today pt2

made some progress stripping it down today, that the great thing about old machines, they do come apart easy.

yeah it looks decent, it appears to be mostly aluminum not cast iron which is a surprise, the date on the plaque says 16/08/1948 which is older than i expected. it needs some work but i got it broken down & started. might need some of your guidance for a few bits, i keep thinking of your...

Not content with the little DODD Planer "home workshop" project, which i have barely started. i picked this little number up last night a Junior Whithead 6" Planer it runs, but could do with some serious cleaning TLC, this will live at my main workshop & go nicely with the Drum Thickness...

thats what i was thinking, just set up a cam & edit it down, or another good one is the time lapse camera, that would be good. i do enjoy a good video, watching somone scrape away rust & rebuild something is far better than James Martins British Cooking Bake Sunday Oven Bunch or whatever my...

started to disassemble my wadkin sp12. after 12 years in my ownership its leaving me tomorrow, the workshop demands more of other things it takes up too much room, i dont need a panel saw for what i do... but its been a hard choice to get rid of such a reliable machine, its worked 6 days a...

ohhh yes they do... very popular they are too, im fancying one for the living room

horrid photo but its a cherry & walnut ply drum kit with wooden hoops, photo taken from a drum show at the weekend i crammed in several overnight shifts to get this done, my workshops in bits right now so was a challenge to build in time.

ohhh goody!!! you should be on telly doing these things...

i have the same saw for my home workshop, i love it, its small, powerful & i find it to be accurate, for the money i dont think anything else comes close... im aware the little axminster's are highly rated but the 250 which is the same blade size is big jump in cost & everyone says they need...

i use a lot of bearing cutters ,nothing that requires your accuracy & tolerance but one thing to remember is the cutter will only be as accurate as it can be when new, as you sharpen the bit, the dia changes by small amounts.

simple question really? what do you guys prefer/have had the best results with? i have been using 3 or 4 Trend Craft pro blades for the last few years, been happy with them, the rest of my blades are old & came with saw, most are just dust gatherers. i keep looking at the Freud blades (is it...

FIRE!!!!!!

paypal is a tricky but often necessary evil when selling goods, esp for small business, i use it for business & private sales, when you use it almost hourly you get very savvy with it very quickly. i see loads of people getting caught out when its a private sale & they are just selling the...

i have to agree, im in an old workshop (building dates back to 1860) but has been a joinery works for the last 40 years, i been in 12 of those & worked under old 6 & 8 foot strip lights. Our hoard of replacement bulbs has run out, i was going to replace fittings & dreading the cost, but i...

pre order only available in USA at this time... i had just got the credit card out. :(

Record Power BS400, had it just over a week, so far its bloody brilliant & i dont have my new blades yet, struggling on with the stock blade.
