Gave me a shudder seeing this. Transported me back to a previous lifetime as a supplier into Toyota. Horrendous hoops to jump through as a supplier and I hated them with a passion, but that's why I drive a Toyota car!

It's like having a leopard fur coat, that would be seriously uncool...or eating panda and chips! For some reason objects made from exotic, rare woods are still seen as fair game in a way that ivory or fur isn't.

Brace and auger bit, no guide...a bit wonky, but they work fine.

I'd use a pig sticker mortise chisel and a mallet. Blade vertical and across the grain. Have something underneath the wood like a towel so that the wood doesn't get bruised by all the whacking! Way before I got into woodworking I made a Rickenbacker copy which involved hollowing out an ash body...

I've messed up so many times with routers!

I would imagine >80% of adult cyclists are also drivers and therefore pay road tax.

Sorry, I missed your replies...I think the bloke building them has the front baffle supplied with his plans, so he just has to build the cabinet. In the end I think he went for an MDF type board (not MDF, but a similar fibre construction board). A project like this is certainly something I will...

I made an oak spoon in Autumn. Like you, I love the smell of oak when I'm using it (mainly because it smells of Rioja!) I didn't really think about the tannin and at first it stained with black marks where I left it on a cast iron pan. After a few trips through the dish washer over the...

It looks like it was designed in Minecraft.

Yup, 6 pint milk container of hand warm water defrosts the screen within seconds. Jump in the car and off you go

That video led me to this... http://youtu.be/Uxr4YH4MqQ4

There's a lot of faff saved ^^^^^^

Mine arrived today...great stuff! Thanks for sharing.

Am I the only one that saw the title of this thread and thought, "sounds like a fair swap!"?

Love the grain pattern on that close up

Thanks for posting this. Loved that neat little stool at the end.

I'm a chemist. With the stuff I use in the lab, I wash my hands before I go to the loo.

Guitar soundboard and bracing is usually made from spruce (or similar lightweight strong wood). Bracing is cut from straight grained billets. Not sure how critical this is for a uke because the 4 nylon strings subject the soundboard to lower tension than a typical steel strung guitar. Haven't...
