Sorry Derek but what is lining paper? Ian

Hi Derek I dont have any problems pressing it I was just concerned about the paper type for gluing, I want to avoid the risk of the veneer lifting of the paper. Cheers Ian

heres a place http://www.heritage-timber.co.uk/flexi.php Decoflex flexable veneer ( paperbacked )

Thanks Guys Philly that does look like a serious piece of kit, as I I'm just starting out in milling can you recommend any good reading? Some serious metalworking there Jason, I was hoping to perhaps design and make some of my own hardware but that is way down the line. I'll have a good look...

Hi I am going to upgrade me bench mounted drill press and thought it might be worthwhile looking at milling machines, I have £1000 so any pointers on what to look for would help. I think to have the option of milling metal and to help making jigs would be a real bonus. cheers Ian
