Yes quite butt clenching at first but actually not to bad to use once set up.

Today's update is shaping the Hi-macs. If you have been paying attention you will have noticed the square strip trapped in the corners bu the rebates, well this is to provide material to profile and form a nice cove to the up-stands. A very useful tool for getting into the corners. Then...

Hello Rob.

Hello.

Found a shot showing the clamps in action pulling into the rebates. And then a few shots after the clamps come off. The adhesive when set is very brittle and is quite easy to chip off the excess and the wooden glue blocks, I have just realised these are the only real wood used in the whole...

Yes compressed air, much cleaner than oil. The next stage done while the doors were pressing was to make up the top, Made from Hi-macs solid surface, this one is a kind of all white granite look. Luckily I had a big enough left over to do this otherwise buying a full sheet would have put a big...

Now that the plinth is glued up it's just a matter of flattening one edge with a plane and sawing it to the correct width and length. Meanwhile do the same thing for the doors and side pieces. Hmm, seem to have missed another photo opportunity, well here is the completed former for the doors...

The next job was to make up the former for making the plinth. The plinth was to be made by laminating layers of MR MDF to make up 18mm but on rummaging through the off-cuts I found some flexi ply and 3mm Birch ply at just the right size so that seemed perfect. This was to be formed around a...

Sorry for the machine based project but that's how I work sometimes. Then this drawing was exported to my CAM program to produce cutting paths for the CNC router. Here in the first picture are the carcase top with holes for sink and tap pre-cut, the base both 18mm MDF. The second picture are...

OK, you've twisted my arm. First off it was drawn up in Sketch-up, not for the client's benefit as I have already made them two similar ones before, but to work out the geometry and prepare for manufacture. The sink and tap were supplied by my client along with a paper template of the top...

I meant to say something about the cabinet but posted it by accident. No in-situ picture as the customer is collecting and fitting it themselves, all made in MR-mdf sprayed with 2k lacquer and then a Hi-macs top to finish it off, I took loads of pictures along the way if anyone want's to see...

Three 4" x 2" joists hung on Joist hangers nailed to the walls with a bit of plywood or Chipboard flooring will be OK it will sag a bit but so what.

3mm? What are you spraying, porridge? But yes I think your idea will work, you may need to turn the pot pressure down to suit the delivery for the gun.

I'm in Wantage Oxfordshire.

Yes 1390 rpm 1.1kw no idea what hp is 19mm + key shaft. I have a picture somewhere I can send later.

I'm always intreaged by questions like this, surely the answer is charge as much as you need/ like, you need to cover your time, materials and overheads. There will always be someone cheaper and a lot, more expensive than you anyway, partly down to the quality of the work done and the desire to...

Tyler's hardwood at Malborough I believe do, at least they used to do steam bending amongst other things.
