Thats really good of you Bob! - i'll gratefully take you up on that offer nearer the time.

Hi there, I've managed to get my post count up to 20 and I've pm'd you!

My background is engineering so i get told off every time i work with builders as i'm far to exacting - but as others have said - 70mm sounds far too much over that distance!

That looks impressive! - I need to learn how to do that!

That looks lovely - you've got a really nice finish on it too that shows the grain off to real effect!

Thanks for that Custard, learnt a lot reading through that!

As others have said it really depends on what you need to weld as to what type of welding you would adopt - ive had a go at mig, arc and gas over the years - mig is the easiest and oxytocin's acetylene the most satisfying mig and gas i would tend to use on thinner gauge stuff like car bodywork...

Wow - thats amazing! what attention to detail!

I'd love to have machine to dado with - i see our American cousins doing it all the time and can see its worth - ive been using my mitre saw to similar effect, but its not ideal.

I keep hearing good things about the Festool Domino, but yet to play with one! Ive bought a few Festool tools lately and very impressed with them

Ive just cut the tenons on the sash window I'm making with a router table and the ones on the meeting rail with a tenon saw by hand. I think a bandsaw may be the easiest way - but yet to get my hands on one to try.

Hi there, not sure I can pm you yet due to post count - but I would be interested in this and I am not far away from you in Bournemouth. I actually have a small bandsaw on the way to me from Axminster a Craft AC1950B - would this EB be a better purchase?

Looks lovely Bobby, real quality look to it! - my next job after sash window is the kitchen, I need to work out how to make the shaker in frame cupboard fronts and doors..

Wow, Just read through this thread - what an amazing experience, great pics too!

Hi Trev, Yes there is not a lot of info out there detailing how to make a box sash - I struggling to find anything that I could follow and ended up just gleaning little bits of information from lots of places in order to work out what to do. I put a plant on the bottom of the cill partly to ge...

Thanks Bob, I trained as an engineer when younger and Ive always been handy and turned my hands to a lot of different things practically. I already had a mitre saw, but I have had to buy table saw, router table and morticer in the last few months in order to make this window, I have a bandsaw...

Thanks Sammy

Yes I have copied an existing window, so i've replicated sections and proportions.

Thought I would join this forum to glean a bit more knowledge and share my current project. Never done much before in the way of carpentry, but I needed a triple sash window making and I felt the quotes I was receiving were a little steep so decided to have a bash myself. I'm learning as I go...
