Iroko?

All the above posts offer good advice. I personally avoid using phillips as they are designed to "cam out" at set torque loads. Pozi drive heads are much more secure. If you want a screw thats almost impossible to rip the head on then torx are brilliant. Interestingly there is another type of...

Forgot to say that if your designing the cabinet then be careful that you don't use the same interior dimensions (or exact multiples) for H, W or D. If you do then there's a very good chance that you will get resonant frequencies caused by standing waves inside the enclosure. This can result in...

This is a standard design for enclosures. Its called an infinite baffle and very common especially for small cabinets

Thank you Vann, just checked this YouTube channel out. I'm hooked!

My greatest fear is that one day I will die... And my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them. Same applies to tools

It will all return to normal soon. England qualify for the knockout stages. Come up against Germany in the first round. Lose the game after the penalty shootout. Thank goodness thats all over, we can get back to watch the normal sh*t they dish up for us

Football? Rather watch paint dry (far more interesting) Rugby? Bring it on!

Check out Leo and the the Sampson Boat Co. Series of videos on YouTube. Simply awesome

I have an evolution table saw with an ali top. Just give it a couple of squirts of dry PTFE spray. Works for me

Felt glued on with contact adhesive

I design mine on sketchup. My friend who has a 3d printer then makes it for me. Pay him for the materials and buy him a beer for helping me out. The trick is to make the inside diameter of the adaptor slightly oversize (add 0.5 mm to the radius) and put a chamfer on the inside to aid fitting...

Interested in your Makita if its still available. will PM you

Pros: portability, accuracy Cons: cost, can't adjust tool height whilst cutting I wonder how much the consumables cost? ie the price of replacement rolls of domino tape ...

Titebond would be a good choice. Quite frankly (just holding my breath for the furious reaction) any good quality external grade PVA based adhesive should be fine. What's more important is the quality and accuracy of your jointing method. Tight M&Ts, dowels, dominos etc is the answer. If your...

As mentioned, a tablet is not really suitable for CAD work. You really need a PC/Mac with some sort of pointing device such as a mouse (I use a Wacom graphics tablet) to enable accurate drawing. Sketchup is a good place to start but consider Fusion 360. Although it has a steeper learning curve...

The devil's crops: maize (to make high fructose corn syrup) and soya (for animal feed)

I hear you Jacob but some blame lies with the quality/cost of softwood available and lack of good maintenance. For example: I need to replace 2 gates on my house spanning a 3 metre gap. I've completed the design and started pricing up the materials. I wanted to use cedar or redwood...

I think acrylic paints are getting better than they used to be. But one of the major reasons why they are used by the frame manufacturers is that it saves them money big time. Drying times a significantly shorter thus improving turnaround and due to low VOC content spraying facilities are much...

I have 2 watches. A Lorus sports cheapie (£20 ish) wear it when working. Keeps great time but the night illumination system is rubbish (lumbrite) watever happened to radium painted hands (I know, got banned cos of cancer issues). My bestie is a British Nite MX10 with tritium tube illumination...
