Morning all - I have been busy making some bandsaw silver birch log boxes (ready for Christmas) and some have developed splits on the sliced off wood. Moisture content was 12 - 14 percent so maybe I should have left a little longer. So would like to fill the cracks with colored, red yellow etc...

Be careful - I bought a van (toyota HiaceD4D) for the odd jobs and work takes 8x4 plaster and timber sheets and had a family car - trouble is I now prefer to drive the van high drive position, cost very little to run, no electronics to go wrong, service it myself, taking it to Chester races...

Thanks you both for your replies - the web site looks good for my purpose.

Have made a replacement central heating exhaust pipe mine has rusted away; part of the balanced flue (new ones £340 but they are obsolete so unobtainable: a new boiler £2800 for the size I want !!!!). The new exhaust sleeve needs brazing together - Rivets, nuts and bolts would stop the...

Had time to give the machine my own review. Had to replace the 1/4" stubby c/a connectors for 1/4" BSP or long nose ones to be able to use my compressor. So far it works on, Yaris MK1, Toyota van, golf mk 3, Honda 2.2 diesel civic and CRV. performance - took 4min to completely drain...

I,m back from a caravan holiday and the box of tricks arrived fri not bad since I ordered tues and it had to be delivered from Belgium, Luckily my next door neighbour (my brother) picked up the parcel. Reading some of the comments please be carful of Compressed air and fuels !! reminds me...

I'm not too good on the computer Myfordman but put this in fleebay to get the information/link - " 6 Gallon Portable Pneumatic Oil Extractor Tank Vacuum Drain Drainage Suck Air". I'm shortly to test out the second one in this list and will give an accurate report - It seems I'm not the only...

Sorry a little away from woodwork - but my age group is mend and repair not throw away and buy new. So; I have serviced /repaired most of the family/business cars for ages - but the newer cars are getting the underbody layers which is causing me problems. Honda civic broke the camels back - the...

Hi penny its not me but a neighbour he's hoping to put on ebay and get around £1000. What I can say its a lovely machine - the new C30 has individual motors and cost around £3500 this is not one of these, it looks more like the startrite k210 / 260. Look on goggle at the images and its like the...

Decision made - the minimax C30 is not for me and will go on ebay soon. I've had a play with it and it is a really well built machine but I have most of what I need. Thanks for comments.

Thanks for that just put resaw into goggle - and yes my bandsaw is just a tiny one, never know blade that size existed - far too big for me and probably my power supply; so on the market for 2 - 2.5hp bandsaw with large throat better get onto ebay and start looking.

I'm on the lookout to replace my scheppach basato 3h with a bandsaw that has a bigger throat 12+ inch and keep coming across the term re-saw, what is that. I maybe wrong but is it when you cut some groves using the bench saw then the bandsaw just follows the pre-cut lines !! inshort it make it...

Thanks for all and any more replies (particularly Jacob) - I can only go from what I have seen and been told, looks like its one not to be missed especially with the extras for the spindle moulder. Will keep you informed maybe post a photo If I get it.

A friends having a clear out and offered first chance for a MiniMax muti-machine I think is a c20 !! - any body got views on these machines it looks complete with extras - includes bench saw, above below thicknesses 3 blades, side mounted drill and plate, router. One 240v motor with like...

This weekend is the Sandringham show - went last year and really enjoyed it - pies beer cider cakes and lots of crafts especially wood, from chainsaw to marquetry. Anybody down there its worth a look just sorry I cant this year.

Sorry to interrupt - but you can get wee diode or "reed diodes" seen them used inside model building and OH gauge coaches. Think these are 1.5v had to get some long time ago to make red and green model traffic lights but available are in various colours - model shops or the inevitable ebay ...

thanks for comments - I like the idea of adding another fan !! worth a go gives me time to look into other options. - just sprayed a mist of WD40 and the squeaking fan is quiet ! this gives me time to check out what are the better types of inverter.

Given a Union Graduate lathe 3ph motor - bought a cheap inverter £65 from ebay (yes china), had roughly 15hours of use and the cooling fan is on its way out - its served its purpose of testing the machine and getting me hooked into wood working - So could anybody recommend a source or name of a...

Thanks all - yes the flying chop saw take a while to get the hang of it - white walls yes but trying to find the paint used at school it seem to be very thick white with flecks of colour, I find it looks good and covers block work well.

Its taken a few years to get to this point - but I am almost kitted up for a steady woodworking retirement. Yes I have to share a double garage with a van but by leaving the side door open its a seat and work surface. No windows by design just don't want to make it an easy target. You may...
