Now that you're free over the bank holiday you can come to the Deerhurst Flower Festival where I will be exhibiting my clocks in Odda's Chapel. Brian

I keep an eye sales at HJ Pugh in Ledbury. There you can search for past sales hammer prices. Have a look at this. I would estimate that yours would go for no more than £50 a piece and fees would have to come out of that. Brian

If you fancy a pair of sash cramp heads as in the above video, I have a spare pair. I'm sure we could come to an agreement that would meet with your good wife's approval AND allow purchase of more of the lovely hardwood (although not much at today's prices). Brian

Thanks. It was something to do on a very hot afternoon. I did a bit of work in the workshop in the morning but soon flaked. Brian

This is how I would make the curved ends. I would use the method I used for my very first laminating project; the curved elements of this bed:- It's a method that can be done at leisure, ie, no panicking to get clamps in place. A few preliminaries:- 1. The 400mm height is a big ask. I would...

Several questions arise in my mind. 1. Is it laminating with thin laminae in which case the 40cm is going to be a challenge. 2. Is it to be steam bending with solid wood in which case the 40cm is going to be a challenge. 3. What are the 4 proposed sections. 4. What is the purpose of the item...

Yep, they haven't moved. Send me a PM with your details Brian

I've had these blades hanging around for too long. If anybody would like them for the cost of the postage, shout. If not they'll be in the bin. Brian

There's another one on the market by Magswitch which has the advantage of some height to keep the stock vertical. I've contemplated buying one of these but the need for veneer cutting hasn't arisen in recent years. It would be quite easy to make one with a couple of bearings. some tube and a...

Reminds me of my very first lesson in the school woodwork shop, aged 11. It was how to sharpen a pencil using a chisel. H&S was uppermost in his mind long before the infamous legislation arrived. He said that the best way was to use the rotary sharpener mounted on his desk, but with all these...

And/or hearing aids (and in my case)

You say you're losing flow at the machines which is causing them to block up. Does that mean air is being drawn in elsewhere from the machine in use? Do you have blast gates on all machines? Brian

There is this type which could be used with no mods required to the chassis but they're pretty rare. I've seen one in use at caravan dealers. Brian

I don't think the wedge taper angle is important. All the wedge is doing is forcing the tenon side strips into mortise gap. The wedge length is not critical either but it needs be short enough to avoid hitting the end of the saw cut. The most important dimension is that of the thick end of the...

Today I added a drip bar over one of the doors and got stated with the felt shingle cladding:-

Tom, I'm presently doing some restoration and improvement to my external double doors so your thread caught my eye. Here are some pics of features that may help with your thought process:- The basic door fits inside the frame and the external weatherboard cladding overlaps the outer face of...
