Amazing precision joinery, I can only dream of getting that good....well done and thanks for sharing Cheers, Mark

Thanks for the knowledge and advice guys!

Hi, I seem to be suffering from a problem of stock that I machine to size in my workshop moving or distorting after I machine it? First noticed it on a piece of ripple sycamore that I machined to size, the blank was not distorted or twisted and I only took less than 3 or 4 mm off the surfaces to...

Outstanding bit of quality workmanship, very impressed Tiddles, Cheers, Mark

Really nice job Darren, well done.

Hi guys, here is my latest project, I made it as a present for the wife, its cherry, from some old doors that we scrapped off a job, with ripple sycamore lining. I have also used a pair of the new "smart hinges" - very nice! The bottom is lined with some alcantara and there is sliding ring tray...

Definitely the internet has been a major factor. It makes tracking down and buying these things so easy. Jacob, the gear freak point - can only speak for myself, but I would much rather use, hold and generally enjoy something made beautifully of the finest materials in preference to a bit of...

Hi, I just some nice pieces of Pippy oak, from British hardwoods ( good service BTW!) . Some of the pippy bits have some small openings and I was wondering what you guys would recommend to use to fill them over before finishing? Cheers, mark

Hi Sgian, if I was to try the bleach approach, how would you go about this -IE what concentration of bleach, how long, total immersion in bleach etc etc ?

Problem is, its the sort of wood you would use for nice showy bits. I had plans for a coffee table and some nice drawer fronts, but sadly don't think it will be suitable for either. Cant think what else to do with it. Can you? I have asked the seller what he can about it, hopefully come to some...

So basically, I have brought a duff bit of wood then...?

Hi, I recently purchased a nice slab of ripple sycamore and have cut a piece to use as the top of a small coffee table I am making. After planing up the piece, I have noticed grey marks through the wood, and wondered, if this was normal, what they are and if they can be removed. They seem to be...

Think I have sussed the rail mountings , thanks guys. Now just need to try and get to grips with using it!! And great link to Aldels site, Thx again!!

Hi, I just brought a WR900 from a forum member, but am having trouble setting it up? In particular, there are two aluminium flat guide bars that the base plate slides in, that on the website and in the instructions, are shown as being flush with the front edge of the base plate. When I fit mine...

Hi Douglas, looks great, congrats on your new tool, shame I missed seeing it in the flesh, will have to be patient and wait for mine to arrive.. I have ordered one with Zebrano handle - bit bling, but it looked great on that saw they had on the website. I have also ordered a fine joinery saw...

Hi, I hesitate to add my opinion here, as I am but a novice in the world of sharpening etc, despite being a carpenter/shopfitter for the last 30 years, believe it or not, I never used chisels & hand planes much, (routers for machining door hinges and lock plates etc) anyway, so I never sharpened...

The only thing I can add ( I have both models ) is that while great for heavier cuts such as solid timber tops and rip cutting doors down, the 75 is a bit of a beast. Hell of a powerful motor, so be very careful of kickback and starting plunge cuts. If the 55 ever verges on kickback, you can...

hi Douglas, please give us some pictures of the finished masterpiece... I would also be interested in any plans you had, I have ordered a Maguire tail vise as well and really fancy making another bench to fit it in, I like the design of yours. I have Chris Schwarzs book on order so will have...

Nice job Chris, I recently did a bandsaw box myself for the first time, they are great to do and can look way more complicated than they really are!! My fave is the double drawer one. Cheers, Mark
