Something I must have considered 100 times. So here’s a brief list of what it will cut. 15 x 50mm rebates into softwoods and hardwoods (oak etc) 9 degree bevels for door cills (requires big 9 degree block) Small grooves for shaker doors Tenons for frame sections of approx 95mm x 75mm and...

Thanks for input! It could well be coming down to who can get it to me quicker. Both machines are the exact same price and quality and will obviously serve pretty faultlessly for years. Phoning around it seems like Jan is the earliest date. But I need one in 2 weeks! Shall pull the trigger...

Ha! I’m a regular tight arse just like most business owners. Other than those machines that have auto sets, I really don’t see the point of spending 10k + on any machine. So here’s my setup. I already have Sedgwick sm4, Sedgwick Morticer & multico tenoner set up for sash’s, casements and doors...

?? I already have a Sedgwick sm 4 The query is regarding SCM or hammer?

So I’m down to either the Hammer F3 or SCM tw45c will purchase new or used. many recommendations / suggestions or reviews on either are most welcome.

Just having a look at the Axminster trade series as well as the itech. Tempting for the price (under 2k!) Have just been quoted £4.2k for the hammer with all the bits I require. I can justify the cost. Obviously the hammer can handle a lot more than the others. I also find it promising that I...

Can cant be worse that what I’ve seen solid timber do...

Two beauties I made last week. 45mm Accoya doors with through tenons and raised panels machined from tricoya 😱. Worked a treat. Being able to machine tricoya is a bit of a game changer!

Looking at getting a second spindle moulder. I have one already set up for casements and sash’s and decided I’m going to leave it so. I’m sick of breaking it down to do a small task and then set it back up again. So a second one is needed. Must have a sliding table as I would like to do...

excellent advice as usual. HP seems to be preferred and looks like i'll get a nice big one when the time comes. Just printed 2 months worth of invoices on my inkjet. Took forever and used the entire cartridge

I print a lot of site photos and they take forever to print a full A4 on the inkjet

My god laser printers are cheap these days! And the my look so nice and compact too! Who can recommend me a good quality laser printer? Wireless (MacBook) Scanner/copier Colour Good quality many recommendations?

Yes you will absolutely gobble through tubes and tubes of it. How people can justify using products like repair care etc is beyond me.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Some great links there. Think I’ll go it alone but try and come up with a zazzy design for approx 700 sqfoot, and price it up myself and see where I am from there 👍 👍

Nice idea, and I have toyed with the idea steel containers as a base and then insulate and clad them. Don’t agree with temporary workshop though. It’s a proper shop with floor standing machines, 4 sider etc. I want to move once and never again!

And I do have a second workshop (although 2 hours away) where I can prepare cassettes and pre build the workshop

Yes I think I’ll put something CAD together first and have a better idea. I’ll design it around sizes where I don’t have to really cut anything ie - 8 x 4 sheets, woodex sectional sizes straight from the supplier. Perhaps it won’t be such a slog to assemble

Thanks for all the input thus far. I will need this workshop up and running ASAP as joinery is my income. Were it a hobby with time to play with, then it would be a completely different story. I think I'd better think hard about the most affordable way to design and build a workshop myself...

So it looks like I’m moving house to a place where a workshop will have to be made. was looking around for some inspo and then came across the below website Click here Has anyone ever used anything like this? What do you think? It’s deffo good value and would save a lot of time. Longevity...

Yes the only machine that will realistically process sheets and timber quick enough is a panel saw. As your limited with space I would suggest a track saw matched with an MFT table and a series of jigs and gadgets to help achieve rapid cuts. A bandsaw just isn’t a clean enough cut for anything.
