If you want to drop me a PM we can discuss the possibility of a pallet delivery. You're right though, it is a beautiful part of the country to visit - maybe treat yourself to a relaxing weekend in the Forest of Dean :lol:

Now SOLD to Lazarus - Thank you.

PM coming your way RE the chair plans.

Having another thinning out of my book collection. The Practical Woodworker by Bernard E. Jones Volumes 1, 2 and 4 - I never got around to buying Volume 3! :lol: These are beautifully written and illustrated. They are concise (no waffle to pad out the pages) and get straight to the point...

$5000 :shock: Has the world gone mad! Bizarrely, when looking for Eskilstuna on that auction site I found this drafting desk. I had one of these 25 years ago. I bought it for peanuts at an auction but some years later when I needed to sell it there was absolutely no interest at all so I ended...

Thanks Rodders, I don't know how I missed that thread when I searched :? Indeed there is some good information there. Interesting to see that comment from Phil.p: That sounds like it could be the same as the one I have. Mmmmm, it's doing nothing sat in a cupboard, if it's worth some decent...

Hi All, Over the last few weeks I have been downsizing my workshop and clearing out some of the items that I don't use etc. The other day I stumbled upon this old plane that I inherited some years ago and has been sat at the back of a cupboard ever since. Having Googled around for it I...

Hi All, I know that there has been an almost immeasurable amount of discussion regarding dust and chip collection here before - I have read a great deal of it already. That said, I apologise if I am covering old ground. If anyone can point me to specific posts/threads I'd be very grateful as I...

Wow, what a great resource, thanks MM - found some great info on my newly acquired Myford ML7. Having looked through various Kity diagrams and manuals on that site I can conclude that the the 638 has very little in common with either the 636 or the 439 #-o I didn't get a chance to get out to...

Almost, I'm about 8 miles from the border :) OK, thanks. I'm just off to have a look at it now and see if I can work it out. I'll let you know if I need any info. I haven't taken it apart. I did consider it but it still runs quite smoothly and I can get to the parts that need greasing...

I had a good look at it yesterday and I think that the main area of concern is correctly mounting the assembly which carries the pulley for the thicknesser drive arrangement. It's a steel 'cage' which bolts to the side of the chassis and is pivoted by the 'engage drive' lever to apply tension on...

Hi all, A few weeks ago I stripped down my Kity 638 to machine some new bushes for it and give it a general service and clean. What with one thing or another I didn't get around to reassembling it until yesterday. When I looked at the collection of parts before me my mind went a bit hazy and I...

I have not come across these before. I'll give them a good look. I am all in favour of low tech solutions where they will work effectively. The house was designed to consume as little energy as possible so the more passive systems we have in place the better. That said I would carefully weigh up...

Sorry, I did notice your post and that sounds like a plausible solution but I don't think it will work for us. Having just decorated the house and got everything straight I didn't want to have to punch holes through the thick stone wall to install extractors. There's also the issue of heat loss...

Wow! A wealth of great information, thank you everyone for your constructive advice. To tackle a few of the points raised: The condensation occurs mainly on the glass, however I did notice yesterday that there was a little moisture on the frame itself so I suppose it's safe to say that the oak...

Hi All, First off, apologies to mods if this is in the wrong board, I wasn't sure if it should be here or in General Chat. About a year ago I made a batch of oak sash windows for our old stone-built farm cottage that we are renovating. They were to replace uPVC windows that weren't old and...

Marcros hasn't taken delivery of his saw yet so hasn't been able to make a photocopy of his riving knife for me. Does anyone else have a Kity 619 that they would be able to scan/photocopy/trace/photograph the riving knife for me please. I have fashioned a rough one from aluminium for the time...

That's correct, I did work without any guarding on the saw. In operation though the cuts on the saw felt much more comfortable and a lot safer (not to mention much quicker) than taking big bites on the SM with the rebating block. I hadn't considered using a groover on the moulder. I do have a...

I hadn't thought of taking a course, Peter is just up the road...mmmmm. :) And thank you for the offer Roger, I'll see how this next week goes. I did some rebating on the moulder yesterday and it went reasonably well. I tried taking about 45mm x 16mm out of seasoned oak but it didn't feel...

Wise words Jacob. Thanks. I have a couple of plastic push sticks which I tend to use only if I'm cutting small stock and theres a chance of having my fingers too near the blade for comfort. I'll give it a try using push sticks for every cut and see if I can maintain a decent level of precision...
