fair enough

I tend to try round up to nearest full day, unless it’s a part of a larger joinery package

looks great, out of interest how long do you allocate to such a project? That's a question! Well I didn't allow anywhere near enough time because I was trying to keep the cost down as it was for family but for a proper client I'd allow 5-6 days to make (I work out prices for labour in hours so 45-5...

Steve Unsure from what you have written regards the ins and outs. Do you have proof he has ripped out your work? All sounds a bit of a mess, and I’m unsure why you sent an invoice to his client? As a general rule we do the following. Price job Win job - get client to accept our t and c’s Create draw...

I use cabinet vision - not used articad - but I am guessing they run in a similar way - it’s taken us 2 years plus to understand about 15% of it - you only need to know 10% to be ultra efficient (if that makes sense) I can only assume articad is similar. My point to the above is to persevere as ther...

Really enjoyed that one. Great craftsmanship

Most companies I know who have active apprenticeship schemes are really solid companies with longevity.

Now that we have moved to larger premises - i’ll Be running the same scheme I received all those ago.

mark270981

Ahhhhh, I see - makes sense now - would have been far too simple.

mark270981

how messed up would it be to plug a transformer into the 240v socket and run it that way?

mark270981

I made a box frame out the relevant sized timber and siliconed it to the floor then fixed through the units into this frame - it was perfectly solid and would have no qualms recommending this method.

You need an ovolo router bit with bearing and a radius to match your edging thickness put this in a trimmer which you can screw on a piece of 3 mm MdF to create a stepped base - set it all up perfectly and voila (this is essentially replicating the MFK/OFK

Hi Roger

You will need an airless sprayer for this.

I have sprayed my house with this only recently and it really is a perfect finish (the plastering needs to be up to standard)

thats if you are spraying walls?!

Anyone seen this **** do his review

I have 2 of the HO8's Can't fault them at all, very much an advocate of them to be fair.

I'm liking Beardmore thanks for the link - I hoping they are going to sort out a problem ive got on matching ironmongery on a leather bound walnut desk we have made.

I have the T11 for the router table, I have only recently bought, I was a little disappointed with the quality of the casting, but it does the job in the table.

mark270981

6 to 7 hundred quid each plus vat!

More if spray finished.

I would use rafix fixings as that is metal to metal fixings

mark270981

Impressive I like it - how long to draw that?

mark270981

They've portraying this in films for years! Lol

Only posted the above - no idea who they are!

mark270981

I have used the festool one, I couldn't get to grips with it, so even if you forked out that kind of money I reckon you would be disappointed!

Unsure on the virutex as I haven't used it, but I have a seen a demo and it seemed to work well.

mark270981

stopped rebates

mark270981

Lumpy?

How much are you putting on?

mark270981

I guess you use davies timber? They are retailers I would expect them to be a lot more expensive.

Problem you have is if you only buy a small amount the big trade merchants aren't that intestered?

mark270981

Where in brum are you?

mark270981

Will you consider deals outside of auction?

mark270981

Yes you will Pete

Plywood is (should be) balanced, so you will need to laminate both sides to keep it that way.

mark270981

driftwood?

mark270981

I personally would collect myself with a hired vehicle

To be fair Steve if it the housing snugly fits the board thickness this will alleviate any splitting with the correct pilot hole.

mark270981

I believe it goes as far as being machine specific too - i.e. What the manufacturer recommends.

mark270981

I agree with you.

I tend to do it the opposite way though, meet them, if i like them I trial them, if they get on well keep them, if they don't then say i say see you later.

i've had 15 lads over the years come through the door only 5 were worthy of staying on.

mark270981

Hi Mate

I would suggest forgetting the CV requirement for young lads and just invite them in to meet them, but set it as a formal interview with a specific time, so then you can gauge smartness and timekeeping, then you can ask all the relevant questions and see what their attitude is like.

mark270981

I'm sure your jaxie is clean. I say that out of politeness because I have no idea. I'm glad your legals got you most of a result. Last thing I recall was a post about some super column CNC'ing for what sounded like an oligarchy type,which sounded beyond complicated. Edit: photo wasn't showing for m...

mark270981

mate - i need more details!!!

mark270981

To be fair if I spent 4 or 5 days writing the parametric programme on cabinet vision, so all parts came off the CNC then I could smash them out probably cheaper than smart storage, but as a one off then I stick by my original estimate

mark270981

with the laser?

That's how they sold it to you isn't it!

mark270981

Maybe Woodsmith can help you.

I am guessing that's a £1500.00 to £1750.00 job though.

mark270981

Love new machines!

mark270981

....I wish I had a tenth of your business nous, mate. That, and a big pair of balls!!! ..... What this will do, it will free up your good labour to concentrate on the finesse items, and you can use the cheaper labour to knock up the unitry and run the CNC. cheap labour is readily available.
