Ah you’re not a peatophile then ….say that very carefully 😁

Smokey Laphroig is even better 😁

The cls bracing I’ve screwed to the underneath of the base board should keep any bowing/twisting to a minimum.

Wow 👍👍👍

The cls is just to support/locate the 20mm rails mounted on a triangulated alu base - incredibly stiff…..I won’t be screwing it down too tight 😀 The cross rails are of the same 20mm bar/alu support so i doubt the router will deflect it at all across the 1200mm span i have a depth gauge that I...

Will support 3500lbs according to Bora 😁😁….so I think I’ll be ok at around 350 lbs I’ll be fitting a custom sled for the router with a 32mm vac take off to route to my Axminster twin motor vac

Le Tonkinois Linseed Oil Varnish No.1 Fast drying Linseed Oil varnish. Reapply only after 8 hours of dry time. Le Tonkinois No. 1 has been more refined compared to the Classic Le Tonkinois (below) and has some slightly different characteristics. Probably the world's best varnish for your home...

I’ve around 15mm to remove from the two slabs to level them ….im sure it’s possible with a plane but the blisters and sore muscles/aching back etc I’d give a miss. Although the use of a router and milling cutter isn’t quite purist, it has its own level of satisfaction and skill to do it. I...

Dodging the showery weather today and I’ve managed to mock up the table setup using just 1 cross rail to allow me to determine the dimensions for the router carriage. I now need to find a local metal fabricator to make two drop plates with flanges to bolt into the linear slides of the cross...

Build a large milling table that I can easily store in my garage. Once built it will be used to mill two slabs of 2.1x 0.6 x 50mm beech that will be jointed to make a table for my eldest.

After getting my slabs cut into useable large ‘planks’ my current milling setup is not big enough to cope with a 2.1m x 1 m project. My current table was a very simple low cost build from ‘scrap‘ timber with a 4ftx4ft ply bed and 4” high sides from mdf. The router sled was made up from 18mm...

Do the Italian ones work in reverse …the wall slides over the door 😂😂😂😂

Errrrrrr….not quite (just happens to be one of my areas of expertise) 😱

There are two levels of fairy intervention following the US Army’s terminology SNAFU ….Situation Normal All F’d Up - standard problems encountered each day needing a workaround fix FUBAR……F‘d Up Beyond All Recongnition - in army terms you stepped on a land mine ….in woodworking terms it...

You could think about a pull across waterproof ‘curtain’ across the front of the kitchen opening to stop any rain or spray entering the whole area

Definitely not a meat hook, either by size nor orientation- hand held meat hooks used in the meat industry are 90 deg rotated to the handle too

When attempting to use the 6ft bar on an Alaskan mill last week …neither myself nor Keith the experienced operator thought to check the levels across the huge slab of beech we were about to cut ……300mm in and a wavey cut later 😱

Thicknesser section is good on the titan …the planer side suffers from a poor fence setup

Styled on Notre Dame roof ..aka the forest

Spent a couple of hours today with the Wolf belt sander and 60 grit roughing off some of the saw marks to get a better picture of what the milling has revealled. here are the two 45mm thick beech slabs on the bench in a book fold arrangement I’ve trimmed off the top edge that was partially...
