Do you think you might have some bias from the time? The company would have been singing the drugs praises to encourage it, the hospitals would likely have gotten a deal to use it and once committed would have also promoted it. I'd imagine most working on drug delivery systems are told how...

I think he should be fine. It’s Microsoft trying to cash in on differently encoded videos Buy HEVC Video Extensions - Microsoft Store en-GB You should be able to watch the video in many freely available video players.

Do you have one that you recommend? There are a lot out there, I wouldn’t need much.

I’d done the 1 by 1 gluing and those were all good. This is the final stage 4 and 3 glued, now a final 4 to that 7. I had planed and adjusted these two pieces but got fed up not being able to eliminate the gap. This stage is being compressed by the weight of the 7 above and a 30kg paving...

So annoying. Cutting them went ok. Then I planed until appeared flat. Lined up and slight gap in the middle. Kept planing, checking and adjusting for over an hour and just couldn’t get rid of the slight parting in the middle. Flipped it over and tried the other sides against each other in...

I’ve cut it off now. Amazed that I’d cut 5/7th of the way through and the dodgy line still held together despite all that weight. Reassures me that the rest should remain strong. I probably won’t get a chance to make any more progress until Wednesday around work now. Are winding sticks still...

I think I might have seen that video and taken some inspiration from it too. What is actually wrong with it though? It doesn't follow traditional design principles? But it looks like it would be rock solid and functional. I know no need to re-invent something that has worked for centuries, but...

Hopefully posting this link isn’t against forum rules. This is what I think I’m going for: https://www.lumberjocks.com/projects/84212 I hadn’t seen this one before. I designed mine with an amalgamation of ideas after watching some but not loads of design videos. I like the way I’ve seen...

That’s what I’d hoped with this. I’ve built it up over the last three days. 4 pieces 24 hours, then another 4, then 3. Rather than adding on a few to the bulk I did each set separately, that way I wouldn’t have to readjust the cauls for every expansion. They are fairly flimsy, but the 3 sets...

Ahh, so frustrating. Screwed up in sticking the three laminated sections together. I think there must have been some curvature in the final piece so that it wasn’t completely flat with the others. It looks almost perfect but on the 4th section in there is close to a mm gap. Perhaps if I had...

I’ve started assembly as don’t really have much time during the week days and wanted to get on. None of it is yet glued but I’ve assembled the base to get an idea of where I’m heading. I put the long horizontal beam through one of the 2x4s with a single shoulder as suggested. It will be...

Would you mind sketching what you mean? I'm can't picture what you describe. I'd like to use a combination of both. I think I'll be hand planing rather than buying a machine to do that, but many other tasks would use tools or machines. Is it not better to just build it heavy and able to...

I love the look of the ultimate workbench but I’m no where near that point yet, just starting as a hobby. I like watching what everyone is doing with a router table and table saw but can’t justify the expense yet. The man in shed video is a good one for me thanks, as you say very similar...

I suppose it seems crazy going out and purchasing a new chisel just for the extra mm. Seems all the videos demonstrating it have a chisel the same width as the mortise being made so that is what I was looking for.

Could I please have some advice on the workbench I am building. I have some planed redwood already bought. Not sure exactly what the wood is, but the most I could afford in my budget. The top is made of laminated 2x3. I want an apron on one side (just one as apart from structural reasons I...

Very happy with the results of using the clamping cauls on this test piece. Now need to scale it up. Think I need to not get carried away and try making something too thick in one go. Can see that one join isn’t as tight as the others, should I worry much about this? It was only B&Q CLS, not...

Giving it a go. I’m not laminating these for any particular purpose, just cheap CLS to see how effective it is before I make any more. This section is only about 7” long, but the total caul length is 34”, as that’s eventually the size of a table top I’d like to make. I think the caul wood I...

It does feel like pipe clamps aren't that popular any more. I have relatives in Washington and was having a quick look to see if it might even be cheaper to have them bought and posted from there, but the stores I looked at didn't even have pipe clamps any more. Plenty of parallel and sash...

I think I'll give it a go, working on some smaller pieces first before trying to laminate a workbench top. Jumping off your video I found this one: where he is using the clamping cauls and then a wedge as you suggest. Do you think an M6 wing-nut would do the trick? I don't want to use a nut...

Ah I understand now thank you. I suppose these would work well. Certainly not as expensive as some £20 clamp, but still I’d need flat planed pieces of wood, then the fixings to go through them and the time to make them. I’m not sure how to really compare that cost wise. Is there a risk of...
