Thanks for your replies after some more digging have seen this as a possible solution

Hi sorry phone went crazy there .. yes that makes sense and is effectively just a stop block on the cut side . However depending on how close the rubber guard is pushed up against the spacer could effect accuracy ? Yes agree the shelf width accuracy isnt that important but I do need to rip some...

Good morning hoping you can help ... I am looking to rip down a 18mm mdf board with my park side tracksaw to make some shelves . I want to make some repetitive cuts so each shelf is same width . I suppose I could just measure and mark each cut .I then thought there must be a way of making a...

Good morning I would like to turn this pine slice of trunk into a coffee table . Basically dry then reduce , level , sand, finish and attach some metal legs to the underside .But have a few questions if anyone could advise ... 1. Bark on or off? My view would be off as once it dries out the...

Thanks Matt...must be rebate at the back of the post not a central dado or door could not be hinged....although maybe hinged on the right side?

Thanks for all your replies...I think you are right must be a groove/dado which seems a lot of work. Was thinking of a 2x2 post with 1x1 baton screwed to inside with the slats then attached. But if I use 19mm slats would not give the same amount of set back. Anything bigger than 2x2 post may...

Hi Matt thanks for your reply...yea I did think about attaching to the insides but could not work out how you would do that as well as having the door set back the same amount. The corner post looks quite narrow . If it was a 4x4 post would be easier....so must be a rebate or groove. Was hoping...

Trying to work out how to construct this, how to get the setback effect on the sides and doors without having to cut grooves in the corner posts for the slats to slide into. I am sure there is a simple way .....

Hi Steve any chance of a close up of the setting guage , I see you have a tape measure attached to it, seems a good idea esp if set up to include kerf of blade Thanks richard

Thanks pcb

The you tube video mentions putting glide tape on the bottom of the saw to help it slide. Can't find such a product on Google has anyone used it or similar product ? Thanks

Thank you custard you make some very interesting and useful points

A fair point - but here is a link to fww article https://jeffbranch.wordpress.com/2013/0 ... es-part-1/ What do you reckon it means then ? Thanks

H I am about to start building a dedicated stand for my mitre saw-usual type affair with collapsing support wings etc. However one plan I read suggested that when aligning the fence on the support wings then to drop it back about half an inch from the actual fence on the mitre saw. This is to...

Hi Carl Yes its as you say tool cabinet with finger joints to join the sides to the top. I like your jig idea a simpler and much cheaper version of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74ACCW3kMDk Thanks for the advice

Hi Carl Thanks for your reply- I hadn't thought of cutting them with the router "vertically" so to speak but that makes sense. I was thinking of cutting them with a flush trim bit with the router flat on the surface of the board. Trying to work out what the jig would look like with the method...

Hi I am looking to join some panels together to make a wall hanging tool cabinet, I plan to use box joints to do this. The panels are 3/4 birch plywood and approx 30 cm wide. I have read about various methods for doing this, the favoured appears to be making a jig for a router table. I have...
