There's a couple of old crocks here keeping a couple of old crock Denfords going. Brian

Are you intending to use the same ply for all the drawer parts? Buy quality cutters individually as you need them from Wealden Tools. Brian

I've done a lot of buying and selling over the past year and I've used Ebay, local auction house and here on the forum. My order of preference is, UKW, ebay, auction house. I'd recommend trying here first. Do your homework on ebay to establish a going rate. Don't wait too long for a possible...

I have the arrangement you are aiming for on my system. The difference is that I am switching via a DOL contactor rather than a NVR. My contactor latching coil is powerful enough to pull the contacts closed when energised. I suspect the NVR coil is only strong enough to hold the contacts once...

1. 3.5mm? That is not very rigid. 2. With no previous experience I would recommend purchased iron-on veneer. It will come in pre-cut widths which will be easy to joint to get the 520mm. 3. Yes, oak can be difficult because it alternates hard and soft across the growth rings and the blade will...

It's walnut singular not plural, ie, a good source of firewood - or turning wood maybe.

Hardpoint saws? Hand drills almost extinct Abrasives - all I can remember as a kid is sandpaper and emery cloth Aerosol sprays replacing brushes for small jobs Glue applicators - Glubot😂 Electronic measuring devices (I know nothing will ever replace the ROD Jacob} Any more? I expect so Brian

Presumably the standard calls for toughened glass. Any glass supplier should be able to cut glass to your requirements and get toughened. I've been through this process several times without any difficulty. Brian

I wouldn't worry about parts. There motor is the only thing that could be faulty and if it runs it'll be OK. It probably wasn't had much use. For £65 I'd take a punt. Brian
