may be they have just taken out this 40mm board and replaced it with new 6 inch to bring the u values up to scratch. of course a clever person may of added to the existing rater than replace.

Are they giant pallets or is that a very small construction worker standing on the top (without suitable harness) ?

why is it wasted? The title and question is the exact same one that I was going to ask. It will still appear top of the list in that section for anyone to see who may know about such things. And if the original participants are still about then they may well be more experienced on the...

is that how long you should allow it to cure ? seems excessive

what type of wax have you found best ontop of danish oil - and how long would you let the danish oil cure first.

The more I experiment with scrappers, and the better I get at preparing/sharpening them, the more I am falling in love with them, they seem to give a beautiful finish even when not entirely with the grain. Beginning to wonder why I have wasted so much time with sandpaper.. you don't even have...

do you mean surface or suffice ? and i'm thinking you mean to wear down rather than to wake up ? even with the correct words it still does not make much sense. could you have another go at explaining

No tear out, think what you are looking at is some dried glue sitting in the lows between grain on the softwood, Trouble is with sanding with a long straight edge (apart from the fact that it doesn't really work) is that the grains are running at 90 degrees to each other. You say seal the...

It is a small table I am making that is a mix of Teak and a softwood (its all stuff out of a skip) I have so far just been using a scraper to level the teak down to (very nearly) the level of the softwood. But what best next, exp where the grains run at 90 degrees from each other. Do I...

Thanks for that, I was thinking Padauk too, so great to get some confirmation, esp from someone who has used it. And what a lovely job of that clock face you're making! Is it just that fast drying celulose based sanding sealer that you are using ? I guess application as soon as sanding is...

Two Questions Anyone identify this wood, when cut it looks orange, however I guess it will revert to that dark colour on the uncut bit after a month or two. For contrast I layed it upon a bit of Walnut inlayed into some pine. (just wanted to show off my inlay - LOL) And second question -...

I wonder how well car tyres last as the pulley wheels for the band saw, I would have thought the teeth would soon rip into them, but may be not.

Does yours focus automatically ? Mine is manual so it would be easy to set it 2 or 3 mm too low. or do you mean something else but focusing sub surface? could focusing too close cause damage to the laser ? so many settings to play with and not enough time.

Have been experimenting a bit with different woods, it varies so much! .... I have a mahogany I could barely get 2mm into, where as a walnut, easily 7 or 8mm with one pass at 65% power. There is a lot of experimenting to do with power and speed (and then how many passes) One thing I have...

Totally agree, the risks were obvious, so why is it even news ? 5 people a day die on British roads (60 across the eu) Every single day. It barely gets a mention and many of these people will die because others are breaking the law. No one cares, most people will yawn when they read this post...

I now have access to a 60w CO2 laser cutter. Anyone know how suitable this would be for cutting hardwoods that are 5mm thick. need a good clean top cut (not bothered if burnt a bit underneath) Been told not allowed to use above 70%. power What speeds / passes should I be experimenting with ?

With note to this ref for minimum material thickness for tpi. https://www.tuffsaws.co.uk/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=24 What happens when you use material too thin. For instance 1" thick with 1.3tpi ?

machine is rated for 6 to 30mm blades What would I ever use a 10 tpi 1 inch blade for ? I can only think of long straight cuts in plywood or the likes - but I have a perfecly good table saw for that.

I have a one inch wide band saw blade that is 10 tpi. I have quite a lot of hardwood that 6 to 8" thick x 12" long and I am wanting to cut 8mm boards from it. Is 10 tpi just too many and will it lead to clogging and poor cutting. ? if this is the case and I have no other use for the blade...

my power washer is capable of sucking in its own water (i think most do) I have a 2 litre container with some anti-freze in, before cold weather, using a short length of pipe I allow it to pump anti freeze through itself, therefor anything left inside can't freeze.. (take the wand off so...
