To paraphrase #11 from @Robbo3 post 11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity There are no new jokes; the old ones just get more publicity. 🤣🤣🤣

Just came across a method in an old furniture restoration book I happened to pick up. Don't know if it's applicable to your door. It suggested gluing a veneer to the convex side. Make sure the veneer is quite damp. Then when the veneer dries it will shrink and tend to straighten the door. It...

Ah! The temperature is <>28c! What is it then? That's enough of me being pedantic 🤣 I guess you mean about or ~28c. I have always read <> as not equal to. I've got my coat on, just need to find my hat.

In my understanding the printed filament shrinks as it cools. My CEL Robox allows you to dial in a percentage increase/decrease adjustment to compensate (many reckon the Robox was years ahead of its time) though I believe lots of printers/slicers still don't have that feature. Which printer are...

You've beaten me to posting! I have exactly the same problem although mine is the door in the front of a grandfather clock that has warped in both axes. So I'll be following the discussion with interest. I hope our posts are common and I haven't hijacked yours. Martin

I can't attach a PDF copy of the manual I have for my Elektra Beckum HC260 so let's try a link to Dropbox - lets hope it gives you access should you want it. I'm not sure how much help it will be as there is virtually no mention of the chain tensioning mechanism nor how to adjust it. I've...

You'll have to wait until Stuart has woke UP! 😰😂🤣

@Superneutrino Hi! I too put yatch varnish on the oak slats of my garden bench. Looked marvellous for a year or two but then started to peel and then looked terrible. Now after probably five years it's just about all off and the oak has weathered to that silvery grey that oak goes. Looks...

I wonder how it was done in ye olden days before all this new fangled machinery? Could we learn from our forebears?

Brilliant. Cor, must have been a big, big title that fell into your obviously big pocket, don't-you-know. 🤣🤣

Sometimes one needs help to achieve their goals so next time I'm in Cambridge I'll be more than happy to pop round and help open your bottle @Richard_C 🥂🤣🤣

I'm not an electrician but I've taken several pieces of electronic equipment through type/safety testing. The idea running through all the standards is no one failure should create a dangerous situation. In this case if one level of insulation fails there is a second to keep the 'user' safe. Of...

2019 built bench 🤗 2023 built workshop 🤗 (Yes you're right I'm a smart arse) {EDIT: I typed a**e but the site changed it to buttocks but I guess you get the idea} 2024 get out there and make something that is not related to the house renovation. 🥺

Welcome @jfw27to the knot house. I'm sure you will enjoy your woodworking and get a lot from it: pleasure, satisfaction, a sense of achievement, frustration, bruises, cuts and splinters. But keep going. A word to the wise though: don't mention the 's' word, you know (I'll whisper it)...

@artie and @stuart little why don't you form and moderate Joke thread #5? We'd all understand the jokes then and not be offended by any of them. 🤣🤣

Plus other associated messages Ah well that's another great joke thread gone to the dogs The joke thread is dead. Long live the joke thread.

Bar stools often have backs. It's a stool using the definition (it might be correct 😁) that your feet cant touch the ground. Oh I can see this could go on for ages. 🤣🤣🤣

@AES . A very thorough write up. I'll be looking at that PCB soon. Martin

Finished my screw dispenser/caddy. Hung on the first French Cleat I've ever tried. Each section is a different diameter screw. Just have to look to find the length I want.

Could it have been the Facebook group Drummond/Myford Lathe owners and enthusiasts?
