Engraved some cork coasters and needed to put em in something neat, so, came up with design for asda hex coaster box. No glue, all friction fit.

Made one as a small planter stand. Son wanted to see how it works, so knocked it out of 5mm plywood. 165mm square. Post pics later.

Well, technically it would be 100% correct too. Infrared beam.

All comments are very fair. MikeG: I'm not here to persuade you, i'm here to hear your thoughts on the subject. As for "pushing a button for instant result", nope, not as easy as that. There's a lot going on before you push the button. Science behind lasers which needs to be applied even in...

I was wondering what is the opinion of using laser cutters in traditional woodworking ? I'm of sign making and graphics background, but always dabbled and was interested in the art of woodworking. A year ago i bought myself a relatively large laser cutter, started whole research of its uses...

1. Would pva grab fiberglass (i dont think so, but hey...) Clingfilm yey, if it comes to that. 2. Plywood is 45mm thick with about 5mm of white glassy surface, completely flat. Unless i introduce some debris in between the plates, there is nothing to imprint. 3. Yeah, thought about warping, but...

The link you mention pieces are too small. Business cards typical dims are 90x50. Went on ebay anyway. Bought 24 sheets of cherry 195x155, see what comes of it. I'll need to glue two plys crosswise and then engrave/cut. Any tips on laminating such thin materials ? My plan is to gob on pva and...

Most companies i contacted wouldnt allow anyone in the shop with a knife :D I know basic woodworking, but there is no certificate that says "allow this man with a knife into your shop", sadly :D Thats the general idea, difficulty being finding material to play with. Operative word being...

I figured most professional people wouldn't buy in small amounts. In my case, i have no clue what i'm doing. I'm in full research mode at the moment, so, lots of silly questions incoming :D And as per usual, starting out i have no capital to just stock up, hence me looking for small quantity...

Hello UKWS inhabitants. Recently i got interested in making some veneer cards and try my hand at marquetry, but for the life of me cant find a place to buy veneer in smaller sheets than full for reasonable price. Ebay/amazon offer only small scraps for quite a bit of money. I'd be interested in...

Actually i'm thinking that for that sort of money i'd go small saw, something like ax ts200 or something. State of AGS is bad externally, i expect it to be even worse internally. 500 is a bit much for a piece of rust. However being in Northern Ireland doesnt help with availability... Getting...

I'm being offered Wadkin AGS-250-300. As far as i know its three phase but easily converts to single phase (standard foot mounts?). Generally its in poor state, sat for a long time in open (but roofed) shed so table is rusty. At least. Tomorrow going to inspect it more thoroughly, today was too...

Yeah i was initially worried about absence of Luna tools online too. However, since apparently JCB do not stand behind their brand of B&Q sold tools i decided to go with overall sturdier product that has been offered to me at my budget (hence Luna). JCB dont even list the saws on their website...

Ended up getting Luna BMS 250s. I'm actually amazed at the build quality. After handling JCB for a bit (at the b&q, no actual cutting) and comparing it to Luna one JCB seems really cheap and tacky. The most surprising thing of all, except for lack of plastic (which by itself is a feat O_o), was...

I'm about to buy a sliding mitre saw. B&Q at the moment offer two JCB ones i'm interested in, mostly due to my budget: 255mm http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/power-tools/ ... d=13649361 and 210mm http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/power-tools/ ... d=13649362 I'm inclined to get bigger one for bigger...

I'm still undecided about roof cover, looking for box profile tin to cover it in. As for joist spacing, i used what i have so had to spread out a bit. Plus, i will be adding noggins to support osb of course. roof is still in design stage. The shed will be insulated, walls and roof. Will see...

v3 redesign in view of changed material sizes (metric instead of imperial materials, some additions/changes in design). http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/ ... ab189cfd4e Now thinking of ways to close slope gap and make it warm.

I was thinking sealing edges with lots of oil based paint or some such. Was i thinking wrong ? Sometime in the future osb walls will get covered in box tin profile, or something that covers osb. Shiplap, tin... what else is there ?

No i havent and now its too late anyway...

Its happening ! Just bought most of materials needed to build my v2 design (panel built). Roof is still undergoing design, because i acquired a 1x2m fixed window(or rather half of double sliding door) and now need to redesign slope to allow better water shedding. Also, since i decided to go...
