Just a basic trend fixed space jig and router. Took about 4.5 hours to do 30 drawers . cheers Jon

Been cracking on with this. I have assembled the base units using dominos and carcase screws. The face frames are also dominoed to the carcase and the face frames are pockets screwed to the carcases. I dont bother screwing them on until they have been painted as the dominos hold them on fine for...

I would use double sided tape. cheers Jon

I usually neutralise with water. Jon

Hi Brad The A/B bleach is stronger than the oxalic acid. The oxalic acid is better for removing stains watermarks etc wheras the A/B will change the colour more evenly allowing you to stain to a consitent colour. I think i would use the A/B mix myself. The process for the A/B bleach is let...

could do with a chatroom though.

I think Jason has pressed the button :D cheers JON

Thanks Chris. Just downloaded it and first impressions are good i am used to autocad and trying to get on with sketchup and could immediately use doublecad. My old student copy of autocad doesnt work with the new windows operating systems and this will be most usefull. thanks again Jon

Been doing a bit more on the kitchen. Started off by setting the machines up to make the doors. The tenons are cut on the tenoner giving a 6mm X 16mm long tenon. The sedgwick spindle moulder was set up for grooving with a zero clearance fence. Because the Ash can tear a little when...

you will have to wait till tommorow matty forgot the camera today. cheers jon

I often use satin chrome butt hinges but these ones are going to be on concealed inset hinges. Some of the frames are flush with the inside of the carcase because there are drawers inside the cupboard and it is easier to fit the drawer runners this way. These units will have a normal mounting...

I have been contemplating the purchase of a festool rotex mainly for use on solid surface worktops. I have come across this makita at about £200 cheaper which on paper does the same thing as the rotex. juts wondering if anyone has used one and any views on it really. Cheers Jon

I have had a few of the replaceable blades break while using mine but i would have thought thats its more likely a fault in the metal to have the cutter snap like that. I have had a few 1/4 inch cutters snap on me but never a 1/2 inch one. Cheers Jon

I would have thought so. :D cheers Jon

I have had a little break from this but I am back on it now. Started of by jointing the carcase components. The domino is turned into and aeroplane by adding the cross stops. Using these means that you can work all the components without any marking out. carcase ends are jointed with the...

I pretty much use pva for all my veneering and must have done hundreds of panels. You need to use a D3 or D4 grade to avoid creep and you need to get a thin even layer of glue down quickly. I use a pizzi gluing roller but you should be able to do a small area with a mini gloss roller. I always...

I think that was me and matty trying to convince ed to spend his bonus on a domino :D cheers Jon

Go for it Ed :D Was good to meet up with youself , steve, matt and richard. cheers Jon

Whitehill do a few cutters that are close to what you want. If you select limiter cutters and 96X55mm block here you should be able to see them. http://www.whitehill-tools.com/Cutters.aspx . cheers Jon

Thanks for the comments. Matty - The finish is satin yacht varnish as the customers didnt like the darkening of the light oak sikkens that I usually use. John - The doors were glazed before fitting but the top light was glazed on site so that the frame could be fixed at the top and the top...
