Good thread Yes.... im a zombie right now 😆 Technology has in many ways ruined life, as well as improving it. Too much screen time changes the way kids brains work and is linked to challenging behaviour ( i found this researching possible causes for our middle child, whos 6, and has developed...

It looks good 👍 Are they through tenons on the rails? Setting the hinges over them wont affect structural integrity but a router would be easier than setting them with a chisel 😁

Hi jim, deema and sideways have done quite a few rip down and rebuilds, not quite sure how you search for those specifically, but always detailed and well thought out work 🙃

How did that lock set go?? Did you update the thread?

🙂 i dont think ive ever seen 4 hinges other than on stable doors! I do 6, 9 and the 3rd centred, but i think in europe they keep they 3rd hinge nearer the top.... i guess to transfer the load where it pulls the most, but personally i can't see it'd make any difference?

I havent been yet! I keep thinking i will but im always busy 🤔 im going past on sunday, but i guess theyll be closed? And coming back tuesday evening 😔 Maybe if you all email them, they'll stay open late, just for me? 😆😁

Yep, the frame / lining is very important with 3 or more hinges.... imagine the edge ( not face ) of the lining has a slight bow inwards, 2 hinges ( top and bottom ) will be more or less in line, but that centre hinge will be offset by whatever that bow is if you use the frame/ lining as a...

Yup. I remember reading that one and thinking maybe I'd try when ive got ( 🤣 probably when ive retired, but i figure I'll probably be pushing up daisies before i can stop work ) They are beautiful, it must be very satisfying using them, knowing you made them

What are the doors? Painted? Stained?

Awesome job on the hats, love the magnet idea.... i prefer the flat one 🙃

There was a truly amazing thread a couple of years back where a guy made a gorgeous brass plane

Mjn have some big kit 😍 They often supply timber ready prepped ( dimensioned ) to joiners for window frames, doors etc which cuts down on shop time

Part of the decision of crank offset ( backset depth ) can also be based on the width of the stiles of the door. Id go 3" and check the load rating on the hinges... if you have heavy doors you may want 3 x 3" hinges per door, but the hinges will probably be rated to cope as a pair. As for the...

Could tinted osmo oil be an option? They do lots of colours

I bought a 352 about a year ago, mines got a weedy motor too! I sold a kity 613 that I'd put a new motor on ( 1.5hp instead of the original 1hp) and i was very suprised to find the startrite had a small motor.... I'd have to check, but ive got a feeling its a 750 or 920w? I actually havent had...

Well done, youve obviously been learning a fair bit 👏 In terms of the money offset..... is it still a good deal? I bought a irwin record block plane ( new, but dead cheap off ebay ) and it took a lot of effort to make it useable.... if i had simply worked an extra afternoon, i could have...

Just watch that. 5 minutes and you'll have it done

I think id use rafters..... not sure of the wind profile in your garden, but in mine it'd take off so more weight and fixings for me

Great find! Have fun!
