A table saw! Ah such luxury if only I had the space. I have a shooting board for 90 and 45 but that is for cross grain joints and I can't quite fathom how to plane longitudinally with a consistent angle to suit the long segment. Have to give that some thought.:unsure:

Using your method I can reduce wastage considerably but may I ask, how did you fettle the segments once cut? Sanding, planing?

Point taken. None intended.

True....expensive, but true!

If you look closely chaps the wine is zero alcohol.... or is that any oxymoron?

No 3 looks like Stormont

Intriguing. I can feel myself being drawn in. I've been playing with a segmented bowl but larger blocks/veneers with a lot of wastage when hollowing so your method looks much more economical than mine. Here is a smaller tester I did earlier but scaling up would make it quite pricey.:cry:

Er! How do I send a PM?

Can anybody help? With the sad closure of Toolpost recently, on my wishlist was a Beall spindle tap M33 x 3.5 which they stocked. My question is, are there any other Beall stockists in the UK who may have said tool? Any help welcome?

Hi I did this recently with great success. Soda about a tablespoon per gallon. Negative to the object being derusted and positive to the sacrificial anode. Loadsa vids on youtube i.e.

Thanks Ttrees/pcb 1962. Please be aware that I am not trying to hijack Adrik's post. I was merely trying to point out the pitfalls of purchasing without scrutinising the actual product, and the response from manufacturers (or label sticker onners) when design faults are highlighted. In my...

Caveat emptor Re 14" bandsaws I was looking around back in June and was leaning towards buying the Record BS350 at £750. Then I found the Charnwood B350 which seemed remarkably close in spec with the advantage(?) of using a 1" blade over the Record 3/4" and about £100 notes cheaper. I went for...

Thanks Droogs - I knew there would be a catch!

I am by no means expert, but I saw this on youtube and thought I'd give it a go. Result was as shown on the vid and I suspect if it works for you it'll be cheaper and quicker. Just a thought.
