Thanks Dr Bob, what wood is best for the face frames?

Hello guys For example in a dresser / hutch or an alcove unit planned to be made from mdf and painted is it best to use MR MDF or solid wood for face frames? I would be concerned about the MDF durability and holding power for doors. Cheers

Thanks guys. Have a Bosch PBD 40 on the way

Thanks Derek, informative as ever. I like your parallel jig. Also Mike Kreinhops. I have seen some parallel rip fence attachments from Felder and also from Brian Lamb Tool Works but they are so very expensive!

That is something I would have never thought of! I guess support of the workpiece is the key line of thinking!

Hi All For edge belt sanders like the Hammer HS950; why does the belt pivot backwards to 180 degrees and level with the platen? I cannot think of a use for this, but then again my imagination is often deficient! Thanks

Thanks guys. Will hire a whacker and get some sand and cement. The shed will definitely be a little flimsy but it is in a sheltered area

Hi all I bought a10x8 ft flat pack metal shed today. One of those thin galvanised sheet metal jobs; just using it for spray painting water based products. question on a suitable base; as I won’t be going for concrete, can i just place some paving slabs on top of levelled hardcore? Or do I need...

Spraying wb paint on bookcases doors etc in the shed (small). Want to keep my woodworking equipment paint free! Any thoughts on how to do this effectively? I’m thinking a pop up tent, or perhaps some curtains or the like hanging from tracks in the ceiling?

Do more I read the more I am thinking of breaking the bank for an air assisted airless!!

Thanks Ollie. Will check out the Kremlin

bookcases, wainscoting, dressers, kitchen Eggshell and emulsions

I haven’t deema, and keeping overspray to a minimum is important to me. Doesn’t appear to be much out there on it outside of car spraying

Hi all looking to move from HVLP turbine to an airless setup. Mainly spraying cabinets. Research has lead me to a Graco GXFF with FFLP tip, or the more expensive Wagner Superfinish 23 Anybody knowledgeable on these or similar? I’ve only ever used a 3 stage turbine HVLP
