Yes I know but when you are copying you have to go with it, shame as the rest of the house is truly magnificent. I did sub out the turning to a guy who has a cnc lathe and the upholstery to someone who knows what they are doing.

Just finished these chairs now ready for delivery.

What forum is that then? just can't imagine.

Very nice looking job done there, but that down pipe hit me in the eye too, I don't know if it would work for you but as an idea I once saw a chain used as a "down pipe" it sort of used the surface tension of the water to trap it and guide it down, of coarse the drain needs to directly under the...

This is what you get when asked to make a worktop off-cut a bit longer, my theory being if you can't hide it make it a feature. Alas I forgot in my rush to glue it up to take a picture of the two parts so here's the test piece.

A lot of router cutter retailers also sell replacement collets so it really is a matter of establishing just what chuck your machine is fitted with and getting accordingly.

I have an undersink jobby it pre-heats and holds 5 or 10L, plumbs into a normal sink tap and plugs into 13A socket, always have hot water when I need it, first one lasted 13 years which I have just replaced with one from screwfix.

Very interesting project you have going, a thought I just had, is this for a pond with fish? if so you may want to soak the wood off first, some how I feel with all this tannin rich wood your using you may end up with a strong tea coloured pond. Keep up the good work.

You may well laugh, our next door neighbour has taken to learning to play the banjo, 11pm last night.

I've used speed shift many time without any problems.

"For an hour or so" Glynne, you will hardly get a coffee in that time, it really is an all day show and then you still won't get around it all.

I think that would be classed as Grade C ,CP or WG used where face appearance is not important i.e. packing cases and furniture carcasses, WG would have large open knots/ patches/open defects, staining and discoloration.

I'm going Sunday.
