    Winder Staircase problems with design

    If the right hand string is not against a wall then it must have a handrail and spindles or other method of preventing a fall. I would build a structure from Newel posts at each of the change of string line points. This can be done so that the structure is square on plan. The structure then...

    Election Voting

    In our polling station they cross reference your polling card with the voting slip they give you to fill in. If they wanted Big brother could find out who you voted for! Last time we had a ten minute row with the clerk because I said it was no longer a secret ballot, she could not see the point...

    Felder ad741

    HOJ was that on a Felder? because on most Felders the hand wheel incorporates the thickness gauge if you put a bolt in the centre of the hand wheel you lose the gauge and so cannot set the thickness to the nearest 0.1mm. A brilliant idea though.

    Felder ad741

    Choose the cutter block carefully. The standard is 2 knives for any use that is! There are three main choices Four knives, Tersa or silent power. I went with Tersa the advantage is speed of setting up. I can change the blades in 5 minutes. You can also keep a set for when you might damage a...

    Yet another dust extraction post!

    Given those answers any of these (apart from the one for sanders only) would do http://www.axminster.co.uk/wood-working ... extractors with the 0.3Mu filter. you need at least 550 cfm at the port for the saw and as much as you can at the crown guard. if you are limited to 100mm port on the saw...

    Yet another dust extraction post!

    That depends on 1 do you want the air to be as clean as possible, moderately clean so you get the bigger stuff, or just save you brushing up the chips but to hell with the fine dangerous dust. 2. Does the TS have a crown guard with a dust extraction port that works or does dis spray everywhere...

    Building Pentagon shaped building frames

    A different solution. I assume you mean pentagon in end elevation. Whilst Dominoes are good they are not that good. There is simply no way dominoes will hold that structure together for any length of time. The lower uprights will be pushed out and there is nothing to stop them. You would need...

    Oak stairs

    I have always used softwood wedges, because they will squash a bit. Glue blocks are whatever is going but usually softwood and pva glue (Titebond for me).

    Lutyens bench

    Steve, I have had a look for the design I used. It was based upon Fine Woodworking July/August 2000. It was definitely more form than function.

    Jet DC1100A Extractor and Filter Cartridge - PACKAGE DEAL

    The drops look the right way around to me as it forms a Y with a more gently branch. The alternative would be a very severe 135 degree bend. looking at the last picture I see you have flexi from the fan to the start of the duct. The ribs on the Flexi causes a lot of turbulence. So the first...

    Lutyens bench

    I would have thought a little fold out shelf that fits under the arm and between the seat would work. The problem with putting the G&T on a wide arm is that you may knock it off when you dose off. Only a theory mind not that I would know!

    Lutyens bench

    I like the pictures Rod. At the risk of hijacking Steve's thread where did you get the metalwork for the Steamer?

    Jet DC1100A Extractor and Filter Cartridge - PACKAGE DEAL

    Mock, look at it in mathematical terms. The Jet can move air at about 4000ft per minute. I tested mine and confirmed the figure mine did 4300 but let us stick with 4000 for ease of maths. So a 6" pipe has cross section of 28 Sq inches and a 4" pipe has a csa of 12 sq inches. Therefore at...

    Packaging 26inch cross cut saws for postage.

    Cut a groove in a piece of 1"x1" or 2" x 1" and sit the saw teeth in the groove and tape the timber onto the saw

    Jet DC1100A Extractor and Filter Cartridge - PACKAGE DEAL

    If you do not need to fine a filter Felder do some big volume machines fairly cheap. Even with a fine filter it will not break the bank

    Jet DC1100A Extractor and Filter Cartridge - PACKAGE DEAL

    I would have liked the new version of it but I can not justify the price for my use. If you can change the drops on your ductwork to 150mm you will see a massive improvement. I have a 150 drop that is making light work of everything from my fielder it is sucking 559cfm and I have a 100mm drop to...

    Jet DC1100A Extractor and Filter Cartridge - PACKAGE DEAL

    This would have been my second choice http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-tr ... -extractor The technical performance seems good but the quality is iffy. Axminster have done a better one but it is twice the price
