Don't worry about cleaning up those rebates... bung a double glazing unit and some beading in them and they will never be seen again! With regard to the length question, I think it depends on how you are cutting the tenons. If you are cutting them using some sort of repeatable machine process...

Surely a batch of windows just needs a quick sand once they are assembled? Are they going to be painted? I appreciate you are doing this for yourself not for profit but surely hand planing window components is a bit of a waste of time? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Lovely job. How do you take the skirting profile around the bottom of the curved section once that has been formed on the spindle? Mike

Nice thread. Thanks Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Definitely. Good luck to anyone who wants to crane the machines out! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Indeed. I reckon it's pretty safe; there are some residential buildings on the site too. I should get some contents insurance though.... Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

So time ran out for the workshop in the dining room! The plan had been to build a timber structure in the garden, but that didn't look like it was going to work out in terms of the workshop size vs garden size negotiations, cost to build, and time to build when we have a house to renovate. So...

Welcome back Jacob. I think this forum would have been a poorer place without your experience and commonsense approach to woodworking. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I can't see why anyone would fork out £130 for a jig system that allows you to make (in an hour) something that can be bought for £40. And that's before we talk about material costs or blade sharpening. Madness. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I got a new water main moled 65m from the road to our house at a cost of £1500. They also put in some SWA cable at the same time for a potential future out building so needed to run the mole twice between each hole. The holes were dug every 10-15 metres I would guess. It was done by an...

Ha! Wise words. It wasn't the baby that asked for the furniture to be refinished!! Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

If you think you might want the 700 later then you could just consider getting it now instead of the 500. Seneca make an adapter to allow the 700 to take the 500 cutters, and there is a bloke on eBay in the UK selling knockoffs of these which seem to work just fine. I bought the domino 700 a few...

I think they are the same thing Custard. As far as I can make out from the ScoSarg website they are NH brand which is the same as the Axminster ones, the same as sold here and the same as Veritas sell in N America as their "premium mortice chisels". I've had a look at the ones on the shelf in...

Have a look at Egger MFC boards. They have quite an array of colours close to white. You can order samples from their website. My local Lathams carry a wide stock of their boards. The sheets are big though. 2.7 x 2.1 IIRC. Mike

There was a BBC article within the las5 couple of days about a baby which sadly died in one of those 'bed nest' cots when it's head when over the side. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co ... p/38318342

I had a similar machine and it was always clogging up so I removed the grill - much better. Was vacuuming the bench a while later and accidentally sucked up an oak bench dog and BOOM! The plastic impeller shattered into a few pieces. It was an old model and I couldn't get a replacement to fit...

Wow.

Off the top of my head I think I pay 30p per inch for planer knives. I think that when I got a 48 tooth plunge saw blade sharpened it was about a tenner, the cost is per tooth with a minimum charge per blade. Just had a quick search online which confirms my memory was correct. I didn't use...
