Looking good Alan.

Funny how it all works out in the end, I remember when you were having the dilemma about leaving work and starting up, must be 4 - 5 years ago now, you always seem busy and more importantly happy in your work. Keep up the good work.

senior

I like polished concrete, I suspect you have never seen one.

senior

Why not just bring standard 80mm flexi pipe down and just have the last meter as festool stuff.

senior

Looks great Paul, as usual.

senior

I get mine turned.

senior

Not quite - But it's a show special with about 10k knocked off!! It's an absolute beauty!! It's a felder HO8 I then saw a master wood today in action and they have offered me a better spec machine for the same price! Again with a similar discount!! We had the master wood demo last year, great machi...

so am still hoping that the forum might supply a really practical solution to neutralising the fumes given off by this furniture, or suggested time for suppliers to air in order to remove said fumes? http://www.theagedp.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/nose-peg-007.jpg or http://upload.wikimedia.org/...

Looks a beaut either way.

Jas resurrected it so I thought I might as well bang up a picture, not my gaff.......... to tidy and no dogs.

I bought £2000+ of 4" oak last year from Brooks, same senario, full of shakes when planed and cut. Had a big bust up with them over trying to get a refund.
Got it eventually but this seems to be a big problem with thick kiln dried oak, Basically dried too quickly seems to be the common opinion.

senior

Thanks guys looking forward to getting it up a running. The dealer mentioned something to me that if you are doing a lot of frame and door section if you change the left and right head blades and the top and bottoms over you get twice as much life out of your tersa blades as you only use half the b...

senior

I generally dimension my sawn timber 10mm oversize and then put it through the 4 cutter in 2 passes.This works for me ,Its gives a good finish and next to no bowing. Am I boring you?............ :lol: Do you leave the wood to settle then do it again . Or do you find doing two passes straight after ...

senior

I buy from cutting solutions.
The side blocks have 2 blades the top and bottom 4.
I made a fold out outfeed table, only 6" wide and 2 ft long which just props up and folds away.

senior

Well done Jonners, 4 sider is the same as mine, great piece of kit.
Did you get it with Tersa in the end? Takes about 20 mins to change all the blades which is pretty good. any questions give me a call.

senior

Good one.
We had a customer complain that a kitchen cupboard door had fallen off, after a bit of questioning turned out she had been standing on the open door to change a light bulb!!!!

senior

I've not been before, may give it a go this year. Just back from a 2 week holiday and looking for an excuse for more time doing nothing.

senior

As said it looks fantastic, great bit of design as well as making.

senior

Really nice Jon. Why make it up as a 2.5 x 5m veneer when there are 4 vertical breaks in the units?

senior

I always have a little chuckle at that symbol, looks like a man holding two of these up

senior

Very nice, however I'm a little surprised you decided to show the butt joint at the bottom of the circle, rather than hide it at the top. Especially as it's an exhibition piece, a butt joint is a bit poor form on such a piece. I'm assuming you probably did 2 x semi circles and do have a joint at the...

Do you remember this lad http://www.woodworkuk.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11072" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; did he ever give you a CV or pm, maybe not experienced enough for you tho. Yes I have Sam's CV and he is in the mix, I emailed him a couple of days ago to see if he's ...

Anyone looking for a job. Ideally some experience in bespoke kitchens. The right candidate can mature in to the position and take on more responsibility as the business grows. Based in Matching Green Essex. 38hrs a week plus overtime. All CV's considered. Call bob or email a CV, details on my website

senior

150mm to the crown guard is too big, fine for below but 100mm would be plenty for the top.
To get good flow at distances the ducting should reduce the further away it is to keep the air speed the same.

senior

Had a day at Articad today Paul, well worth it.
Lots of tips, shortcuts etc, v19 due out tomorrow.

senior

How do you lift that on your own?

Nice one Roger.

I don't know, I like the "elite members only" section Jason created last week, invite only, really entertaining and all the other members are my class rather than the normal riff raff we get around here. I particularly like the way you get a weekly bonus related to your post count in there. Also the...

Beats me I paid 50% more £6 for a Probase, sounded like a bag of nails in a washing machine from day one, 5 years later it sounds exactly the same but it's still going, all it ever does is a 1.5mm shadow gap but for £6 you can't go wrong.

senior

Have a great day Peter, bit too far for me. I'll make it one year.

senior

Looks lovely, but a lot of us on here have established businesses.

How do you machine the laminates/veneers Bob?

I like the morso notcher as well!

Dylan.

I buy it in, 24 sheets in a pack about 3m x 500mm.
they are 2mm constructional veneers.
I can't remember off hand who I bought from, i bought two packs and that has lasted quite a while.

The door panel - is it 2 pieces of bendy MDF in grooves in the door frame? How do you groove the door rails? It's 2 x 3mm mdf on this as we had to plant the bead in, on shaker doors we do 3 x 3mm. We run the grooves on a router table with a mdf plate with the curve cut into it set around the cutter...

senior

Nice job ! Personally, I always panic about movement in the doors. The cabinet top and bottom can be constrained in the design, but what if the doors decide to "uncurve" a bit ? I know, choice of glue to avoid creep etc, but I still panic at the sight of an unsupported curve ! Use a resin based glu...

senior

Hi Guys, Been meaning to post this up. Put it on the other side last week and forgot about here I thought you may be interested in how I make curved cabinets. I think I'll let the images do the talking. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/856/j2sy.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480...

Hi Bob In regards to you post, I too have something that I have won from the auction in the same area (proberly the same auction) If I can get someone to pick it up, I will be going there Friday evening (assuming some kind person is able to help). I could pick your item from Karl (if you won it tha...

senior

Thanks Karl,
I'll let you know how it goes and email the details if necessary.
I will probably get one of my newphews to collect from you (they are all on holiday at present otherwise they could have collected directly)

Good man.

Regards Bob

senior

Hi anyone near the above who could help me out. I intend to bid on a couple of items at auction, if I win they need collecting between 30th June and 4th July. I have family in Bradford who would collect but they are on holiday, so they could collect a week later from you. 2 items are small one about...

be a lot cheaper and easier to use a large plastic barrel (£12 on ebay) or water butt.
