I've ordered the pair of Sjobergs clamps - Already have a Sjoberg vice, so I already like them a bit. But also don't feel like hammering. So the decision was made Thank you all for dropping the notes.

I'll give it a watch

Yeah I've done little shelving unit for my missus before, and little bit's and bobs. Nothing of this magnitude! Thanks for the kind words. I think you are right, migh just do a simple stop, that can be flipped to make it flush for more footprint for work. Cheers

I've made myself a bench! And I can confirm doing so without one is a challange... Southern yellow pine for most of it, oak dowel and wedges, nothern poplar vice block (I grabbed the first suitable size wood I had at hand). Bench can be knocked down into smaller parts that would fit in a car...

I consider myself a hybrid woodworker. I like using powertools, but I quite often reach for a chisel and have a blast with it.

Thanks for the notes. I was also looking at Sjobergs holdfast, which looks appealing to me. But that's almost £70 for one, and I'd imagine having two is a minimum. Anyone uses that clamp?

I'm closing on my workbech build, gonna be drilling 19mm holes for holdfasts. I was looking online what's out there, and it's a mix bag, and I can't make my mind up. I'm looking for inspiration, and some good experience with that you use, so I can decide what to buy myself. I've done a quick...

I had DPF issues on Mazda 6 - never again! Now I'm a proud owner of Skoda Superb, which I worked on a lot, so I get to see the fruits of my labour, which is rewarding in it self. Alright then, I'll tell you where I'm at now. Polestar! I bet you never heard of it :P I test drove the Polestar 2...

Thanks, I already have leveling legs on it, just the plastic portion of it is very hard and does not grip. So I won't be looking into castors. But thanks

Haha, formula tyre would arguably not be suitable, unless I can warm it up before each use :p I thought about pushbike tyres as well. Ma ybe some road bike tyre. I only need 50mm diameter to cover - adjustable feed.

Thanks for the note. Screwing it to the floor will be the very very last thing I will attempt, should everything else fail. Not fond of that idea, though I reckognise it would 100% work.

I've already bought some rubber pads that looked like a good choice from amazon, put them down on the floor, stepped on it, moved about a bit, and it's not really doing any gripping... So the hunt continues. If I at least knew the chemical compound / naming for the right kind of rubber, then I...

Very nice bench! Mine is a bit simpler. I'm going to install a Sjobergs vice, should be a good one. For now just the face one. But I'll make sure to keep some space for the tail one, if I ever decide I'll also want one. I've also made my bech in a way so it can be dismantled to smaller bits and...

That's exactly the machine I have at home. I managed to get the top and bottom surfaces quite nicely. But I struggled with this heavy timber, to push it against the fence in a consistent manner, so I would get flat and square face. Machine just not made for this... I believe it will serve me...

You are correct, that would be an issue. My top will be split, dry mortice & tennon alignment between top and legs, with M10 long bolts through the top rail into metal thread inserts in the top. Sould be fine, and allow some movement. Thanks for the note

I don't think they will become all obsolete. In automotive, maybe. Some skill might shift to hydrogen cars. But agricultural, construction machine, and similar beasts, they will long remain ICE. I've heard someone calculated the size of the battery needed for a combain harvester to operate for a...

Nice one... Soon to be all electric, and few companies dipping their toes to Hydrogen. We shall see how it's gonna go. I'm doing harness CAD packaging in electrical. It's amazing how much of it is there. Kilos and kilos of copper everywhere. I guess good for me, keeps me busy.

Friction is rather high, and they are set in quite nicely. I actually had to hammer them out after a trial fit! So I'm confident that's there to stay. About Renault and Vauxhaul... Not sure how to take this comment. I have a feeling you think I'm a **** engineer (I'm not..), and you drive one...

Thanks for the tip, much appreciated. As per Mike's tip, I got in touch with Elite Woodwork, and I will be calling them on Monday to sort it out, so I should be alright. This other contact might come handy later. I have a lovely slab of wallnut. It's rather massive. I will need to find someone...

Hey bud, I hear what you are saying, and agree to most of it. I did hit limitation of my tool, as my lumber is just too large and mainly heavy for it. It's deflecting the infeed table and as such it inevitebly ends up out of flat on my tiny jointer from Axminster. Also not being able to put...
