Chems could you tell me what diameter is the guide bush and collar on that Trend inlay kit? I might make my own version Thanks

I have to say my first impressions of this plane are that it is outstanding. The blade took just 5 minutes with 800 followed by a 10000 stone and a veritas mk2 to make very very sharp indeed - and it then took some very fine end grain shavings. Will post photo soon. I have a couple of LNs and it...

I just used caustic soda to age some pine doors and it looks perfect - then a little briwax and it was just right Mixed up a couple of tablespoons in half a cup of water then used a cotton wool pad (gloves!) to apply it - left it for a day or so, then rubbed it down a bit and waxed it and it has...

I had the same problem and solved it instead by using self-levelling compound to build up the bits that were low so I got a good seal - worked very well

Thanks for all the replies - sounds as if it has to be air powered if it is 23G but could be electric for a 21G nailer. Mmmm tricky

I experimented a bit with it - it was not quite a saturated solution - but maybe a tablespoonful in half a cup of water. The cup got very warm and looked a bit cloudy Then I put on gloves and got those cotton wool pads which SWIMBOs take make up off with and applied it with that. I tried to put...

I have started this late I am afraid... There is a partition between 2 rooms in our house - it measures 1945mm wide by 1970mm high I saw some folding doors in a Southampton pine recycling place http://www.oldpinecompany.co.uk/acatalog/Made-To-Measure-Shutters.html and thought I could make them...

Am I right that both of those are gas-powered? I am a bit nervous about that, being a gas-powered virgin as it were! So if I went along that route, I could get the Axi headless pinner http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axminster-Headless-Pinner-30590.htm and then would this compressor be OK...

I am making some folding doors to close off a room divide (I promise I will post some photos) I have some delicate Victorian moulding which I made thanks to the extreme generosity of STEVECUV who lent me the spindle moulder cutters. There is well over 50 metres of this moulding which measures...

microwave the dominos before the dry fit - works well maybe 30s each on full power

another similar-ish option is to go the Festool CMS way. There is a tablesaw option for the CMS which allows you to invert a TS55 as a table saw. However, from time to time (I got mine a couple of years ago) an old-style Basis table comes up on ebay (I think it is the Basis 1A insert you need...

Thanks very much - I have replied with a PM

yes it would probably help but the point i was trying to make is that if you are alone in your shed and suffer a significant vascular injury, the clock is ticking in terms of you getting help and stopping blood loss. you have 5 litres or so of blood and if you lose 2 of those that is probably...

Speaking as a doc, if you are bleeding to death from a femoral arterial injury Celox powder is not going to stop it - not least of which by the time you have found the packet, opened it (requiring 2 hands) and applied the powder you would probably have passed the point of no return. Any...

Thank you Rob - I will get working on it!

I am making a folding set of doors to close an internal gap in the wall between 2 rooms. The gap is 2 metres wide so each 'door' is composed of 3 separete doors 400, 325 and 275 mm which fold in a concertina style behind the nib of wall on each side. It is similar to this...

Rob - your link, even without the full stop at the end, does not seem to lead anywhere..... I would love to attend the event as it is the first woodworking 'thing' in Oxford I have ever attended - exciting! Gasman

I need to find / make some folding doors to go into into a 2 metre wide opening between 2 rooms. On the web I found these http://www.oldpinecompany.co.uk/acatalog/Made-To-Measure-Shutters.html which look lovely - just what I wanted. However they are GBP900+VAT which seems silly to pay over a...

TB III is also runny enough to go into a 5 ml syringe and, using an 18G needle, inject into 1.6 and 2 mm grooves when inserting stringing and inlays.

OK I think I am starting to understand... So if I have got it right, then I would not need any fancy spindle moulder tooling to cut the rails and stiles. The stiles would have a groove cut down the middle the width of the raised panel, whilst the rails would have haunched tenons to fit that...
