I bought these hinges for an urn I made earlier this year. Very impressed with them. https://www.prokraft.co.uk/premium-solid-brass-side-rail-hinges.html

I was always of the understanding that the job of the fixings was to pull the two pieces of wood together, then the resultant friction between the two pieces of wood is what holds it in place.

I use the small push fit plumbing pipe fittings for my power tool and smaller machine extraction - which goes via the shop-vac. They are very cheap like £1 each and I just fit one of them to the outlet of each tool and machine, then my extraction hose can be swapped around into each machine as...

100% but people buy new tools and sell them for all sorts of reasons - more money - going to be using tools for their business so valuable to have warranty etc and to know they have something out of the box less likely to go wrong etc - don't know how to repair or maintain things Its basically...

Having gone through the process of repairing a second hand bandsaw which somehow ended up with worn out bearing hubs in the wheels, unknown as to the cause but potentially something like this could have contributed, I always make sure to untension my bandsaws when they arent in use

I bought this router cutter set a month ago to make some shaker style cabinet doors and drawer fronts. I wasn't too sure about how well it would go having never tried anything like this before, but I made myself a router table top for my 1/2" triton router and finally got round to doing it...

I really rate my festool TS55 track saw which was the first festool tool I bought. I use it with the makita tracks which are identical to the festool ones but half the price. The dust extraction is impeccable, 98% or better. The saw just works well. They are just well designed tools which are...

Just wondering, before you start going at it with a router, is there a risk there might be some nails in the frame? Separately, it would probably be best to take the frame off and then do the operations you discuss with your router mounted in a table.

I use my dewalt trim router with this rabbeting set sometomes, works fine. Remember that the larger the bit you are using, the slower the speed you want to run it (as the tip moves faster than the middle - tip further from bit = faster!) https://routercutter.co.uk/multi-rabbeting-set

That is a very posh version of exactly what I need! I should be able to make one out of a bit of scrap wood, however @Britman I am more than happy to take the measurements if you genuinely want the practice on your CAD though!

I suppose I could retrofit a t track into the front of my fence, although there wouldn’t be much clearance at the dust extraction area. I think some kind of L bracket will have to be the way to go - maybe I can mount some short t track sections on a block or something.

I have a very small workshop and whilst I have a compact table for my 1/4" router I don't have any way of mounting my 1/2" in a table. I have some projects coming up which will need a 1/2" in a table, so I made this table-top. The idea was that with the router removed, the top will be able to...

I have a very small workshop and have to be very creative with space-saving measures. I have a project at the moment which requires a 1/2" router table, I only have a small router table for my palm router so had to make something to use my larger one. I made a table-top for my 1/2" using the...

Would a small second hand CNC like this do the job (https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1101941434117621/). Only £280 and would be able to make accurate repeatable cuts

I;ve never had him answer his phone, but he usually replies to emails within 24h or so

I think I would do similar to what you are suggesting for that. Is there any reason that you couldn't use some large threaded inserts (like these), firstly installing the inserts which you could glue in too, and then glueing the studs in place. I have never had much success with the cheapo...

a 3/8 or 1/2 inch blade is proabably fine for what you are trying to do. The more important bit here is the tooth count, as explained above you need an appropriate TPI for the material thickness, in this case between 4-6TPI. If you are trying to cut it with a 12TPI blade it will not work well at...

So the bandsaw is a piece of equipment that you could use to do that, so long as it is set up right. (If you have access to a table saw that might be a better option though.) Make sure you are using the fence on the machine, and make sure that you have set it up so that the piece you want is in...

@Niall can you kindly explain a bit more about what you are doing, are you trying to add a chamfer to your piece of 2x2 like in the photo below? If this is the case then a 1/4" router would be the ideal tool for doing that, using a bearing guided chamfer bit (such as this one which is at 30...

I think you need to give some more details and a description of what you are trying to achieve? what stops you pushing the workpiece through using the table on a tilt?
