the past day of research is leading me away from turbine HVLP to airless or an AA airless system; Either Wagner Superfinish 23 (diaphragm pump rather than piston) Or Graco GXFF ( cheaper than the above and highly rated. Or for some more ££ a Graco Mini Merkur, which would require a separate...

Thanks Deena, that’s very interesting, but I don’t think self build is the way for me

Hi all I live in the EU and with the recent event that shan’t be mentioned, Its no longer cost effective or in some cases no longer possible, to buy from the UK. I’m looking for a good 5 stage HVLP turbine unit. One of the green Apollo’s or Fuji. are there any good EU based HVLP spray...

Thanks for all the replies. The boss changed mind and now doesn’t want a scribed line. She still wants it “fitted” though. I think perhaps a face frame with the stiles straight lines against the jagged stone. Of course there’ll be gaps, but she’s now convinced that this will look better than a...

I am failing to understand the above. Sorry for being slow, can you explain this? Never heard of tiles being used before

Thanks all, some great suggestions there

Hi all missus wants me to do a built in alcove unit beside the fireplace. Thing is, the walls are clad with stone and are very uneven. She doesn’t want free standing units so I’ll have to scribe a filler strip to the wall. Has anyone managed to get a good result with scribing to a clad or...

It’s seems hard to look pass led the Prussa Mk 3

Hi all looking into getting a 3D printer, but no little about them. What has brought me to this is bloody dust ports! But of course thereafter the possibilities are endless. good news is that I already use Shapr3d so wouldn’t have a problem with designs and STL files. have up to 400 to spend...

I am looking to get the Bosch GMF1600 router having viewed the video review from Matt Estelea but am confused on its use in a router table. Availability is limited but I have found them in stock on the Sautershop website, but they have a note saying it isn’t suitable for router table due to the...

Hi All I am using some Unistrut to for cantilevered shelving in my shed. I have on member bolted into concrete block, and then another piece 2ft long cantilevered out for shelving. Problem is, I have a lot of flex on the members that coming out perpendicular from the wall. Any thoughts on how...

Hi all with the rise in lumber prices, have been looking at green oak in form of sleepers. They are 20cm x 10cm 2.4m long im in no rush to build anything but would it be more trouble than it’s worth to get my hands on some? then Bandsaw in half to 5cm thickness and leave to dry for maybe...

Thanks all, lots of great suggestions there that would never have occurred to me. Glue is set now but will definitely work through each of these.

Thanks all. I am using a track saw first, then a DeWalt DW745 table saw. I will check a piece by standing on edge

Yes the saw is cutting at 90

Hi all I will own up, I cannot get my cabinets square. For example on kitchen base cabinets I use dominos and up to now, have used 20cm deep brace / cross member at the back and top. I see many in the US use a thin back panel rabbeted in. I’m thinking that this is popular as they nearly all...

Thanks guys, I think I’ll order the HS950

i mean of the stationary variety with large belt. Was looking at Felders catalogue and came across the HS950. clearly useful for well, edge sanding cabinet doors etc. But my question is if you have one to you find many other uses for it ? I’d want it to do a few other tasks in order to justify...

Great thread. I have used Tandem before and am currently working on a project using Movento so all the above is super helpful. @reck123 where do you buy your Blum hardware? I am in Ireland and have used a UK company up to now but need to find a European company that will sell to private non trade!

Yes the glue did look a little chalky. Looks like the low temp was the issue.
