Vote with your feet. I never go near the sheds after a string of similar experiences of own brand stuff being utter toilet.

Best thing is to paint on PVA glue to the edge and then sand it once dry. Once is usually enough but if not then repeat.

Finally finished a project I've been working on for what seems like ages. I posted about it back in June: fitting-cabinet-doors-t90045.html Anyway, the doors got sorted, the Osmo oil applied and SWIMBO is happy. So am I - I hate projects hanging around the workshop taking up space - I reckon...

Nah. Don't bother fixing it. It'll never make you happy. Send it to me instead. =P~ =P~ :wink:

Osmo Top Oil. 3 coats. I only sanded to 150g on the advice of Osmo techys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just realised I din't post any pictures of the finished piece. Here's a few.

Thanks. The client was delighted with it. I don't care why they want it. It pays my mortgage. :)

Marcros, I just tilted the blade by 15 degrees and then left it set and locked. The rationale being that it kept the cuts dead on consistent in terms of angle. To get around the breakout issue I used masking tape on both sides of the cut line. Having made a few of these now I would probably...

This looks like the beginnings of a separate debate - metric (what Jesus would use) vs imperial (useful for Hobbit holes and guessing the size of trees) :lol: Bring it on....

For what it's worth here's my contribution: My 2 year old P/T ( a Hammer A3260) recently started giving dodgy results. To keep work going I broke out the hand planes and discovered something remarkable - hand planing ain't that hard. I now know that I'm not dependent on my machines (although...

I buy the Advent Vice Versa ones from Axi. Metric only (I refuse to use ancient elvish measurements) and they run from both right to left and left to right. Very useful indeed.

So should be alright for knocking up a few homemade WMDs then.

Tell him that you never wash your hands after going to the loo as you're of the opinion that 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'. That'd stop me from using them and I actually agree with the saying!!

Any takers? Are my table making suggestions that strange?

Maybe I should have said 'Any useful thoughts people'

So now the design has been finalised, mock up's have been mocked up and we're all set to go but......... I need some advice on a couple of the elements if you would all be so kind. Firstly, here's a (very quick and dirty) sketch up view of the design: The central column supporting the table...

Personally I think your patois qualifies you as first class instructor on a green oak framing course. I went on one last year and the guy leading it was as dull as ditch water. I actually came away feeling a bit depressed. I think 'sticky out bit' and 'hole' is a far more descriptive name for an...

Duct tape works well for when the chisel skips and stabs your hand. Mitre Bond normally holds up until you get seen at A&E. A (rather eccentric) friend of mine insists on pissing on every scratch and cut he gets at work - he's a lumberjack so gets cut quite often. And he stinks like a car-park...

I think there are two things to consider here: 1. Most of us these days are not as 'motivated' as they were in times of old. We live relatively comfortable lives and are not in fear of our jobs as much as they used to be. If we do lose our job we have got a safety net. We expect to have to work...

Kevlar?
