Got some work done this week. Got the frames all sorted and made the frame pillars. I made some changes to the frame as i was not happy with the top circle. So in true woodworker fashion i chopped it off. In the plans it says the the frame is supposed to look like the eifle tower. I think it...

OK, apologies for the lack of progress lately. Been a bit busy with work, but I did manage to grab a little (well a whole day) quality shed time. Got quite alot of work done. got the frames cut and sanded, (not without a great deal of hassle) I went to a local printers and got the A1 plans...

Ideal for the woodturner who wants to turn pens or miniatures, this mini lathe represents excellent value for money. Designed to be bench mounted, this lathe has full cast iron construction making it extremely heavy for its size which keeps vibration down to an absolute minimum for more...

Fair enough, So i guess that it will be done one the drill press.

Does anyone know of any reason that I should not fit a drum sander with a 1/2" arbor into my table mounted 1/2" router? It is variable speed, so I would assume that as long as i run it at the lowest speed then there should not be a problem. Yes or No? What do you think?

Oh, forgot to say motownmartin, I am not sure if there are certain woods that you should use. I am using hardwood as that is what I have, I belive that most people would use a high grade ply wood then veneer it, but at the end of the day I think that if the stock is prepared and dried properly...

Sneaked an hour in the shed last night. Got the anchor plate drilled, cut and sanded. Also, i have uploaded the magazine article that inspired me to build the clock in the first place. It may take a little while to download as the file is a 10mb PDF. I scanned it from the April 2005...

Good morning to all, and i hope you have a great bank holiday. I got a fair amount of work done on the clock over the weekend. I finished cutting all of the smaller gears out, all of which are yet to be sanded. This meant that I could then move onto some of the larger parts. The first of...

OK. So I have finally started woodworking, Got my scroll saw, and some new blades. Decided on 2x3mm pieces of stock glued togetherfor the gears (we will see how that turns out. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/gluing-end-grain-t41339.html) Glued the patterns onto the face of each gear. Had a...
