Wow that is a lot of output. They have a really modern edge to the design. How did you go about the veneering and the jointing on the curved unit? Its a shame the photos are a little fuzzy as it is hard to pick out some of the grain which must be lovely. Owen

Wow that is lovely. Your daughters are very lucky to recieve those as gifts. I have a massive stack of 3.5m lengths english cherry planks that i picked up for a song on ebay. The one plank i worked with was quite tricky to manage but the grain was lovely. How did you find the english cherry to...

I have checked with a straight edge that the pulleys are in alignment now. No play in bearing or block and the motor does not appear to have any twist. Whe I tensioned up the belt the problem seems to be that there is an initial flap on startup and a little bit off flap on running but the...

I have been happily planing and thicknessing all day and was almost finished when I hear a flapping noise. Looking at the back of my planer thicknesser I discover the belt is going mental and flapping about. I took the back off and had a look, the belt is 3.4 inch wide and has 6 grooves or so...

I have just read one of the reviews for the startrite machine. The Tag line is "Alan Holtham is quite pleased with machine from Startrite". I don't know why but the quite pleased bit made me LOL. :lol: Owen If you want an assessment of a hammer B3 I am happy to give my two pennies worth as an...

Very Nice work there and using hand tools to flatten all those boards and bring to square is no mean feat. However I must raise issue with this clean workshop trend that is sweeping the site. I feel too embarassed to post any of my work as my workshop is a right mess. Owen

I imported the v28 set some years ago when the exchange rate was a bit more favorable. What I purchased certainly had different code numbers and information to the uk ones. However only the charger seemed to be different in practise and I fairly sure I could have stuck a 110v plug on it and it...

I bought a lot of sycamore recently for some doors i made and I had a lot of problems with movement despite leaving it to settle for a least a month. I think that as a timber its a bit feral and seems to just want to go its own way. looking at the grain of the timber you have it looks like the...

Sorry forgot to edit this. It is currently held for collection in a couple of weeks time if it passes inspection of the buyer. If not I will bump it the one time you are allowed.

There is a very simple solution to the lack of skills. I let a lot of student bed spaces in my job as a letting agent and it is clear that many students are doing Mickey Mouse courses at Uni. They are simply there because they want to do what their friends are doing etc. So put the courses at...

I have the veritas sharpening system which is like the worksharp one. I buy the abrasives in sheets from fibre optic polishing sites thaey come on a A4 sheet and you just cut to size. They are a bit cheaper than the other sites listed above and you can get very fine abrasives. Just search 3m...

That is very nice. I think it is one thing to do a single piece of furniture but to do a whole set requires a lot of dedication. Lovely work, nice proportions good finishing what more can i say. Owen

I have a Hammer B3 and I have to say i love it. It has been in use for over a year and a half without a hiccup. When i had couple of problems I spoke to felder uk and they were very good. the engineer talked me through over the phone. I accept that people have had problems but they have done...

Capacity is 255mm planer width by 180mm. The spec is on the axminster site. I think in old measurements that is 10x6inch You do not need to lift the tables as it is an under and over planer so you just wind down the bed to fit the dust extractor hood If you are planing and the opposite when...

For sale my sedgwick planer thicknesser. Its the Pt model and in a pleasant green colour. Its not new but is in good working order. When I bought the planer it was on a standard three pin 240v plug but I have changed it to a commando style one. It comes with 12 replaceable double sided blades in...

They are about £130.00 as you have to have a minimum order. But you get twelve double sided blades. That will keep most people going a long time. I expect if several people clubbed in might reduce the minimum order.

I have for sometime struggled with fitting blades to my planer thicknesser. It always takes me forever. I initially thought I would have to persevere but, Cutting Solutions, a member here located a source of disposable blades that can be retrofitted. They are brilliant and I would reccommend the...

Very nice work. I wouldn't have thought to salvage that saw. I like the maker mark which is a nice touch.

It is the baby one I think the PT (a cast iron baby) I will be photographing tomorrow for its impending sale. Ebay is the scourge of my life!
