She's not wearing any safety trousers. S

I'm not sure that I understand what you are describing. If I remember that machine correctly, it has Lifters. Lifters are screws that sit in the blade slot of the cutter head. The edge of the screw head locates in a slot in the blade and a threaded hole in the bottom of the blade slot. By...

That the embodiment of everything that is wrong with YT woodwork. But look at the numbers. Unbelievable. :(

Lots to like, lots to wince at, I'd say. I like the Roubo-one-side-apron-the-other. I've been thinking of doing exactly that for my next bench (there was never going to be a next bench, but I am noticeably shorter than I was when I built mine and it also has woodworm, so I need to get my finger...

The problem with that is one of Intellectual Property Rights. From The High Society.com: CouchTuner is a pirate site, and all of their TV episodes appear to be illegal. This can result in legal repercussions for you depending on where you live. ... In the United States and Europe, you could...

I recently pressed some wardrobe doors and I used greenhouse polythene. 6m x 2m, IIRC. Only 0.25mm thick, compared to 0.5mm for my proper bag, but it worked fine.

This is going to sound harsh. It not meant to be, just realistic. A skilled teacher is going to want at least £30 per hour for their time. An unskilled (yet! :)) labourer costs just minimum wage (and is probably not worth even that, to start with). There is a huge disparity in term of time one...

Yes, it's called a Single-Point Fence. It enables you to steer the cut as you progress.

If we are having a meet-up, count me in.

True, Peter, true. But that compares with less than 1% of my subscribers over a week. I'm glad that you find it worthwhile. I just wish that I was as good at it as you are. S

I wish them well, I really do. But being a woody journalist is, I am coming to concede, no longer a career option. My first article was published in the Jan97 issue of GWW. It was one page about the fine line between the difference of design inspiration and plagiarism. I got paid £100 and was...

I've not had a TV for over 8 years. I don't think that my life is lacking anything as a result. Indeed, when I go over a my friend's house and the telly is on it really annoys me. I don't like it. You do not need a TV license just because you have a television set in the house. You DO need a...

Well, without doing a Finite Element analysis on it (I never did understand that, even though I worked for PAFEC for 7 years), but your span is not huge, so if your joinery is sound, I would not expect problems. MRMDF is significantly better for this sort of thing than MDF (and I think MDF would...

That's about it really. It is worth what someone is willing to pay, and if it is cut to a convenient size and planed up, it is worth more, possibly a lot more (double?) than the raw material. If I were running a timber yard that is what I would expect. As a general rule, manpower costs more...

Fair enough, Lofty, take as you find. Can you tell me what you paid? Oak-flavoured MDF is something that I have bought recently. S

I don't know if they still do, but Ercol used to use a lot of elm. I wonder how they kept their table tops flat?

LOL! Where did that come from? And I thought it was just me :)

Sorry, no idea, it's not the sort of stuff I would buy. But isn't that about 6.5K per cubic meter, or £185 per cu ft? Sounds expensive to me.

And finally, Part 10 - the one tying up the loose ends. X6HyklG6Lfg
