You shouldn’t have any problems. I seem to remember running my one plus the chip extractor off the same extension lead without any problems. Thought you did need to let the planer get up to speed before turning on the extractor. I Definitely don’t recommend doing it this way but I didn’t have...

Haha, I know that feeling. I'd just been given a bit of money I wasn't expecting, so rather than fill up the beer fridge I put it towards the A3.

I upgraded to a Hammer A3. As well as the swing away tables, you can add in and out feed table extensions to it. Which at the time suited me well as I was milling a lot of long lengths.

I'm pretty sure I started off with this planer thicknesses, if not it was one very similar. It was a capable machine and did everything I asked of it. One of the problems, well not really a problem but got tiresome quickly is if you have to change between planing to thicknessing many times in...

WOW, amazing work. I really like the 3rd one that looks like boxes. The 3D effect is amazing. Well done

One, the full stop in the question mark ;)

WOW. Amazing work. I'll be watching this thread for updates, really interesting project you have going on. Keep up the good work

That must be for veneered board, like those fancy saws that have a scoring blade before the main cutting blade. :unsure: ;)

As I have just pulled out some transport bolts from a new washing machine. Just a random thought that would the lathe have anything similar. Are you able to turn the spindle by hand?

I can sympathise. Many years ago when I was young- read that as stupid! I was cutting a blank on the table saw to do some turning, at some point I had taken the riving knife out which I don’t remember doing 🤷‍♂️ Anyway the blank pinched on the blade and was fired into my ribs. Crumbs did that...

We also have these bars, which I am sure are homemade but do help lifting the cover up and out the hole.

At work we have a similar type manhole cover. We have found the only way to lift it, is by using a pry bar between the metal edges/gap to lever up a side. Once the 'seal' gets broken we have half a chance to lift it out. The best tool we have found to work the best is in the following link...

If the cane is in regular use, could the dull patch be from sweat/grease from your hand getting ingrained into the surface? Then the top coat of BLO not adhering properly to it. Sorry, no help in how to cure it but just a random thought to what might be causing it! I wonder if there are any...

The tee nuts get hammered into the wood so would stay put ref=asc_df_B094V88SST - These might be better, you screw them into the wood, which would mean they are below the surface of the wood and would probably stand up better to being transported

385138553143 - Link to butterfly screws 79359 - Link to Tee nuts I know the above links are for 5mm and 6 mm and wouldn't work together, but as an opener, are these the type of fitting you are looking for?

Classichandtools.com do the Brusso range, which have all the dimensions listed, if its of any help

You might like to research spiral router cutters. My understanding that they shear cut the wood a bit like a skew plane. I could well be wrong but it might be worth looking further into them

Something that caught me out was swapping between measuring tools. After a lot of head scratching wondering why my measurements where out, not by a lot but enough to cause problems getting things to fit. I think I had almost a 4mm difference between one particular (v cheap) tape measure...

I been playing with the idea of putting a fold up bed in our front room that hides away into a cabinet so started reading this thread with keen interest. It never occurred to me to do a horizontal bed which would be a lot better in my case. Thanks very much.

I’ve recently fallen for this, not from that advert but from a website looked legit, I ordered shoes and got a scarf!!!! But they have your card details and all sorts of transactions were tried, lucky for me I paid with an account I only keep a bit of money in just in case this happens. Uber...
