So it looks like No1 is a clocker now the question is "whos clocker have we clocked" we wait in anticipation but hopefully not too long.

Is is hardening and less wear resistance?

Hi, I used to have one it looks like the spring has been changed mine had a full length spring with a tension screw at the top peg, no chain. You need the spring on to to balance it stop the arm from wandering down on it own.

The better quality of HSS every time you can grind the edge to suit the work, grind a coated and you have lost the coating except in the flutes. For the tougher materiel you can grind a carbide masonry drill I have drilled through leaf springs from a lorry before no problem.

Hi, what size drill bit do you need I have some long ones that I think should cut to full depth, I can check depending on dia. Regarding drilling through if you don't have a lathe you could hold the wood between two centres and rotate it with a hand drill and feed the bit into the work without...

Should be more like a bar stool single rod with a thick flared out base.

Nice job done correctly (just lately had some discussions with so called fitters about how to hang a braced door they had no idea)

This is what i used Elu Super jaws it is so versatile and folds up to transport.

Not enough information is like shooting yourself in the foot (bun foot) :mad:

Come on chaps let put the past behind us for a while before this get changed to the History channel and get back into jokes. Question: how many bright spark's does it take to light a light bulb?

Hi Tom, I can see a couple of points that need to be sorted before you will get a straight through cut, 1: is the type of vise you are using is all wrong you need a flat vice made to use on a drill like this one. If you look at your image it looks like the handle end is tipping down try taking...

Simple rule: You always look from the braced side of the door to decide if left or right, if brace starts out bottom right that is where you fit the hinge (so that makes it a Right hung door) Just had this discussion with my sisters workmen two different fitters and both did not know how to...

Thanks DW, " In the case where you have that type of loose curl, the wood is less dense. Even dyes are going to accentuate the pattern maybe more than you want" This is the problem I am having, just been taking to a friend and he has said try a food colouring you can get a gel in a tube that...

Sorry I should have said I tried spirit stain and I don't seem to be able to control it it soon sinks in and drys. This is the wood and the natural patterns in it lend itself to use as the waves in the sea.

What would you use to stain a whitewood the colour of the sea a bluey/green.

Why did it run you down :) :)

Many thank Derek it was the "Maple" that interested me.

Derek, Can I ask please under the the words" The third box appears to have lost its open end :) " the two images below what is the name of that white wood.
