.... For me triple glazing is a waste of money here in the UK.... Leveller

Unless you've got a missus who wants bloody great glazed sliding doors in Northumberland ! I wish we had triple glazing..

Pencil and paper. Works every time.

The grit size won't affect final smoothness if you sand up through the grits though will it thatsnotafestool? Or am I missing something?

No it won't. My apologies for not explaining myself better.

Thx Jas.

I need another Universal blade (as supplied with the machine). Originally ordered one from Felder UK with the expectation of delivery 5-6 days. Now told it is out of stock. Maybe back in stock in 10 days ..which takes us to the Christmas shutdown etc so realistically it won't be until 2021 before I ...

Just wondering is there's a reason php error reporting is turned on. found it a bit disconcerting when signing up.

Presumably either nobody else has noticed, or nobody is bothered by it.

Nah...we're not bothered about it !

thatsnotafestool

Also grit size will affect speed of removal at the expense of final smoothness.

Personally I like my Mirka CEROS especially as all the dust (or most of it) is sucked away by the vacuum cleaner.

I'm not convinced that a 1/2" router is that necessary if you're just starting out. Really depends on what cutters you think you might use in the future/type of projects. I don't rate the Trend stuff. Their routers used to be OK but mine has had a lot of problems. Maybe it was a Friday night job but...

Thanks Mark. Never heard of those screws. The downside for me is that the heads would be visible. Ok for the carcass but not for fitting the face-frame.

I'm very pleased with those Festool KD fittings. I can disassemble the whole thing in under ten minutes.

Offering up a trial fit to see what it looks like in situ. All good. I have enough room down the RH side to get to everything thus meeting objective (A) and that it can be dismantled meets (B). https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50595908903_3d742396de_b.jpg Next we need to work out how the face fra...

Folk may recall back in July I posed the question in this thread about the best way of providing storage space here yet allowing access to all the plumbing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50108005462_5a9b0614a6_b.jpg After much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that :- (A) I needed quick a...

Yes it will fill with water.

Yes ...put some large holes in the bottom and try and get some preserver on the walls of the holes.

thatsnotafestool

Definitely not Zebrano.

thatsnotafestool

Thanks, Steve. That helped (once I found the Mirka spanner) and used the right screw bit

thatsnotafestool

Anyone know how to access the bolt holding it on ? I've taken the pad off but it's still occluded by the actual exhaust.

TIA

thatsnotafestool

Excellent repair. indeed. I always used to remove the bottom 1/2" of the parting bead (and make good in the cill) as it forms a water trap.

thatsnotafestool

Thx Doug. I'm a lazy sod...didn't think of scrolling down.

Your friend has made a very nice job of the car.

My recommendation is shotgun stock oil, l use it on my fly boxes, this one is around 10 years old.

Great suggestion, thanks.

A friend of mine renovating his third old crock is at the point where he's got the dashboard made from American Walnut and would like recommendations for a satin finish. Needs to be waterproof as it's open-top. Here's some photos of the car. I'm impressed with his woodworking as there are some awkwa...

We already have these in place. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50378240616_6466961980_b.jpg (Bit of nifty work turning one of them upside down otherwise we'd have needed a stepladder to open the top one!) We have this to box in somehow. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50377542453_530c1ae0c6...

This looks underpowered for any genuine use, I question 1.5kW won't cut it! A decent uncompromising switch, for example, the DeWalt 625 is 2kW, so you can see that this machine is probably going to battle to get anything besides the lightest instruments turning up to speed. Wellbeing is a major fac...

definitely me too changed for a shallow shave and the cutting edge is the correct far up and I do kinda cut it at a point, this aides yet at the same time not content with it, additionally I have a turned inward one and this is truly doing my head in, it just dives in or shaves nothing on an altern...

Anyone else get that email from Felder ?

thatsnotafestool

That's very generous of him, Jas. Pity you don't use hand tools!

thatsnotafestool

Any good ? Hafele. 30kg. https://www.regalraum.com/en/bigfix-flo ... ckets.html

thatsnotafestool

Buy a plaster one from Stephenson's of Norwich. Paint it brown and say you made it.

thatsnotafestool

Quality work, mate.

thatsnotafestool

Cool video, Jas. Love the dedicated use of PPE.

thatsnotafestool

Same model as the Silverline. Noisy and nasty. Out of China, built down to a price. But if you want something that is portable then it will do.

thatsnotafestool

These Chinese saws :o I'm hacked off with Festool because if you don't register your item within x days then your warranty is crap. My supplier told me he had and I trusted him. More fool me. Still can't understand why Festool are so anally retentive though. After all, you have the invoice as to whe...

British Hardwoods ?

thatsnotafestool

Sorry Neil...missed the 22mm bit ! Mine was 18mm. They're top of my sh*t pile though and I cancelled my account since they really left me in the brown stuff. Latham's ?

thatsnotafestool

Guess it depends on the model. Went quick enough for me doing the workshop.

thatsnotafestool

I had a Wagner to spray my workshop. Bloody brilliant.

thatsnotafestool

Or you could also speak to Ian at Tuffsaws.

Those reindeer are cute. Just like Jas

thatsnotafestool

So why can't you just divide the built in so one door opens up to the plumbing for access (if needed) and the others open to your storage. If I did that then the only things I could store in that area were upright things like brooms etc. We need shelves. Lots of 'em ! Or knock a hole in the wall th...
