For me, although at times a nuisance (in that it makes matching more difficult or restrictive), if I am veneering a couple of doors/drawer fronts etc for a piece and want to have the chatoyance shimmer in the same direction then it can limit me as the maker of the piece as to what joint type I...

@petermillard , when you did your new router table recently, did you consider using the dovetail system rather than an extrusion for the mitre fence of the table?

The flame on that Kerelian maple is astounding. Never seen a cut like that, you're very lucky

that is a very shiny workmate

If it is the door to the room there is every chance that it is asbestos filler in order to act as a fire door. The pic below is of the interior of an old 50s asbestos fire door this should have appeared near the start, forgot to hit post reply

Should have said earlier @clogs they just returned half a doz from my local to the depot. Been sat there since they came out along side the inverter welder about 2 months ago. I got one then, would have got 2 and posted it to you if I'd known. Will keep an eye out for next time as they never...

Once I have digested this lot @D_W Will send you a pm. Like to have a chat about all this for a project I have on the back burner. Can i just ask how you think the 80crv2 would wear in widths 1mm/40thou up to around 13mm/1/2"

details please. Did you polish that up before bluing?

With regard to wanting a plough plane, I have a complete but disassembled one. The body is toast and I was going to get a nice block of something with character and use the old body as a template to make a new one. However as I already have one it has sat in a drawer in the wksp for about 5...

The name says it all in regard to the mitre. By all means have the dovetails all over the bench top & sides if it is being used as a MFT or to give clamping flexibility but as a guideway for use on a router table to guide my mitre fence/sled, then the metal channel every time due to, friction...

One of the best ways of sawing your own veneers is to use a bandsaw with a single point fence. Just found the gadget below which would be a great tool to use in that respect...

Because you stiffen yourself to push against it as you use it. Originally the term comes from boat/ship building lol @Spectric you appeared just as I hit save

Was gonna complain that hammer aint a 2lbs lump hammer but then it is German and metric as opposed to a good ol' haberdashers special at 3' 6

A leaf is each slice taken from a log when the intended purpose of the removed piece is to be used as a veneer and typically ranges in modern process between 0.6 - 1.5mm but can be upto 5 - 6mm thick when hand sawn such as was the common practice in the 17/18/19 00's cabinet making. When a full...

Looking for a member in/near me who can come and do some work. Tried a few sparkies locally and they are not interested. I am looking to rewire some of the lighting and sockets in the flat. Have had a couple of occasions where some beastie has eaten into the in the wall/ceiling stuff and so have...

I have a couple of Rotrings in .5 & .7mm but can only use the .5 in any of my incra rules

Personaly, I use quillted, spalted, flame, crotch and birds eye as these are varieties that I can get either as a pre-cut leaf or in chunks I can hand saw into leaves myself. However they are expensive and can be hit or miss as to availibility.

Check the wooddatabase for info Re resawing, yes but be aware there is a very high probability rather than possibility that the wood will cup or go into wind after cutting. You may have to store it between some cauls for a couple of months after sawing to allow it to destress and acclimate to...
