Perfectly good enough for second fix joinery in my view - I have some fairly high end fit out work on some of my projects and I don't see any shooting boards on site. Cheers, Ed

I should say I am no photographer, but I have learned a few tricks that work for me. 1. Decent camera, decent lens. I use a Nikon D80 with Nikkor lens. 2. Daylight is always best - I know pros can do wonders with a flash, but I find the best results come from daylight, or better still sunshine...

Downstairs in the double garage, which has the big door to act a bit like a loading bay. Only problem is getting the stuff up the stairs... Ed

I worked for years in a single garage where everything had to be pushed up to the walls. I always aspired to have the tablesaw / outfeed and the workbench in the middle of the room, although I had no experience of this layout, I just thought it would work. Both the saw and the bench are in the...

Very nice. Can you explain what you used for the thread cutting? Cheers, Ed

Aw stop it, you'll make me blush. If you can tell my wife its not all outrageously expensive that would be very helpful though... Ref the position of the workbench, its useful particularly during assembly to get to all sides of the bench. I also don't like staring at the wall, so if you have...

Well I didn't build it, it was part of the house when I bought it (and a substantial part of the reason for choosing the place). A workshop could always be bigger, but I reckon the proportions of 1.5 : 1 are about perfect (almost the golden ratio now I think about it). The size is right for me...

Well I hadn't anticipated giving anyone the horn, but whatever does it for you. Its 5m X 7.5m, the camera lens makes it look bigger than it really is. Cheers, Ed

Done all of that, except the ZCI - one for a rainy day. I re-read the old threads on the mods other people, yourself included, have done and basically copied whats gone before. Ref the plumbed in pipes, I'd like to do that eventually with metal ducting as I know the flexi pipe compromises the...

No its the other bit - you cannot see the dog beyond the end of the piece. Ed

Well you can hold thin stuff - you just need some thin battens (mine are oak in various sizes) to act as spacers. I'll save you the trouble of telling me that if you have to make your own wooden spacers that its not a complete system (ref - honing guide discussion) :lol: I'm not disputing...

Maybe, but its a quick and easy way ofgetting 90% of the functionality of a tail vise if you don't have one on your bench. Ed

Well probably not - things never do seem to get to the UK and stay a reasonable price. If it was just the Sterling equivalent of the $79 he says it will be then that would be quite reasonable...we'll have to wait and see. Ed

have you not got the height to do one row above another as I have? Ed

Excellent space. How do you switch your dust extraction, or is it just running all the time when you're working? Ed

Looks excellent Karl. Have you seen this new surface clamp from Veritas - would make an excellent tail vise on this setup. I fancy one when they come out here in the UK. http://blog.woodworking-magazine.com/bl ... erica.aspx Ed

This is an incredibly quick and easy solution; Just 2X4 screwed to the wall - why make it more complex than that? Ed

Panic Room No actually it goes through to the double garage below. Ed

Probably clean because I haven't made anything in it for months! Ed

Just at the moment work has been really hectic for me, so difficult to get my teeth into a decent project. I have however, managed to fit in a variety of workshop improvements in the little odd bits of time. Firstly dust related; I bought a Camvac 386 twin motor HPLV to deal with my tablesaw...
