Any comments would be welcome particularly about the optional stand

I have decided to take up turning as in my previous post so did a little looking on the most popular French SH sales site, there is very little use of e bay and this was a typical sort of offering. https://www.leboncoin.fr/outillage_materiaux_2nd_oeuvre/2140572634.htm

I posted this in the general forum and was rightly advised to repost here: Looking for something different to do and have an idea I might like to take up turning so a couple of questions. It is unlikely that I can get any instruction so is it realistically feasible to teach ones self ? If so...

Looking for something different to do and have an idea I might like to take up turning so a couple of questions. It is unlikely that I can get any instruction so is it realistically feasible to teach ones self ? If so what sort of exercises might be useful to understand the tools and equipment...

Axminster do a universal plate which is drilled for the Triton UJK 10mm Aluminium Router Table Insert c/w Universal Base You would need to fettle the mounting lugs though, an easy job with a Dremel or file.

I got back into woodworking after many years away from when I retired and decided to refit a kitchen. Having little idea of tools now available I decided to have a look at You Tube and came across a down to earth joiner. Gid Joiner he's a time served joiner not a cabinet maker does nothing fancy...

A simple work bench and cheap vice for the son in law in an effort to keep him out of my workshop and away from my tools.

I would remind everyone. Analysing humour or a joke is like directing a frog nobody laughs or is interested and the frog dies. Thanks to the late Barry Cryer and others. Humour is not the same for everyone nor appreciated by all Bernard Manning taught us that.

I decided to change the router in my UKJ router table which has the universal adapter plate. I wanted to fit the Triton TR 0001 for the advantage of being able to change the bit above the table. On checking (before I purchased the Triton router) the universal adapter plate was confirmed as...

I bought a Fuji Q5 from Axminster a while back it gives superb results so I can recommend that and whilst the price from the Dutch site is about 12% higher than Axminsters you are probably going to have to pay import tax on the Axminster price as it's above €150 and whilst their advertised...

I have a hairline crack that has developed post machining and have thought about filling it with powdered wood from sanding and superglue. Never done it before but heard about it. Does it work? Any tips or suggestions.

Don't think they would do much good with non metallic stuff though but I am happy that I can find what I am looking for if others want to do it differently they are welcome.

I suggest that you get a couple of metal coat hangers, the type dry cleaners use and snip a length out of each of them to make a pair of rods and if you are worried about human interaction sleeve the bit you hold in your hand in a piece of metal tube. It actually seems to make the rods very...

I was introduced to the art by an old excavator driver when we were working in a quarry with adjacent factory. He picked up water, gas and electricity supplies then gave me his rods and I walked with my eye closed over new ground and found an old victorian culvert. The sensation when the rods...

Did you have to steam the stretchers or did they bend naturally? I really like the combination with the legs. Did you fit drawers to the table? I ask because something similar is my next job.

If you have one you could use Dominoes and the Domino connectors that are less intrusive than the standard connectors

A suitable sized nail should do the trick.;):eek:

Is the top in one piece or is the curved section connected and if so what method did you use? Is it sturdy enough without a leg under it? Really nice and it's given me a new idea for my study which was just going to get a worktop with cabinet underneath and shelves above but that curved return...

If you live near the coast try and find someone that does boat canvas / seat covers etc. Not saying they will be any cheaper as anything with the word boat attached usually means a multiple of 3 on the price but it's worth a try.
