I'm certainly not thin skinned and prefer people to comment good or bad on work and discuss stuff. I was genuinely interested to see what you would post as furniture with soul but respect your decision not to justify it. Would it have been krenov or malloof esque or maybe rustic and honest or...

Can you point me in the direction of something you've made so I can see what furniture with soul looks like. Just curious Cheers Jon

Hi robin the unit gets thinner as it get towards the glass door it's about 400mm deep at the far end reducing to about a 120mm pocket to allow the door to slide into the back. The wall has a step in it so the middle part is about 250mm deep. These act as the handles or way of opening the doors...

Hi John yes the ceiling runs out about 20mm. The floor is pretty level about 3mm out in 5 metres. The doors were made from 18mm mdf . Solid oak lippings were applied to the edges a thicker one for the handle detail and then veneered so doors probably end up at about 19 mm thickness Cheers Jon

A job just finished . Start with 50m2 of quartered European oak from capital crispin. Joint it into large layons approx size 2.3 x 5m Construction is MFMDF carcases The sliding door in the above picture will slide into a pocket created by the carcases when finished. Jump forward a...

I still haven't had time to start on this but hopefully will be on it soon. Cheers Jon

Nice work Ed . Cheers Jon

Some blue cupboards nearly finished Cheers Jon

Forgot last night I was going to have a go at this and missed the deadline but will do a thread anyway The board is the wider of the walnut ones above the wenge boards I'm going to make something contemporary in design Cheers Jon

Looking good so far. From the pics of the timber It looks like sapele to me. Cheers Jon

Having used the veritas plane at cressing I was very impressed. I've had a LN 51 for a while now and it gets used a lot in my busy shop and I find it great to have a dedicated shooter to hand and easily copes with 30mm plus thick stock if required. To say whether its worth it is hard and...

I use these people and they are in stoke http://www.panelco.com Cheers Jon

I've just bought the dewalt albeit just the fixed base version this week and first impressions are that it is solid and a decent tool cost was around £150 . I didn't go for the kit as I have numerous plunge routers and wanted a dedicated trimmer. I had a T4 and it blew up got a replacement that...

Does it say wadkin on it as it looks like a Sedgwick machine? Wadkin did a light duty version called the tradesman range so could be one of them.It doesnt look like any of there desirable heavy duty morticers like the dm. Price 250 to 400 I would think. Cheers Jon

I use these mainly in satin chrome. Price is about £2-3 per pair quality is good http://www.carlisledesigngroup.com/inde ... turnid=112 Cheers Jon

Its pretty sturdy to be honest and does wobble very slightly in use. It was intended as more of an assembly bench but its possible to handplane on it the biggest advantage to me is being able to move it about and change the height easily. Theres a thread here showing how it was made...

I have based some of my benches on the festool mft tables . The top is a torsion box with 20mm holes at 96mm centres. This one is seen attached to a hospital bed to give height adjustability. Holes cut with a router and guide bush. Cheers Jon

Cutting solutions a member on here does a disposable blade system . I think its this barke system http://www.barke.de/web-content/eng/hobelmesserEN.html Cheers Jon

How thick do you need the lipping bob? We often glue 3 or 4 sheets of the veneer together to ger a 2-3mm thick lippping which is a perfect match for the veneer. cheers jon
