I'm not familiar with the saw, so just looking at your pictures .... could you not use shims to bring it square? Couple of suggestions below, but I can only go from your pictures. A set of old feeler guages can be useful for making shims (by cutting them up). Try shimming where the arrows...

Try Tung oil on a piece, and it's food safe. The only thing you might have to consider (because it's a pub/restaurant) is a possible reaction to those with an allergy to nuts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tung_oil#F ... _reactions "As the source of tung oil is a nut, people with nut allergies...

Really lovely workmanship - that's something I'd be proud to own (let alone produce). Can I ask what was the approx cost of the material? And is any of it veneered?

Ask the manufacturer what they use and how it is applied? If you are a customer they might oblige perhaps .... it must be worth a phone call.

Hi - I used this method by paulm to fit a heavy vice, it really saves the strain. vices-fitting-a-record-bench-vice-t25365.html

Ring Ian at Tuffsaws - 07896-058499, give him all the machine specs and the type of cutting you want to do - he will sort you out. http://www.tuffsaws.co.uk Highly recommended and first class service.

Inspired by the list of Niki's jigs posted here ... I thought I would try making a couple of large clamps - the cost of materials was less than £5. They are not complex or a work of art :shock: but quite functional/adaptable. These will clamp from 1½" to 40" (3.8cm to 1 metre). I tightened...

Picked up these old Record clamps yesterday; £1 the pair. Quick clean, lick of paint - they will do for me.

The benefit of forum software over a blog is that there are many more choices available in terms of layout and design templates. PHPBB has been around for years and has had probably more than a million man hours pumped into it. vBulletin is a paid option that is excellent. With a paid option...

I am finding that the wider the 'face' of steel exposed (as the positively charged anode) ... the quicker the results, even at 1 or 2 amp draw. So rather than threaded rods, I'm using a few of these now. Just a thought.

According to the show more link there: In this video we follow a board of English walnut on its journey through the workshop to the homepage of our website.

Looking good, thanks for posting the latest pics.

Those mitres look excellent - do you use a jig to cut them? If so, I would love to see a photo of it.

There is absolutely no way that will be earthless ! ! A quick Google found this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Wiring- ... lathe-mot/ Look at the 3rd photo down ... Chrispy is correct imo

Hi Steve - I just used 3M 80 grit to clear off the original coating (about 5 minutes), then spent a couple of hours sanding. :) Cheers

Hi guys - well I might be wrong about the price point? I found this which I think is an identical blade, on offer for £42 +delivery? http://www.oldtools.co.uk/tools/Wm._Mar ... _57mm.html Here's mine:

Based on my research about band saw blade recommendations on this forum, I contacted Ian at Tuffsaws for some advice on a blade choice. He answered all my questions in such a way that I had to try at least one blade from Tuffsaws. I am so glad I did. The difference it made to my...

I bought a few bits in the last couple of weeks. I bought this for £1 ... and turned it into this: I got this for £3 ... which now looks like this: and this Stanley No 4 for £3: ... which I just cleaned up and refurbed the handles: Then I came across this and bought it out of...
