@custard very sorry to hear of this experience. I am taking onboard your advice re fire extinguisher etc - I do have one, but currently just wondering where it is! Regarding Felder service, your experience is poor. I am a recent joiner to the Felder/Hammer fold having bought a Hammer...

That is not quite right - cables can be vertically or horizontally in line with fixtures as well as in the corner and top of wall zones as already mentioned (they are now called prescribed zones). Here is a useful picture But @Spectric is correct otherwise in saying they can be anywhere if...

OSB would do the job, but it doesn’t paint easily - so a bit more effort there - I would probably still go for the OSB. Cheers

@deema Here is a couple of examples I have done. The oak understairs door is just a board thickness - that one starts with quite a sharp chamfer that then runs out to nothing about halfway along the sloping length. The painted wardrobe door has a reducing chamfer along the full length of the...

Great sympathies with this predicament. You probably do not want to add too many more details at the present time. I am reminded of an experience a cousin had with a bike that was stolen from the back of a car in a multi story car park. It had some quite recognisable (and valuable) features...

I am only an occasional user for projects but am a complete convert to using a cutting service. There seem to be.a number of these - I have seen Cutwights highly recommended. They offer a very wide range and include board prices on their website - I cannot say how keen these prices are (as...

@deema I have done this - if you can wait til Wednesday (cos I’m not there at the moment), I can send you some pics which might help you to gauge the chamfer required. Otherwise it is just a trial and error exercise. Cheers

Insulate as well as possible behind the wardrobe plus a vapour barrier as has been suggested already. I chanced upon this video yesterday, being interested in internal insulation solutions - looks a sad case that certainly indicates the risks - the product featured may be alright, I don’t know...

I have successfully milled aluminium with a router on my Woodrat - made a very clean and precise cut… … this was unintended as it was the Woodrat that got machined! (Fortunately only a small bit by the dust extraction chute). However, I think I would tackle a small milling of aluminium on the...

I wasn’t clear on what the operator was doing - definitely looked sketchy. I guess that the tenons had been cut on the bandsaw, then he was cleaning them up as far as the blade would reach on the spindle moulder (which would then require the remaining area to be cleaned up with a chisel or...

Well La Scholar was inside holding the vacuum nozzle. But there wasn’t a huge amount of wood to remove.

I have been around long enough to know there are many ways to skin a cat and that people can get a bit evangelical over their particular preferences, but I am always interested to learn. I enjoy this guy’s plane-making videos and was interested to watch this one on his sharpening method on an...

This proved to be a very helpful thread for me; so thank you to: - @johnnyb for raising the questions that were germane to my problem - @TRITON for linking to a very good deal on some chisels - @ChaiLatte for linking to some very good deals on the Katsu router and offset base etc (unbelievably...

Yes, the OP has not returned. Anyway, I think this was referred to earlier (see from about 2.00 minutes in): I have one of these blocks with my Hammer saw/spindle moulder - it is a Whitehill combi cutter block sold by Felder. I have yet to use it as the video shows (I would want a proper...

[A specialist item only likely to be of interest to owners of a Scheppach TS4010 table saw (just possibly other models, although I don't know).] I have sold my Scheppach TS4010 and now have the slotting /dado kit that the buyer of my saw did not need. This is the kit that was sold by...

Looks like it was sold on eBay - £1,950 Cheers

Gosh, I thought - that is expensive - I will link to the set I got from Axminster (years ago) that must be cheaper …. https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-optical-centre-punch-100244 Hmm - I really don’t recall what I paid for mine, but it is an absolutely excellent tool (only let down by...

The OP explains what he is doing in his linked thread re external insulation (an unconventional installation). I have just had a look at that. The routing discussion above is all very interesting, but for the problem in hand, are I-beams actually required? I cannot comment on the insulation...

Well, not everything is about price (but I did buy mine with a 15% eBay discount, which helped me justify it to myself). And I did consider making up something myself, but this is nicely made. As I said, I have used the two-fence method, but depending on what you are doing, the fences don’t...

I have used the two-fence setup, and that is basically what I would do for the task, but for completeness, this is a better solution: https://ffx.co.uk/Product/Get/Festool-495246-4014549096345-Routing-Aid--Of-Fh-2200?msclkid=e5013d74a1021f6452f2584f2b3dba11 Expensive, yes, but a delight to...
