Personally i would go 2mm, only last year i made some cabinets and shelves etc for a client and i ended up redoing all the edging as i wasn't happy with it. Have also vowed to never again make anything or use Melamine again. My opinion only but would use MR and paint it.

Maybe a silly idea but i will put it out there. Are there any other local cabinet making/veneering businesses near to you? maybe they do not have time/ability to do what you do and maybe you can form some sort of alliance. Failing that pay them to flatten/finish giving you more time and hence...

I have the plunge saw and rails. Great piece of kit, not cheap but would thoroughly recommend it. Mainly use it for cutting solid timbers and hasn't let me down even when ripping 50mm stock

Hi Tazio, No sorry i have the MT55 plunge saw with an MFT table, didn't read you r post properly i apologise. Re the PT, yes there was a little bit of fettling but didn't take more than a couple of hours and part of that was me not reading the instruction properly! Re the fence i have not had it...

Hi Tazio, me again. Just a thought but have you thought of renting your workshop out to others Hi Tazio, Its about 2 yrs old, agree the fence is not as great as the hammer/felders. I have no experience with Sedgewick but i have had no problems at all with mine. I did go to the Felder showroom...

Hi Tazio, I have the Axminster Trade 310 spiral cutter block PT, I have had absolutely no issues at all with it and it has had a lot thrown over and through it. We have the Hammer at work and can safely say imho it is every bit as good a finish and maybe even quieter, actually the noisiest piece...

Yes i hear you there, currently have a table that's been to Dover and back and 2 side tables waiting to head of to France. Couriers now tell me they have put an embargo on certain commodity's, wooden products being one of them....

Hi there, if it was me and it was for a paying customer i would use the same timber as main construction, otherwise veneered MDF or Ply hope this helps

ok got you, more of a accent/statement piece, think it was either douchette and wolf or marc fish site that i saw a beauty on

Came across this, not my design but i am going to adapt it, no drawers and a level desk top and no lower shelf. From memory they wanted £2700 for it, told the missus i would make her one instead!

Sorry to see this has happened to you. If its not repairable could you maybe make a butchers block or similar to cover that area, sorry doesn't solve the issue but just an idea

Hi Ozzie, Not saying its the right way but i would go bandsaw, PT and you will want an extractor if budget allows. Not sure if you have a router but if you have can always make a sled to flatten, time consuming and messy without extraction but will do the job and then square with a hand plane...

I did a course a fair few years ago with John Lloyd. From memory there was only max 5 to a class, I found it excellent and when/if i get the time i would go back and do a short course on french polishing with him. I met a few of the guys that had done the long course with him as he did a service...

Couldn't agree more. One thing for sure is history will tell us what would have been the right course of action to take. Going forwards got to say i am amazed at how the government is doing at getting the vaccine out there, I can only compare this to what is going on in Europe but vaccinating...

Probably going to open a can of worms here and apologies in advance if anybody is offended. So here goes my rant, i have kids, most of my friends have kids ranging from 3-17 and without doubt they all know best. They know you can't give them a clip round the ear, they know they will not get the...

Hi Joel, Was in in similar dilemma a few years back and in the end went Axminster PT with spiral head and the industrial bandsaw, bandsaw got lucky as they had a deal on one that had been returned after a couple of weeks and didn't bother me about a few scratches caused from transit. The PT is...

hope you dont mind me saying but although not everyones cup of tea, imho it is a piece of art and a very good one at that. Personally i would try putting some rechargeable LEDs in it maybe to sell it as a light ? As for selling it i would try etsy or chairish, if it was me i would also not be...

Couldn't agree more. Budget does have a huge factor in all of this but having been the impatient one on many occasions i have bought and regretted many a tool, whereas if i had waited and saved it would have saved me more. Its taken me far too long to realise and put into practise but, buy it...

Thanks Rorton, the top sits in the recess and you just lift it and turn it over.

Just finished this in the last couple of weeks and sent of to its new home
