A freind of mine is involved in setting up this club show and has asked me to make people aware of it. It on Saturday at Cranwell and will be a good day out for anyone intersted in woodturning http://www.lincsturners.co.uk/programme/poster.html cheers jon

Im just outside of Boston and work a fair bit in Lincoln. If you need small pieces too practise with i could let you have some choice offcuts that are destined for the wood burner. Ive got the Veritas tenon and dovetail saws and they are very good value for money. For timber theres a merchant...

I particularly enjoyed the japanese guy rearranging his chisels :D cheers jon

I used to use expensive cutters but moved on to these http://www.axminster.co.uk/axcaliber-do ... rod808970/ They seem to last as long as an expensive one and are really cheap. cheers jon

No book as far as i know cheers jon

Yes its pretty simple. You may find your motor is going backwards if so just swap over 2 of the red wires and it will go the right way. cheers jon

Wadkin and Wadkin Bursgreen are probably the most desired of the older machines because of there solid build quality. These old machines reconditioned by dealers often have a hefty price tag. Robinson probably made as good a machine as wadkin but there seems to be more wadkins in the market...

Scrit was definately the man to provide you with information but unfortunately he doesnt post anymore. There will be lots of info in the database here so searching for wadkin robinson etc and author scrit should provide some information. You can get pdf manuals here of a lot of the old wadkin...

You could do it with a router guidebush and template and a 3mm bit. You would need to take light cuts and do the 5mm deep in about 3 passes to avoid the router bit snapping. cheers jon

You could do a mortise and tenon which is a lot more time consuming. You could just glue and pocket screw the joint needs clamping to stop the joint riding up when you drive the screw in. You could also make your own router jigs to either loose tenon or dowel the joint together. cheers jon

My preference is for the 4.8mm one for kitchens and cabinetry and either a 6.4 or 8mm one for large built ins such as wardrobes. I prefer dominoes for assembling the face frame and also dominoes for attaching the frames to the carcases which can either be clamped on or pocket screwed. Some pics...

I shall be there on the saturday cheers jon

count me in for the nascent :D cheers jon

Hi Mike I have had a tm3 the same as yours but 3 phase for about 6 years now and its a great little machine. You get used to setting it up and what used to take an hour of messing around setting up takes 10-15mins. I generally keep sample blocks of the tenons i cut regularly which makes...

Are the door internal or external? I would say a ball park figure from myself would be about £1200 internal £1500 external article looks interesting dibs will check it out when i have some time cheers jon

looks interesting. Has anyone used one of these for a while and can comment on long term accuracy and hoe often it needs calibrating? cheers jon

Looks good matt have you made the kitchen yourself? cheers jon

I picked up a new spindle this week as you can never have too many :D It was bought from a tender sale and i didnt have time to go to the viewing so i was relying on JH Bigleys opinion and thankfully it was ok :D I put a bid in of £201 and won the auction. Its a bit heavier duty at 7.5 hp...
