The things you learn on the internet...had no idea most of those sander wheels were a thing. Yes, I have heard about the Dremel quality...or lack thereof quite often which is part of the reason I haven't acquired one. Most people tend to recommend Proxxon these days but have not look at them...

I don't think it will affect the joint in the middle at all as the rot just is not reaching the edge at all with the exception of 1 or 2 mm at one of the end so there should be enough wood to get a perfect gap free joint, no?

I could but to be honest I quite like the current proportion between burr and straight grain and cutting the rot out would significantly reduce the later. The rot is just the tape measure on the photos and you can still on the left side of it so I would have to take a couple of inches at least...

The main issue is I can't really leave it as it is because it has some rot down the middle which the tape measure is covering in the picture so would need to remove another 5mm or so to get to the bottom of it. Hence why I am considering resin, I do get what you mean with it being cliche though

I am planning to transform the following pieces of elm into a live edge coffee table but because of the way it is going to be used, I am thinking of filling the gaps and burrs with epoxy resin. There are also some areas with rot that I need to clean before adding the resin. What is the best...

If this isn't gone yet let me know and I will take second dibs. Do you have any photos to show the usage on this?

I will take the bosch router if it hasn't been yet snatched up

Wow, that is a lot more replies than what I was expecting. The vacuum cleaner is a Morphy Richards Never Loses Suction Complete Clean 73415. It is a bit of a mouthful and none of the spares websites seems to list switches. The original switch did indeed have 3 pins, 2 parallel to each other...

Hi everyone, Recently my vacuum has gone kapu in spectacular fashion since somehow the switch button half melted. I am guessing this must have been caused by a short on the switch itself since everything else seems to be working. As you probably know to try to get spares for anything no...

Would you post?

Can I get the Anarchist tool chest?

That is actually an interesting design and quite unique in a way. I don't have a vice but do have a planing stop so you should still work need to clamp the opposite end and should still work. My only concern would be that the "tenon" where the dado stop fits would become loose over time. But...

Right, I think the time has come to accept I need a shooting board. I have watched several youtube videos but what makes a good one from a bad one is still unclear to me. Does anyone has good recommendations for a set of plans I could use?

Moxon vice made with Benchcrafted hardware and low grade English white beech and English cherry . Should have taken the pictures before using it as it is already full of dents :D

I actually in a bit of an impulse buy took advantage of the FFX current discount and ordered the Festool ETS 150/3 (non EC). But I am having buyers remorse as when adding a hard pad and the sanding disks it actually ends up being more expensive than the Mirka Deros. And the Deros comes with dual...

Are you thinking about this one https://topcoatreview.com/2017/03/which-festool-sander/?

Do you know the model? Is that the sxe450 turbotech that everyone seems to rave about on this forums?

To be honest I wasn't considering the 125mm as I thought the price difference to the 150mm isn't that big. However, 125mm is cheaper and the 125mm will be lighter so it does sound a good compromise....hmm more food for thought

I use a hand plane to get things flat and square with a jack plane but the surface finish from it isn't always great with planing marks and the occasional knock of having the pieces sitting for a long time on the bench. So I want a sander to do the final surface finish before applying...

I am on the market for a ROS as my cheap LIDL one leaves me uncomfortable shaking for several minutes after sanding due to the vibration. Question is which one? I want to mainly use for sanding after planning and so does not need to remove a lot a material fast as I can do that with a plane...
