I love this thread, uplifting. Brilliant!

I have had a Scheppach ts 2500ci in my single garage for quite some time and it has served me well. I expect that the size of some of your anticipated work will be a determining factor in your final choice. The Scheppach is a great piece of kit though, might just be worth a thought.

Well done MikeG, thank you for sharing. It's definitely a big like from me 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 From my own standpoint, I am always immensely grateful to the wonderful members that I come across on the various forums that I regularly use. Thank you to all. be safe.

As far as I can see you can only put any piece of work into the jig one way. The front face of the jig is adjusted/positioned at 22.5 degrees so that the part of the timber to be machined is flat. It isn't possible to set it up as 'opposites' Below is a link to the jig being used...

Hiya pete, thank s for coming in on my query. I have placed each of the workpieces into the jig in an identical manner and, my understanding is that after cutting the first piece, whether that be the mortise or the tenon, all you need to do is then change whichever guide bush that you have been...

Do any of you fellow members use the Trend Mortise and Tenon Jig? I am using mine at the moment and have run into a bit of a problem that I can't seem to find the answer to. I experimented with some scrap timber and produced an excellent joint at the first attempt. My immediate thoughts were...

Thank you chaps, as helpful as ever, thank you all so very much. It's definitely an age thing you know. It really is so stupid but here's another example, when I'm eating my salad, I can never remember what that grated stuff is that I'm eating, I have to go to the fridge to look at the...

Hello folks, I am struggling a bit with my angles and would appreciate a little help if possible please. I am trying to check the angle settings on my mitre saw and have run into a memory blockage. I particularly want to check the 22.5 degree setting. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do...

If they can provide a good rendition of 'Danny Boy' I will keep em, if not, its the freezer for them! :lol:

Hi folks, I have acquired what was once a card table and, it is my intention to play around with it and modify it somewhat for use by my granddaughter. However, having dismantled it in readiness for lots of sanding and preparation, followed by a few coats of paint. I notice that in one or two...

Well chaps, thank you so much for all of your input. I have decided to change tack on this one. I am moving away from the complications of producing curved arches and instead, I am going to make them sort of (part) octagon shaped. I'm sure you will know what I mean. I'm convinced that I...

Thank you profchris and Trevanion, your suggestion is what I had in mind initially but, I have problems when trying to work out the angles at the numerous joints. If you can help in this regard I will be grateful. The purpose of the arches is to secure a length of 5 foot fencing that runs...

Thank you for your suggestion Doug71 but surely I will have the same construction problem doing that.

Hello folks. I need to make two arches, without the need for any process involving steaming/laminating. I want the profile to be as close as possible to 100mm by 50mm and made from tanalised timber. I have, hopefully, attached a rough image which indicates where I am trying to be. I will...

Thank you for your input Myfordman, Strangely enough I was just having a mooch around my workshop and I found a box of kitchen hinges and the thought crossed my mind that these might do the job. I also found the required 35mm bit to fit them. I think that I will give this a go. Thanks again...

I have made a cabinet and now need to hang the door. The whole thing is made from plywood and the door measures 600mm by 300mm by 18mm (not very big at all) It's not a fussy job, i.e. not a piece of furniture and, I am wondering what hings to use. My main concern is how to overcome the...

I have recently laid a quantity of decking and now wish to surround parts of it with some balustrading. The problem that I have is that apart from the section where you step up onto the decking, the newel posts will not be square on to the handrail and spindles. I am therefore seeking guidance...

I only bought a 473ml container at £10.96, this will last me quite a while.

Right then chaps, thank you for some really interesting comments on glue. I had to take my wife for her second cataract op today in Axminster and had a few hours to while away so I had a wander around Power Tools (Oh to have pots of money!) and, I purchased some Titebond Ultimate III. I...

Thank you chaps. What i have is Titebond original Wood Glue and Evostik Extra Fast Resin. Taking this matter a step further, Can I ask you if you would recommend a particular adhesive for general purpose use. Many thanks again for the valued input.
