The other thing I would suggest is to sort the top out before buying/making the legs. If it all goes wrong, you haven't financially lost much. If you buy the legs and you don't like the top, you then have a set of legs left over!

I would clean it up with a wire brush attachment in a cordless drill. Do wear goggles though, these things spin quickly and you don't a piece of wire in your eye. A nylon brush attachment would probably also work but I couldn't get one when I tried. It removes the last of the bark and clingy...

Try it!!! You must be able to buy cheap levels or spirit level tubes and a bit of tape, so it would cost very little to give it a whirl. Even if it comes to nothing you would like to know first hand whether it works or not.

low budget tv. luckily, I doubt that anybody will use it as a tutorial. It doesn't reflect well on the teacher though allowing it to happen. I presume that Kirsty had no interest in what she was doing and no actual teaching. She merely posed for a few action shots before cooing loudly over the...

excellent!

I find it useful to have a couple of pairs of each type that you use so you dont have to change them mid job. I only really use them on pens and things that are fairly precise. I can set the callipers to fairly near on the safe side, then pay a bit more attention to getting the exact fit I need...

it is a good example of where excess warnings defeat their purpose. On anything that I see with a "California residents" warning, I dont bother reading it. This covers pretty much anything with a connection to the USA. If they only warned us about things that mattered, less warnings but they...

out of interest, what would potential users consider a sensible weekly hire charge be? I am not convinced that collective ownership would work, but maybe rental might. I would think it would need to be about £20 a week plus postage to be viable. There would need to be some form of insurance or...

I dont dislike the idea, but for ease it would be better if the item was bought by person 1 and simply sold on the for sale thread to the next person. There would be no pressure then if was kept for a bit longer (even forever). if it was damaged, it would affect the damager in the resale value...

it depends. if we haven't taken delivery, the scrap value would be credited from what we owe. The supplier will deal with it, but likely weigh it in. We wouldn't take delivery just to scrap it ourselves, we only have an interest in the value of it. If we have taken delivery or are machining...

I doubt that, I suspect that they just cannot get the replacement stock in. Manufacturers, with a reduced workforce are also probably likely to priorities their efforts on the higher volume lines that dont help. Nick from Laguna commented the other day on the increased demand and struggles to...

that is an interesting one, and I wonder whether it is as a result of trying to move to stock numbered and prepackaged items. Doing so (in general) must send the inventory value through the roof. Contrast that with a tuffsaws type outfit where you can have any length you want and it is cut to...

Logistics is a huge issue at the moment too, related to covid but about to be impacted by Brexit too.

I would have guessed at willow

why had you been after one of these specifically? cult following, general interest, best of the best?

did it fit exactly in your kitchen space like it had been made to measure?

that was the one I had in mind, but couldn't remember the name. There is another one nearby too I think which I got some yew pen blanks from once via ebay I think although that could have been NB.

My main consideration is what would be in-keeping with the location of the finished piece.

There are a couple of sawmills horncastle way too I think. Do you use those?

firstly, dont place too much faith in online searches! what are you looking for? I went here once and was impressed. a few years back and the website is dreadful. worth dropping them a line. https://www.stuartsomerscales.com/contact
