It’s true! The first aid kit if far too boring so doesn’t get the attention it (probably) deserves haha!

Yes tackling the extraction is the next upgrade. You can never just buy a machine. There’s always so much that needs updating along side it. Had it for a year now and blocked up maybe 3 or 4 times so I know it’s in the edge of what it can handle. Thankfully only Accoya currently which is nice...

That’s only the offcuts rack! A have a container full of timber outside the shop

The red machine is my holzmann 4 sided planer and the blue frame is a multico tenoner. casting couch upstairs you must be joking it’s freezing!!:p Honestly!

Ready to start the year fresh and hit the ground running. Shops looking cleaner than it has in a long time. Painting walls white really does do wonders. anyway - here’s my machine shop. Enjoy!

Thanks. Cheapest option is deffo the 750 ml tubs also....just noticed soudal also do a PU so I shall give both a try cjeers Louis

After a new supplier of PU! Currently use construction chemicals which is good but expensive. What’s everyone using? Ideally want a 10 minute & 30 minute option and ideally fit in a mastic gun. Cheers! Louis

Anyone?

Still can't sort this. So - Laptop is due an upgrade regardless. Can anyone CONFIRM that sketch up free is working on a fairly new MacBook with MAC OS Big Sur?

You have options. So starting with the cheapest, they are... Repair and refit existing moulding. Replace single length. Easy enough to do with a router, block plane and sand paper. No spindle moulder / cutter needed. Replace all mouldings. Louis

Love hacks with 3D printers!

Exactly the above. Some things it’s just better to outsource. Follow the money. Spend the time working on actual commissioned work. I’m sure I could keep myself busy all year round having “workshop days” but it’s little good if your not earning the squillah Louis

Just to

The only difference I can think of is that you may be limited in height using the combo compared to the matched pair. As a general rule you always machine the rail tenons first and then the stiles. But Painted oak doors with mdf panels? What made you chose that combo? Louis

Hi mate have responded to your message. Great attitude and strive. Come back to us later in the year. Unfortunately not taking anyone on until late next year now 👍 Louis

I brought one of these - worth it’s weight in gold to me and pays for itself over and over. But the price does seem OTT A piece of rubber

As far as I can tell those items are not quite “like for like”. If you run the automatic blue tooth ID thing then that hose is worth every Penny. Imagine if every time you used a different tool you just plugged the hose in and that was it. I swap tools from hose and plug around 10 times a day...

I would avoid Charnwood and I tech at all costs. They must be the “erbauer” or “triton” of dust extractors

Never too late in life to learn but I have to say that even the basic apprenticeship is 3 years full time work in a professional joinery workshop and your still pretty green after that.... To a professional, it’s plain as day to spot someone who isn’t “time served”. Now that doesn’t mean there...

This is basically exactly what I do. brush on 1st coat, then use a rag to wipe the entire thing down.Very light sponge sand and then light brush on for second coat and leave.
