Really Nice piece of work. I like the proportions and the attention to the details. It has that nice combination of looking simple and sophisticated at the same time. I also like the comination of hand and power tools, very efficient. Something i admire but lack. Owen

That is lovely. Its has some great proportions. I wish our bathroom had some space to put something like that in. Owen

I guess with many of these things you have to see how long it would take to make. As if the time is intensive then the cost is hiogh and the people whom like it enough to buy it will be reduced. |Owen

The legs are tapered on all outer edges which was interesting to get right. I liked the shape of objects that do that. I should make clear the frame for the panels on each side was glued up seperately and they attached to the legs. I am aware that normally they would mortise straight into the...

Thats ok. Wood can be quite personal in terms of layout. What I think best may be wrong to everybody else. It wouldn't be the first time :lol: I was a bit concerned I had made a structural gaff. Owen

Thanks for the input. As said I am not keen on the hinges myself but they hold a very heavy lid safely and I was not keen on the many stays on the market. Woodbloke The boards do seem a bit strange in the photo but I spent a lot of time matching them as they are not from continuous pieces of...

A while ago my friend got married and I got to be best man. I wanted to make him and his wife something different so I made this chest. Due to the tight time pressure I never got to photograph it. Finally he has sent me some photos. I thought i would share. It is made of sycamore and cherry. Its...

That is brilliant it looks like a tennis racket grip. I could see that catching on. You could have a nice soft grip in different colours. No more blisters when hand morticing etc. No sweat when working away. It would be best with towelling wristbands and head bands logoed up. Surely Veritas and...

I used to have one. It was good accurate and easy to set up the fence which locked solid. The extension which pooped out was accurate and good to. The saw i had was on the gas stand which was clever but a bit wobbly with sheets so I would avoid if you are not moving it about. The saw gurad was...

Very Nice. I like the inlay very personal. Owen

I see that Hammer/felder have a new planer thicknesser out a 260mm model. Looks nice.,.... Its on their spring promotion/website pdf Owen

Blue masking tape. Owen

Very nice. I like the two tone handles and paint job. Looks like a race car of the plane world.

I have one of those. Single phase in very good condition bought off ebay for 450 pounds about a year and a half ago. It had no mitre fence. So far its been quite good but the rip fence on the straight iron bar is shocking. Daltons in nottingham seem to be selling agents and you can download the...

I went to see this today. I was impressed with the items on display though ironically the very expensive zebra thing left me a bit unbothered. I really enjoyed watching the video they had on loop and I found it quite inspirational. I really struggle to pass any useful comment as I lack the...

I can do the 14th but not the 13th. :( owen

That looks a lot less effort than restoring this thing. The way this is going it is probably more accurate! I will try not to drop this one out of a van. Owen

The rods screw into the base firmly if the top linking piece is not present. There is not meant to clamp the rods other than the screw them in tight and this is done on the other set of rods. However when screwed in tight the linking piece cannot sit on top as the rod top that it sits on are...

After a dead digital camera I have had to use the phone so the images are a bit naff. In photo one you can see the rods. These currently twist in the block that holds them at the base. In theory they can be tightened up tight like the front rods however when you attach the top you have a problem...

Sadly no reference to whether the rods should be tight or loose at the back. I think you could tighten them with a washer but I will show with photos tonight. owen
