    Help with design for new MFT style bench

    So would you put the 8040 on top of the wooden frame? Or around it? Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

    Help with design for new MFT style bench

    It's not so much how to affix it, but how attach it in such a way to stop any inaccuracies from the frame being projected into the top. So if I just bolt the extrusion to the frame, and the frame has a little bow or twist, won't the extrusions deflect? I'll obviously do my best to built the...

    Help with design for new MFT style bench

    I want a replace my current MFT style bench as the top has sagged. The new version should add supports to keep the top flat (the extrusion). The materials will consist of 45x45 aluminium extrusion (pictured in grey), a Plywood replacement MFT top, and then pine for the base. This will not be...

    Steve's workbench build

    Watching you panic when you realised things weren't labeled during the glueup made me laugh :) ... I can relate!

    central heating oil

    I really hate having an oil tank. Almost impossible to pass regulations if you only have a very small back garden (without having it smack in the middle). And to add to that, having experienced a scare when my first one cracked, I always worry that the new one (bunded) will crack too. Oh, and...

    Bandsaw dust extraction mod.

    It's only attached to the door, although I haven't tried tilting the table yet (I never really do that). It doesn't interfere with blade changes either

    End grain gluing. We all know how weak that is, don't we....

    I've seen a lot of videos where you see the presenter not apply glue to the end grain as they say 'there is no point'. I 've always found that a bit odd. Even if it only added a small amount of additional strength, why not do it for the few extra seconds it would take?

    How do you store your drill bits?

    I have a set like this, that I just hang on a screw (open like in the picture). If I need the set, I can then easily close it up and take it off the wall.

    LumberJack Rigid table saw clone

    woops Thats interesting. But the Rigid doesn't come with a laser for accurate cutting*. A laser, which like most mitre saws is a gimic, and is probably not at all accurate or useful, and will stop working after 3 months. It's probably also quite dangerous. I can imagine people focusing on...

    Bandsaw dust extraction mod.

    This actually worked out quite well. Catches a good amount of dust and theres room for improvement by shaping it more. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

    LumberJack Rigid table saw clone

    Oh I certainly won't be the first. Would definately wait for reviews first before considering buying it. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

    LumberJack Rigid table saw clone

    Looks like a rebranded version of the American Rigid table saw. I've been waiting for something like this to come along. Was tempted by the Axminster Craft, but it's a little on the small side. Not sure about LumberJack as a brand though. They seem to be known for the cheaper end of the...

    Gauge blocks

    Exactly the sort of thing I was after! thanks

    Gauge blocks

    They don't need to be precise in terms of their size, I don't mind if they're not exactly 1mm, or not exactly 2mm. I just need them to be flat/straight to reference off, and repeatable. Just thought about lego ... if I can find some

    Gauge blocks

    yeah - I do have some of those, but they're a little too flexible, and not really flat. Definately not repeatable.

    Gauge blocks

    For the current jig I am making, I need some gauge blocks, to add offsets in 1mm increments (3 - 10mm or so). Normally, I would just use drill bits, which usually work perfectly, are cheap and come in sets with increments of 0.5mm. The only problem being, you can't combine them to create bigger...
