Sounds like what you need is a 4 sided planer moulder. Your budget of 4k will however not stretch that far. You will also need a fairly hefty 3 phase supply to run them and a big extractor for the chippings. An Auction is probably the only chance of getting one for that kind of money but with...

Hi all Everthing is in place for the 22nd. You can see the workshop here about in the middle but will post directions in a week or so. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&sourc ... 7&t=h&z=18 Chocolate Cake sounds good :D . I was thinking about putting on a barbecue if the weather is good. Any...

If you want a few members to test drive the benches for you I am hosting a bash on 22 August at my workshop near Boston and you would be more than welcome to bring one along. Jon

I would have thought you would have to balance the fireback material adequately to prevent the top from warping. You may get away balancing with a thin laminate or using the same thickness is better. I cant see what benefit you will get from using 3mm laminate. Stamdard thin laminate would be...

My Modernish Multico (10-15 years old) has a Brook Crompton Motor of about 1.5Hp. Some of the older ones have Hoover Motors on them. Jon

That would be good Brian hope your back from holiday in time. I only have some old fettled stanleys and a couple with electric tails :shock: and would like to try some premium wares. Jon

Another vote here for the basics. I have dabbled with sketchup but cant seem to get the hang of it. Jon

Nice work Brad looks a good match for colour and style. Jon

I would build up the top section arch in 4 pieces. 2 uprights either side and 2 pieces which meet in the middle. To join these it would be best to use a large loose tenon which is pegged together. The groove for the loose tenon could be cut on either the spindle if you have big enough tooling...

Waterbourne lacquer will keep the maple lighter than a pre cat or acid cat lacquer but there is little that can be done to stop the timber yellowing with exposure to light which will cause the maple to go yelllow in time. Jon

The veneer looks like santos rosewood to me. Jon

There is no charge for the hospitatlity. I will post details and directions a couple of weeks beforehand. Jon

I have used them for getting on for a year now and have stood up well to life in a pro shop. It gets most use on the planer for squaring stock. The newer versions seem to be improved with options to add featherboards to the standard piece and are now available in a nice shade of yellow...

I like the branding idea and the stools not bad either. Do you have a link to where you got the brand from. cheers Jon
