Thanks Ray, but I'm looking more to larger voids, not small ones. I want to use the defects to encompas them as part of the work and not always fill them in. The small two part DIY's are not going to be enough. Rather surprised that not many people seem to have used this. Malcolm

Thanks. I am looking for clear as possible, but have not use epoxy before. Are they all very hard and could be used to effectively glue two planks with voids, better than usual glues? I was looking at this test, which shows the west 205 as possibly the clearest...

Looking for supplier in UK for epoxy resin that will hold fast and be clear for filling voids to look good, but also that can be coloured if required. I have seen the West Epoxy 105 - 205 which looks good, but should I consider others? Malcolm

NO such thing as drift if the saw is 'tuned' correctly. GET THE BEST TUNING FROM A BANDSAW 'Alex Snodgrass of Carter Industries has an excellent video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGbZqWac0jU on a tune up method that works well. Tuning is only that and nothing else. If you really want to...

Excellent job and for a first effort, you should be very proud of that one. Well done.

Can someone please direct me to a UK outlet for the Carbide downcut Inlay router bits to use with my Dremel. Should be 1/8 shank and tapered with slightly wider at entry end. I would prefer buying UK rather than order from Stewmac in the States .......... unless you think Stewmac ones are as...

Hi Adrian, that's a really great effort to be building a complex box like that at this early stage and exceptional. I can see that you will be a real challenge before very long and good luck to you. I had to smile on some of the mistakes, just like I made, so nothing really new there. Next time...

That looks very nice and a make I had not heard of before. Let us know how you get on with it. Do you have the information on the original construction, particularly about the spiral blade assembly and blades? Malcolm

DANGER - DO NOT RUN THE SAW WHILST ADJUSTING THE BLADE It should be unpluged but turn the top wheel by hand whilst adjustment is made. The wheels of the guides and the rear bearings should not turn when power is applied. They only turn when the saw is in use and the blade is moved by the timber...

It has to be blade position being damaged by the guides. I would suggest all guides and bearings, top and bottom, are moved back and then see if the blade can run under power without drifting forwards or backwards on the top wheel. For a 1/4" blade, the gullet of the teeth need to be in the...

Adrian had the best one. Designer Woods gave me a lot of inspiration when I started and even has plans that are easy to follow that he sells. http://designer-woods.com/ Once you have made the first couple, it's down to you and your imagination. I like to come up with new ideas, which often dont...

Well done and an excellent demo for others to follow. Malcolm

Hi Neil, The guides you have are very similar to the ones on the BS400 .... If you remove the inner part on both sides, you find a brass 'part' that holds the actual guide section. That needs cleaning and oiling and then putting back so that it can move freely. When you set the guides, you...
