a £100000.00 kitchen.
Good photographs and easy to read.

Thanks SD, good to have useful information on the forum.

Chap I know, being a gentleman I won't mention any names, was making some windows and decided he would treat himself to some nice new Bessey's, he had sufficient other clamps, but decided, on a whim, to spend some money on shiny, pretty ones. Off he went to the tool shop, forked out loadsa dosh and ...

Stunning, wonderful craftsmanship Derek.
Pleasure to see it.

Hi LN.
The Trend jig works fine, bit fiddly at first, but O.K. once you get used to it.

dom

Thanks for all your replies. I too was looking at the Axminster BRD550 but am not sure whether an engineering one will be worth the extra. Unfortunately Axminster has just put up all their prices. :( -Neil Phone them up and tell them you'd been considering buying one, but now they've put their pric...

Do you mean you had one of the BRD550's?

No. It was just a bulk standard Axminster floor standing pillar drill, can't remember the number, but it worked well for years and was plenty accurate for woodworking.
You don't need an engineering type drill for our kind of work.

dom

I owned one of the Axminster floor standing models and it was fine for woodworking

Totally agree, mussels are a delicious and inexpensive meal. finely chopped onion, couple of cloves of garlic, sweat 'em in a pan chuck the mussels in bottle of what Mr.G. said cook 'til the shells open( any that don't chuck) some lovely bread for dipping delicious and filling. If you want to splash...

Biggest most expensive router table in the world

For God's sake Jason, just take the nappy off and get on with it !

dom

Jeff, just because you're working in your garage doesn't mean you should underprice. In the future you may have a larger workshop and paying rent, you won't then be able to suddenly double your rates. Don't forget to factor in the cost of materials, everything from sandpaper(surprisingly expensive) ...

Or, just put a door and with the appropriate lugs glued inplace use the slope as shoe storage.

In my experience, men who like ladies of those dimensions are usually of a slight build.

Price depends on how greedy you are

Never fitted one before, never bought one before.
Needs to be open door pull down type.
Any hints, tips, suggestions, inanities, will be treated with thanks or the contempt they deserve.

Lovely job, be interesting to see how much it curls up in the hot conservatory.

Aah, fair enough, I've got an old dad like that.

WOOHOO, go for it Mailee.
Keep the chairs a s simple as Poss. mate

Oh, and forget you're a metal engineer, my sun pisses me off when he tells me my planing efforts are a thou. out.

You'll never get the wood as accurate as metal

I'm a little concerned that
a) You've mentioned that Company, and
b) You have some of their furniture

dom

Hi Dean, yes MDF is a good place to start, but you should know that when you start using proper wood it will react differently to your power tools and any finish you will put on it, so you will effectively have a whole new learning curve.

Good luck, have fun and play safe.

dom

Welcome on board Dean

That's lovely Steve, well done.

Had one of those, have to say it flew out of the workshop door better than Concorde.

Made 100 of those for a local shop. Used the router bit method, but made the jig so that the router bit rose gently out of the channel to give a sort of tapered hole. Looked much better than a plain hollow. Bit of hand sanding on the edges to smooth of the sides and Bobs' your Uncle, or not in your ...
