    A trip to a toolshop

    Our clubs get support from a couple tool stores in the form of gift cards that we draw for at our monthly meetings to raise money. Everyone says the $25 cards always cost them a hundred or more because the things we want are always more that the value of the card. 🤣 Clever way to get us in the...

    Let's discuss furniture design and fine work

    Actually the 7th picture down would fit the First Nations heritage of our prairie landscape since it resembles their teepees. Design can be heavily influenced by local history. Pete

    Planer Thicknesser - Griggio FS530

    I just noticed in the last picture (should have seen it in the earlier post) that there is what looks like a pin or shaft lower down that possibly should have a sprocket or roller. It is where the chain takes a little bend. Could something be missing there or the chain needs to be rerouted to...

    Construction of Louis XVI marble topped table

    It looks like all the carvings are applied which would allow the apron (frieze) to be screwed or nailed as suggested to the squared off corners of the legs and then the rosettes applied overtop, hiding the fasteners. That is what I think if this is a reproduction. The corner braces added for...

    Planer Thicknesser - Griggio FS530

    This was the thread. Now I'll have to reread it to see if it applies to your situation. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/advice-needed-on-a-possible-p-t-modification-to-prevent-the-chain-skipping.139106/ Pete

    Planer Thicknesser - Griggio FS530

    I searched and found one for the 430 on one site and the 530 of another but they both cost and I have no idea if they are good manuals or just sales brochures like the free ones on other sites. I also have no idea about their integrity so you have to make the decision as to whether they are...

    Where to buy cornice in the UK?

    I mocked up how it can be done. The front and back angled fences clamped solidly to the table and a thick blade cover screwed on top. I drew in the screws. Feeding in the wood until close and then switching to a push stick in the left hand gets it most of the way with a second push stick (with a...

    Where to buy cornice in the UK?

    I'm not going to shoot you down as I already suggested it but with proper attention to safety that the video dude knows nothing about. I have done it a few times with no issues and bearing wear on any decent saw should never be an issue. You are after all only removing a millimetre or two per...

    Where to buy cornice in the UK?

    The single knives are a plus actually. You only have to have one knife made without having to match multiples. Makes it cheaper to run a profile and here at least, there are hundreds available along with whatever custom profiles you need. The machine is robust enough not to be bothered by the...

    Where to buy cornice in the UK?

    You didn't specify the currency. Given that a new one with those extras is over $6,000US ($8,000Cad/£4,930) before shipping and any taxes etc, its may not be all that much overpriced. There was one recently in an online auction of a retiring cabinet shop in Regina and the bidding started at...

    Record Power BSD250 drive belt

    Like I suggested. Perhaps it would be better to switch out the pulleys for a more common profile with a belt to match. I hate manufactures that don't use off the shelf parts when they make things. Pete

    Where to buy cornice in the UK?

    They aren't common here but we have combination planer/moulders (thicknesser/moulder in you parlance) that are useful for home shops or small businesses. The Williams and Hussey types can run mouldings up to 7" wide with a 3/4" deep profile. The Woodmaster types can depending on the model cut...

    Record Power BSD250 drive belt

    I seriously doubt Record went to the trouble of making up a special belt for the machine. Take the belt to a bearing and drive specialty store and they will be able to find an equivalent. I'd rather drive a couple three hours to get the belt now rather than wait couple months to see if Record...

    Accu-Burr Burnisher

    I haven't used one as I have a chainsaw file I polished the teeth off of over 40 years ago that works nicely. I do see the advantage Accu-Burr Burnisher has being a little easier for a rookie who doesn't have someone to show them and of rolling two edges at the same time being a little faster...

    Diamond Sharpening stone

    Good news Jacob! You don't need one. Back in the 80's there was a Japanese gentleman in Seattle that sold Japanese tools out of a small shop. I went there one day and bought a gouge and some sharpening stones. He sold a common cheap coarse/fine crystolon stone (silicone carbide) that was not...
