Another session. The clock mechanism together with its distressed face appearance was glued to a timber face plate using titebond and superglue. Front view. off to get a piece of glass today and should be near completion

More progress, the front window frame for clock which will be a false door, (it is an electric clock so the hands for changing time should not be moved the old fashioned way using fingers to push the clock hands forward) The frame has a roll over internal edge and inside rebated for glass. the...

I read at another forum windows 10 is going into your windows update automatically without control. Is this correct? http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new ... st-in-case

It's having a long coastline in the south west and EU regulations , whereas many other regions have not had our expense perhaps.

Pleased to watch this post.

Ah yes Paul, but things are so bad down here even the Government is giving us £50 back each year :wink:

I have been having aggro with my local water supplier S.W.Water. YOu hang on to their 0345 number waiting for an agent and then they take ages to sort something out keeping you hanging on. (it was worse when it was an 0845 number) Anyway I found how to get them to telephone me, tout suite. I...

I have not been to Yandles for around 7 years but I always made for that sale bag of oak/beech offcuts (I think they were used for name boards) @ 25p each. So I found my box of pieces and selected the nearest and cleanest size piece. It has quite a serious bow but then laying in my workshop for...

After another cup of tea an idea arrived, why not a rear door?

That's the way I am feeling, a thin back support inside.

That would be 21 inches of chopping, and I know there would be a chop to far somewhere along the line. I have got a rebate bit but the bearing is around 12mm and no where near large enough, so it looks like the backboard will have to lay inside the carcass against a ledge.

I have run into a problem, I need a rebate at the back of carcass to hold a back board in place when the clock is finished. The reason I am stuck is that the carcass has been glued to the base and I spent yesterday looking at my stock of router bits but nothing seemed suitable. (also I do not...

Some slow progress on clock. Made up an offcut of hardboard for my sliding table on saw because the old cutting line was no longer accurate, so photo shows new hardboard in place and area with the cross showing board yet uncut awaiting new saw line. I had to secure base piece with clamp, my...

thanks for looking.. I have been a member here for some years now so if you go to the search button above perhaps type devonwoody projects ,I think you should find many of WIPs try harlequin, that was my favourite.

I have started work on a clock for a granddaughter, her wedding present. This is my first big project of the year, (three tissue boxes and some picture frames have all I have been able to manage owing to my ankle injury earlier this year) So carcass was constructed through the week in sapelle...

That would be nice, perhaps I ought to have an open day? :lol: :lol:

My problem would be moving around 3 cu of hard wood, then take off two c.i. side tables and then one side panel (the other is already off so I could get a look in). Then I do not have much pull on spanners these days. I have some 2mtrs plus hard wood boards but they are usually cut down to 1...

Thanks I have had a look, I can see the capacitor and feel the two front bolts but to get at the two back ones means taking off the two cast iron side tables and a side panel and around 3 cu. of timber. So I am relegating the TS to light duties at the present time and rip on the bandsaw.

Has anyone done this with an Axminster aws10 b ? I still think the machine needs turning over and over to rest on table?

OK I think I have found it at the Axminster online manuals. Remove top side panels, undo motor bolts and use adjusting bolt to extend motor. Will have a go in week ahead.
