    Buying wood advice

    I was thinking of buying two or maximum three species of wood at most. For example I want to build a small cabinet for my tools. I calculated to need only 2 ft3. I don't think the merchants will be very happy to sell the little amount such as this. I was thinking in line of having some hard...

    Hi everybody I have a small single garage for my woodworking. So far I have been buying my wood supply based on my cutting list. It is fine unless you want to do some small project in the middle. I was thinking of getting some stock of wood as base and then topping up as needed. Do you think...

    Hi It is based on LN design and I made the dimensions myself. I bought the ACME screws and all hardwares from overseas while on holiday. I have posted about it on the forum. post1249838.html#p1249838

    Workbench top thickness. Is 35mm too thin

    My bench is based on Mr Paul Sellers English workbench with two skirts adding to the strength of the frame. I liked the twin screw chain driven vice design and made one at home with help from a friend. I have found problem with all twin screw vice designs and it has been a good learning point...

    Workbench top thickness. Is 35mm too thin

    I am enjoying the process of building my workbench. It has been an amazing journey so far. I have practiced diffeeent skills from cutting to planning by hand and laminating. I decided to built an ultimate vice for my bench. A twin screw chain driven vice almost 900 mm long. I doubt there would...

    How to widen a groove after gluing up

    I accidentally saw a shop selling the screw while abroad on holiday. I got 100cm cut to two and then a shaft was turned on a lathe. The rest were off the shelf bearing, bushes, roller chain and sprockets. It was a good learning experiment. I

    How to widen a groove after gluing up

    It’s kind of homemade vise. I had everything made for me individually. An experimental project.

    How to widen a groove after gluing up

    Thank you for all the great advices. I scribes a line and made a fence for it. Then used chisels to pare it. It works alright now. Thanks again for supportive community. One of the forum members kindly sorted a lot of final touching stages on my hardware yesterday. I thought it is my duty to...

    How to widen a groove after gluing up

    Hi Mike It is just about 0.1mm right. It goes in but gets stuck in. Can I use a router plane to take it down to 3/4 inch and then pare it? I thought about using a band saw ( I don’t have one). But inserting anything will affect the hardware of the vise as the screws and shafts have been cut...

    How to widen a groove after gluing up

    Hi there I have been making a chain driven vise. It’s almost done. The groove for the chain is just right for the chain but I have made a mistake in not measuring the fast link’s width. It is slightly big for the groove. It is 2 3/4 “ deep and I need to increase the width by 1.5mm. I can...

    How to check straightness of boards edges?

    It is for passing the vice screw through. It is very important to be parallel and perpendicular to the outer wall. The skirt will work as back jaw. Wondering if there is a trick to drill it straight. Regards

    How to check straightness of boards edges?

    Dear Jacob Thank you for your advice. I used off cut piece of 2*4 for those wedges. I have another problem which I thought I ask for advice. I need to drill a 30mm hole on my bench front skirt and worktop as it shown in this picture (I have the skirt in front of my bench as well). I can use...

    How to check straightness of boards edges?

    Hi Jacob This is my take on the wedge you show here. Is there any particular dimensions for it or just as I have done is okay? On a different note as I am not joining two table tops together and the strip in the middle is in couple of pieces to make removing and cleaning easier then joining...
