Jona, I do not mean an air filter that you hang from the ceiling, I mean a fully functioning chip extractor system with a HEPA filter down to 0.3mu. It is madness to partially clean the air, exhaust the half clean air (with dangerous fine dust particles) into the path of your lungs and then...

It would depend upon the port on the router table and drum sander as well as the recommended cfm for the drum sander. Given what you said earlier about the nature of your construction and worries about humidity I wonder if you need a clean air system with 0.3mu minimum filtration system. I...

Jona As you are building a new shed can you either put the extractor outside or build a dedicated housing for the extractor and vent to the outside. you can then use a lower spec filter as you will not be breathing the exhaust air and fine dust. The advantage is a larger volume cfm and how...

I would suggest LPHV for the P/T, Tablesaw and drum sander and a power tool vac for all the power tools The reality is HPLV struggles with the P/T and LPHV will not reduce to suck through 32mm pipe

With or without a crosscut sled the risk is that the Dowel becomes an arrow travelling 60 to 100mph with you 1 yard away. That will penetrate flesh and I have seen the result. It might be mind numbingly boring to use a handsaw, but you are unlikely to end up in A&E

Narrow filler knife can be made by remodelling a putty knife on the belt sander or look on Amazon for oil painting spatula set

The handrail could be made by laminating. You would need to make a former replicating the shape of the line of the handrail and then make strips of wood say 2 or 3mm thick that are pliable enough to bend around. Glue them all together to make the shape and then make the profile of the handrail...

Err No. Not where I was trained it was a commercial shop with serious pressure to be efficient. But we were taught to have pride in our tools and respect them as they were the route to efficiency and told a lot about the attitude of the owner. A chisel is a precision cutting tool - why ruin it...

I cannot understand the logic, if time is money why would you ruin a good edge that took time to sharpen and hone to apply 2 pack or remove glue. If you did any such activity where I was trained and the foreman saw you, you would be lucky to be in work the following day. You can buy plastic...

I am not sure it is worth it for cladding. The nails have to be stainless steel so for a nail gun you will have to buy a lot. Cedar is soft so getting the right depth may be a faff. You do not put that many nails in each board. I have recently clad large areas of my house with T&G Cedar and...

Very interesting results. I am pleased it works.

Have you looked at the Worksharp, it is available through Rutlands in the UK. I use it for regrinding chisels and Plane Blades, I bought the DMT plates. It is a reasonable speed to regrind.

I always assumed it was because otherwise it could restrict the minimum internal radius. I have the same Stanley compass plane as you and find it a pleasure to use.

Thank you for the pictures. Could you explain the purpose of the metal duct. On the face of it the three sharp 90 degree bends and the loop into the fan are likely to cause a significant loss of air flow. So why not just run straight duct at a lower level?

Are we talking English planer or American planer. From googling TPT125 it comes up with a thicknesser in UK speak. It looks like the blades are not a sharp as they should be or you are taking too much off each pass or the shavings are not clearing. Whilst you can take a few MM off at a time it...

Very posh! Close 'orse in North Notts

A variation to suite modern life is to make one large frame and two half frames. The airer can then be placed near a radiator, oven or Aga and not take too much space. I have made 3 to this revised design (still using webbing). The size works better in modern kitchens, halls and utilities. I...

just a guess but the sticky brown stuff would be a linseed oil based varnish?

T track sounds a good way to go then you can clamp stops etc in front of the fence. All I did was cut a slot in my fence to allow the 15mm movement. Design development!
