    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    What about the skill, so also need people to teach basic woodworking skills that were once taught in schools and of course we seem to be short on time these days.

    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    That is the downside to most dowel jigs, the Dowelmax you have to add spacers between the reference fence and block, the Jessem is easier in that respect but needs external clamping whereas the Dowelmax it is built in. Also with the Dowelmax you have two configurations so more setup, it...

    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    If nothing else it certainly gives incentive to make your own if you fancy one.

    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    This is the idea behind this jig It is going to be a winter project for me and the guy Carmonius Finsnickeri was the original version but now there is a Woodpecker version / copy called mortice match but at £830 that is one very expensive jig...

    Plastic Trunking Fire cable clips and other stuff Help

    These people do the external ones needed to actually support the PVC trunking https://www.fireflycableclips.com/trunking-range/ and as @Sideways has said you can use individual cable bundles inside. This is where metal trunking and trays come in as not so many issues.

    We Will Remember Them

    For anyone interested in naval history then this was our navy in 1953 during the queens review, much larger than today.

    We Will Remember Them

    My dad was on the Totem in 1949 and the Aurochs in 1953 including the queens review of the fleet and then on the Trump and Turpin, more T class boats.

    What's the most astounding work in wood you've seen?

    This sort of work brings you back to reality because it is pure skill all done by hand with no easy options but hard graft.

    We Will Remember Them

    The biggest lesson we should have learnt from history is that any war is pointless and in reality there are no winners. The sad fact is that despite the huge losses in WW1 we still had WW2 so nothing learned and really a diservice to all those who gave their lives.

    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    A spindle moulder & power feed could produce these domino's very easily, also as @deema has mentioned you can get custom cutters made so that you could also groove them at the same time. Just need this profile and I dare say not that expensive. The side plate of the domino would need to...

    Festool Domino "loose" settings

    I think @Sideways has summed up the issue that you get on the non loose setting, But with the dowel jigs you do not get this issue and they are as tight and also like I have said previously competition leads to inovation and with the Festool patent it has stagnated as sideways also says. One...

    US Election November 5th

    Unfortunately it is Zelensky who is not accepting any diplomacy and might be because he feels the west is not only supporting him but foolishly believes the west will not allow there defeat, along comes trump who probably realises that no mater how much support is given Ukraine is not going...

    Clamps

    Well on your recommendation I have just purchased some of these from Axminster, yes a lot better priced than the others. I have looked at these types that fit into the hole but having used those Bessey Horizontal clamps I found they can deform the 20mm hole. Maybe the solution here is to use...

    Slightly restricted planer suggestions

    Have you asked yourself if you really need one ? If you have a good source of wood then maybe the space could be used by something else and the money saved would buy it. Also some of these machines require a 16 amp supply so something else to bear in mind.

    Putin is a loser

    A mild version of communism would be much better for the climate and enviroment as it removes a lot of the materialism we have in the west. Do we really need to have so much choice with everything ?

    US Election November 5th

    Growth may have some impact but greed has an even bigger one along with our materialistic lifestyles. The only way to fix climate change would be to turn the clocks back to when we lived much simpler lives and valued our possesions, now we have far to much choice in a throwaway society.
