It may be because of the sizes you've given, that's going to take a lot of looking to find a good enough piece that long and wide with out defects and is straight enough! does it really need to be that size?

I see, well I'm sure it's 12" dia with a working stroke of 6" which seems OK for me, the platterns are 4'x2' and works well for most jobs including veneering, I vary the air pressure depending on the area of work piece, with a maximum of 100 psi air pressure multiply by the surface area of...

What do you want to know MM?

I do like the idea BM but it's the eyes, where do you get lazer eyes? I can't find them anywhere.

If any one is still looking in here's my update, 456 holes drilled and eased, luckily I have on long term loan a dowel boring machine that that does this easily. Then drill a blind clearance hole for a 5mm screw with countersink in each end of each piece After a lot of filling and sanding...

Absolutely, hit the nail squarely on the head. (hammer) (hammer) Well done. It's for the Sure Start children's centers program, helps with the development of balance, co-ordination, agility and confidence etc in the very young. Very similar to the Tumble Tots franchise. Any how back to...

Have you tried Wd40? I think it works on some. Snap!

I have a brush back shaper, at least that's what it's called in the manual, it shapes the wooden backs for clothes /hair brushes. But I don't use it for that job.

After being let out of the house for the morning I thought of you lot and made some more progress. Six of these cut to 2300 x 44 x 40mm A quick dab on sander with the ends then drill a 25mm blind hole near each end. To give me this. Then set up the spindle moulder with a 22mm round over...

I changed from 7 to 10 just to find out that the sage accounts package that I have won't work with 10 so have reverted to 7, now every time I switch it on I get the up grade option, wish I never started now, what I now understand is 10 is a fix for 8 not an up grade for 7.

Today's job was to finish thicknessing which took 4 hours and 6 bags of shavings (bet your glad you don't live next door to me) and then to make the 100mm dowel, because the cutters I have will only do part of the cut I made the blank into an octagon first and then cut eight times to create the...

Yes griggs home made air powered, it has a 12" dia air ram at the bottom making it an upstroke press ie with no power it will open so you can get your hand out :D

Press pressing two bits into one for the 100mm dowel Thicknessing Still not finished but I am. I,m not even emptying this tonight.

And the large dowels are table legs according to Chris's website (I know, its cheating!) Nope not this time :D , and they are not on my website or face book either :twisted:

Well tried Andy but no biscuit sorry. btw Andy in my first post there is 15mm + 25mm + 32mm dowel Yesterdays glue up went OK, glued pinned and pressed. Then out of the press so that I could fill the pin holes so that this morning I could clean them up using the belt/stroke sander. then a...

You know what, I'm really surprised that no one has got this yet, I've been making these for at least 13 years OK not many per year but neither was I the first to make them.

First off a picture for griggs I found while having a tidy up a test piece from setting up the spindle moulder for the 32mm dowel, kind of shows how it goes. Anyway back to today, a bit of gluing up of some of yesterdays production. And then on to a different part of the project using 9mm...

That looks like a nice box there doug, but I am concerned about the detail around the lid, with a flat top you have a crush danger but what you have there is a blunt shearing action which to me is a lot more serious.

It's all Tulip wood or to be more precise North American Yellow Poplar and of coarse Birch plywood

Just for you DW a small scrapbook of knots. This one went in the bin. And this is this mornings progress at glueing up. griggs to make nice round dowels I like to machine the stock up square first and then spindle mould the corners off one at a time. I used to do this with half round...
