That's a great little game/demonstration. 4.27 for me, but I kept cocking up the midsection one because I misunderstood the objective.

Looks top - nice colour too!

I loved the snowcat - it's very nicely sculpted, great to hear that someone else agrees!

The table looks great in your garage - I really like the design. I wasn't sold on the top shape or the curved legs in isolation, but they look fantastic together - nicely done!

Surely you have just cut off a section of the top with a perfect grain match, and you know exactly which piece it is, since it will be aligned with the other end of the domino mortice - this would make cutting a near invisible plug pretty simple. I think your repair is fine, but had you wanted...

Live to sh*te another day?

Wow - I really like this one. Great desing, and it's going together very quickly!

If they're not already cut for the installation of cam locks, you could be in for a world of misery. Often these cabinets have a 19mm hole cut on the opposite side from the hinges, which can serve as the mounting for a lock, handle or just as a finger pull to open the door. Making a hole like...

Is the use of a MPL at customers request or something you prefer? Given the choice I'd opt to fit a good quality traditional mortise sashlock and morticed rack bolts on a wooden door - I just consider them much stronger, but I think most folks prefer the convenience of locking a single cylinder...

Lovely looking job! Re: Winkhaus cobra - This isn't a bad locking system, but it does have a shortcoming, in that the centre lockcase is rivetted closed, and peened onto the rest of the lock, as are the two hook bolt housings. This means that you can't service or repair the lock if a small...

Coincidece. If they actually knew your PIN, they would make the number issued the same, not similar. If I had a quid for eveytime I came across a number which resembled my burglar alarm code I could fund a good long night in the pub.

Also, don't confuse brutally over-promoted with bad. I saw him several times on HIGNFY and MTW before the current media assault, and found him very entertaining. He did a good line in self-effacing humour which is now totally at odds with the way he's being presented in the press. I'm pretty...

I find gold gel pen works very well, and lasts longer than the white gel pens.

Mr.T is a member of this forum? But he hates planes...

Drill proof and bump proof, makes no difference in the UK, you need to look for a kitemark, and the British Standard 3621:2004. IMO typical American door security is woeful, and I'm speaking as a locksmith. Honestly, things get marketed as 'high security' in the states because they use a...

Guys, whilst your opinins are valid, the Saf-t-planer has been around for donkeys years, and is recommended by many experienced luthiers. The design has very tiny blade protrusion, which makes it unlikely to grab, and means it can only dig in 1/16" in the event it does. This also means it...

Do you need to do plunging cuts? If not, it's very easy to make a router base for dremel tools. Here's my inlay base for a dremel. Making a base which plunges smoothly and accurately is possible, but it adds a whole lot of expense and faff!

Titebond original does have a date code, but you need to know how to decipher it. There's a post somewhere in the MIMF (Musical Instrument Makers Forum) library which explains how it works, as fresh glue is particularly important for the highly stressed joints used in guitar constuction.

If you're doing a few doors, buy the morticing jig for your power drill made by souber tools - it is a breeze to mortice a door once it's hung, and at a little over £120 it's very good value, assuming you actually fit locks regularly. The trend jig may be cheaper, but you'll need kitchen...

Setting aside aesthetics, I would make the door minimum 44 thick. It's standard for external doors because it leaves a reasonable thickness of timber to fit a mortice lock without compromising the door too much, and some insurance companies will even specify that final exit doors must be...
