i been intending to get a DS for aaages, id also concluded it was the best option in terms of value for money, so its good to hear its good quality.

no one? bugger.

anyone got this machine? if so i require a huge favor & if you would be able to measure a couple of specific parts of the machine for me? i have no access to one and don't want to buy the thing if its not going to be usable for the very specific task i have. thanks

decided to put jobs to one side for an hour & play with my drum sander idea. 20min putting together using scraps of MDF from next doors kitchen fitters waste bin & i had a quick test setup. I'm convinced its the way to go for production, taper/scarf took less than 1 min to do using this and...

tried it, its ok, but its not great, would need a lot more automation and jig setups to be able to trim them back consistently, this is not a one off... and there will be more than one layer of this veneer in each drum.... the conclusion was it would take more specialist equipment (something im...

thats exactly what i have done before i got to this stage, well to be fair i have been dissecting drums for decades for research in my job, some drums have the grooves, some dont, the specific type of drum I'm working on all have the lap/scarf type joints through them.

appreciate the replys everyone, I'm going to pick up a toothing plane to try but i think we need a more mechanical production way, so will also continue my drum sander jig idea & see what stacks up as being the best solution. Been making ply wood shells for 15 years but i make them the modern...

the toothing plane seems the way top go for authenticity, it explains the marks i have found on some makes of drum shells... but i still think it will be too slow for production, barn fulls is the idea ... i already make hundreds of drum shells per year for my & several other drum companies, but...

amazing i would be so grateful, thanks so much.

this would give me a very similar shallow join like custards suggestion.... I'm sure will work but the overlapping join I'm talking about is usually 2" long minimum... so it starts paper thin & gets gradually up to the full veneer thickness over 2 inches of length at least

ohhh thats interesting, would create a much shallower joint that i was thinking originally, but I'm not going to discard that... it certainly is one to think about, that's been added to the try pile. thanks Custard.

shooting boards, cool thanks will have a think about how i would do it with one, i have several laying about the workshop. the joint is on the same piece mate, it will be bent into a circle and each end joined, without trying to go into vast amount of info regarding the history & methods of...

sorry auto type got me, no idea what it was changing it to but it should have said Scarf i generally do butt joints on all my veneer work (working with veneer is all i do), that's usually much thinner laminated pieces though, but cant do butt joints on this, I'm replicating some vintage work...

hi guys, need some ideas from you. I'm needing to cut some scarf joints on some very thin material, 1.5mm veneers to be precise. the pieces are at least 8-10" wide & quite long (min of 50" ish or more), i have had a good search around and the only thing i can think of is to set up a mini drum...

not sure if it was the last thing i made but certainly the last thing i dispatched.

I Have the Bosch as my home hobby saw (the big saws at work) its a great bit of kit IMO, and was perfectly setup out of the box (never had that with any saw before). but its slots are not standard & i would not say its massively modifiable, uses it as it is & i think it beats all the...

you can clamp that, venner is a tricky monster to get to grips with but in tiny sizes like that you will be fine... you could even make yourself OR pick up a used book/flower type screw press for such things. i made a monster veneer screw press when i first started making drums from raw veneers...

SELD! :)

HI Graham, i have a couple of interested parties but no one local enough, £100 is a bit low for me so will look into the other parties options regarding delivery but may come back to you if that's unviable... pm me with when you would be able to collect thanks Gareth

SOLD sorry guys.
