I certainly think you have the making skils to go self employed Adam and working for someone else i am sure you have the experience and speed that is required to be successfull. There are no easy answers to how to get work but word of mouth and building up a reputation for quality at a fair...

I have been buying quite a few Titman bits recently and find them to be excellent. I also use Wealden Trend Freud and CMT bits which are also good. The yellow perform ones from axminster are also a good option for non industrial hobby use and are keenly priced against the premium brands...

very impressive work adam thanks for posting. Cheers Jon

looks good. shelves on adjustable pins would be fine i would have thought. I would also in future maybe move the hinges so they are closer to the top and the bottom of the cabinet as they support the door better like that maybe 85-90mm centres from the door top/bottom. cheers jon

The easiest option is to connect it to a 13 amp plug and start using it some spindles come with a power take off socket on them for connecting the power supply too. It is possible to get an electrician to wire it into the starting circuit of the spindle but I dont think its worth it in your...

surely you have forgotten opening tins of paint and filler :D cheers jon

The kitchen is virtually finished apart from the plinths coving and end panels which will be fitted in the new year so here are some almost finished piccies. Main run the corian is joined between the sink and the hob. some drawers The corner the sink it was a bit daunting routing the...

Instead of buying in the worktops it was decided that it would be a good idea to fabricate the corian worktops in house. About 4 weeks ago we did a corian training course at the workshop and became registered fabricators. Loads of pony spring clamps are used to hold the pieces in place while...

Just an obsevation on the window board. Timber doesnt expand or contract along its length so there is no need to allow any gaps at the ends. The bowing is probably down to it not being fitted properly. well done for taking this on. cheers Jon

Is the capacitor ok. The one on my 4010 went after about 5 years of fairly heavy use and caused the saw not too start. There are no safety switches on mine. cheers Jon

You could try here you will have to buy 50m but it is only £14 http://www.reddiseals.com/acatalog/drau ... l_5mm.html should also fit in the side. I usually use aquamac 63 seal on windows and small quantities can be bought from trend but you will also need to buy a fairly expensive cutter or...

i saw that glass worktop company at the ecobuild exhibition last year and it looks really good. cheers Jon

Nice job brad. What worktops are they going to have? Whats the reason for the handle line on the tall units not being in line? cheers jon

The finish is basically a couple of coats of primer followed by a couple of coats of pigmented acid catylsed lacquer. The finish is sprayed using a fuji HVLP turbine. The finish shows the grain of the wood through the paint so the woodwork only needs sanding to 80grit and then the wood is...

I find it best to assemble the carcases and shoot the doors in especially on framed kitchens. It takes a little longer in the shop but the units are ready to go on site and makes fitting a lot easier. The coving is being kept simple and is basically rectangular with a chamfered edging. The...

I thought this site was for all woodworkers whether pro hobby or whatever. Is it still allright for us pro woodworkers to post on this hobby site :D cheers jon

Just an update on this. The fitting is well under way and should be mainly finished tommorow and I should be able to template for the worktops as well. Base cabinets Wall units 2250mm high by 3600mm long a couple of miele cookers a microwave and warming drawer in the middle and liebher...

Do you need to have any runners at all. Could you not just make a traditional drawer that fits into its own space in the carcase. cheers jon

If you cant find anyone on the forum with bits it may be worth contacting Daltons in nottingham as i believe they have spare parts for wadkin machinery http://www.daltonsmachines.com/. cheers Jon

And add 2k to the cost cheers jon
