Hi, we just got awarded a pretty nice job, extension and refurb, part of which involves a sliding door. They wanted it made of timber, but it will be pretty big - one fixed panel approx 2.0 m and one sliding panels approx 2.0m. ( Total of approx 4m opening) I was dubious about doing it in wood...

Very good, well done. I really like the original as well, not looked at his site, ( bit busy now, maybe later......... but what are the side rails made of?

Yes, I could, but each plane is different ( which means the cabinet wont have continuity of design - not a massive issue but something to consider..) and I don't have a lot of space at the bottom of the cubby holes, so am limited slightly in the design & thickness of the heel plates. I spent a...

OK, another installment.......... I managed to make sure it all fitted and got it glued up and then mounted on the wall. I don't have pictures of the back, as I hung on the wall before I took them, and I am using it wall mounted to do the rest of the build, so will post the pictures of the back...

Hi, I am pondering the best way to hold my planes in their sloped cubby holes for the cabinet I am making. They each sit on a 6mm MDF platform, that is lined upside with 2-3mm cork sheet. I brought some 15mm rare earth magnets from Axminster, but they don't work through the wood. Are there any...

Hi Gary, just drop me an email or call, contact details are on our website, link in the sig......I have my grandfathers old toolchest with most of his old patternmakers tools....I am sure you would love a look. Let me know what you have currently for sale, cheers, Mark

If its useful to anyone, they have relaxed the regs to make it so that as long as the work is done by a "competent person" then you or someone else can do notifiable work and get it checked and certified by another electrician. previously the person doing the work had to certify........

I think you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.....They are not that bad, great service, fantastic product range,, as well as many good deals and low prices plus, as pointed out, it was pretty clear from the advert it was an in store only deal........I don't think they have tricked...

Hi Custard, I think I may end buying one of the clamps in the next promotion, as you say, the quality is very good. What about any of the aigner gear? have you got any / know anyone who has ? cheers, Mark

Without looking on the blood and gore, I would say approx 1910 -1925 Will be a good one whatever, I would buy it if condition is OK. Not any real difference in price between any of the later types that I have seen, Cheers, Mark

Well, you could use for either, what is important is that whatever you are ripping is securely held without being able to move, exactly parallel to the sliding table, meaning you don't have to use the machines rip fence, ( I do use this as a bump stop though sometimes then wind it back slightly...

Hi Gary, that's cool, never knew you were there....I am just around the corner. We should meet up, I am very much a collector of old stuff. You may want to pop by my place and look at some of my stuff and I can reciprocate with a look around your shop.......

No....apart from it was not there when you looked! I got called out midway through the post and have just finished the thread off...Sorry! Its there now!

Hi , I just got one of these amazing machines ordered all the bits I thought would be useful from the accesories and was very happy....until I got it set up and started to use it. Its a big step up for me, coming from using a site saw and Festo guide rail system for all my ripping and sizing up...

Sure, I started a new thread under jigs and tips section, Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the helpful advice guys! I am sure to be taking you up on your kind offers in the not to distant future! its a bit of a steep learning curve, but as you say great machines and lots of potential. I have already made myself an extension table, clamping, mitre gauge and secondary...

Hi everyone, I have not had much time lately to make anything of any note, but the arrival of my new Felder CF741 Pro universal machine has filled me full of enthusiasm and made me put aside some time as often as possible to crack on make this project, which I have been planning for some while...

Hi, I think I am pretty internet and forum savvy, but am having real trouble with this one. having just become the proud owner of a new CF741 pro machine, I was advised to join the group. Have done so, but when I log in, all I get is a stream of individual replies to various posts in...

I think it's pretty cool...but somewhat overpriced for a mass ( well, maybe not mass, but certainly not bespoke..) market tool from a company that is aiming to sell a lot....as people have noted, its up there in Holtey territory , price wise. And I know what I would prefer if I was dropping over...

Thanks guys, great advice as usual, not decided yet as to best method, I need to cogitate some more on the design...... Longinthetooth...thanks, not sure how I missed those......
