Just dug it out new old stock Klockner Moeller T3

No one should find it offensive to ask a question. I think it all comes down to learning how, I am not deaf but my wife is totally blind she is a chess player and plays with people all over the world and there are some players that are blind / deaf in the groups she plays, so someone has to...

Yes I would agree you can't stop wood moving a change of timber looks like could be the best move, If the timber is not seen could it be replaced with ply more stable and you could still make the same joints.

If there is inconsistency a few question's to ask is something being stored in the box that could affect the wood? is the box finished inside?

Might help to do a test joint without the vinyl to see what is happening, sounds like the board is shrinking?

So sorry for your loss, I know how you all must feel it brings it all back with a tear in my eye a lump in my throat I lost my girl a few years ago a border collie, I could never get another one like her. Mya would have had a good life with you all. Phill

As an add-on to my earlier post here are a few images they were all taken by camera at the time so please excuse the attempt to re-take from those. All the items were made from the old timber from demolition NO new wood was used at all, the time span was early 1970's to late 1990's. Beams were...

One of the best chemical cleaners I have used is DEOX-C made by Bilt Hamber it is a safe alternative being non-toxic and biodegradable, mix with hot water and soak the metal between 20 minutes to overnight depending on corrosion, then clean under running water with a stiff or wire brush, if you...

Sparking of the contacts could have burnt some making it hard to use, pity you are t'other side of world I have a new old stock one in the drawer that was a backup for a 5 hp 3 phase re-saw.

Would not advise only ledges they will sag without the braces. Wide ledges in place of braces would add to the weight and still sag over time.

Find a local farmer great for bedding animals on. Or a gardener makes good compost. What about the free lists/ recycleit there is always someone looking out for compost materials

I got involved with reclaimed timber in the 1970's a now well know window screen fitter had them imported in large packing cases with timber boards up to 12" wide 1" to 2" thick by 14 feet long his yard soon got full, I organised a truck to go and pick some up and when they were delivered back...

Wrap the motor shaft with some .20 mm steel gauge shim stock then the blade should be a nice tight fit on the shaft.

Yes this is very quick to use:

You have two dissimilar metals , this forms a corrosion and is called galvanic, soak the joint in say WD 40 after a while heat the ally from the front, it won't hurt the bearings, in the faceplate put a bolt through that you can hit and lock the outboard end somehow then hit the bolt down sharp...

Who's to say it was dog's marking ? I used to work on a farm and had a wood store for my oak and I used to get horse urine and leave buckets of the stuff around to colour the oak.

That's how the river got it's name "Wye the East coast"

Wipe over the stain with a damp cloth to see if it wets the wood each side of the wax slide that should tell you if you have any other treatment on, if the wood shows wet then use some Mentholated spirits on a folded paper towel and try to hold the towel in place over the wax slide to leach it...

Hi welcome, I like the benches they do look well, not so keen on the table but hey everyone's different. Keep up the good work.

If you drag the screen over UK then shut down when you open again the default is UK well it is here.
