Looking really good and an interesting thread cheers Jon

As long as Chappers is interested I'll continue :D We need to make quite a few drawers from solid walnut so started by cutting it up into smaller bits Planed and Thicknessed Quite a few of the drawers are 300mm deep pan ones so the walnut needed joining so the boards were matched up and...

I would give these a call there in london and have huge stocks. The stringing isnt on the website but im pretty sure they do it http://www.capitalcrispin.com/default.aspx cheers Jon

Some more progress in between doing some other jobs. Started off by applying the bead to the frame parts. Because i wanted this to be super crisp i used a powerfeed on the router table. I havent got a dedicated feeder for the router table so the table is moved near to one of the spindle moulders...

It would be interesting to see a pic of your notching setup Bob I havent really considered doing it like that as i thought it would mean a new jig for every different width of stock used cheers Jon

Its more expensive than Poplar but has the benefit of being considerably harder. I think the cnd beech is around £650 to £700 a cubic meter plus the tax in comparison to poplar at about £500 ish cheers Jon

Been doing a bit more today started by ripping some stock to make the face frames in CND Beech which stands for colour no defect but in reality its pretty clean stock usually. Sections were machined on the planer thicknesser I prefer to do the widest face first and then thickness all of the...

Hi tsb it would certainly be cheaper to buy walnut faced mdf but the client was adamant that it was the birchply as the base material and was keen to have wide leaves of veneer. Hi Bob can you remember the name of the company. The quotes i had were more than double what you payed. I actually...

Looks good roger. Do you ever have any problems doing big pieces like this with alignment of doors due to wonky floors etc? cheers Jon

Progress today has mainly been more veneering. Popped out of the workshop to put the plinths on a little job we did a couple of weeks ago its a sprayed mdf and corian worktop for a foot surgery Back in the workshop just had time to start sorting out some beech for the frames we are using 1...

The airpress bags are quite thick polyurethane i think, but you can use quite thin plastic films which you can get from fibreglass suppliers which makes the bags almost disposable. The caul is just an offcut of mfc with the rounded corners to stop the bag from puncturing. The caul serves a few...

Been doing a bit more. Glue is a 2 part mix consisting of the resin And the hardener which looks like Cascamite The glue is mixed by weight and you have 5 parts resin to 1 part hardener. I have found that you need about 175 to 200g of mixed glue per square metre. I used to muck around...

cheers chaps hopefully this will be a very nice job when its done. The glue is a uf resin called borden ul39 a bit like cascamite but goes off in about an hour. Theres about 80 knobs there thats saved you some stella time doug :lol: cheers Jon

Its been a while since i did a project on here so here goes. Basically its going to be a walnut veneered birch ply carcased kitchen with a painted beech front. I ordered about 65m2 of black walnut veneer from capital crispins and got 4 sequential packs of veneer from 250mm to 320mm wide. First...

Any reason why you dont haunch your tenons or is it just to save time? cheers Jon
