I would try running the router faster and plunge quite quickly in and out . Cheers Jon

It's definitely wenge it does look a bit lighter in the pics though probably the fluorescent lights in the workshop Cheers Jon

It's pretty much still at the stage as shown in the last photos. Hope to get some time on it soon but have been very busy with other work Cheers Jon

I've got a cantex a great bit of kit but at today's prices it would be hard to justify I think mine was £800 ish cheaper than today's price. Another piece of kit looking out for is a betterley flush trimmer I picked one up from a retiring local joiner for £40 and it works as well as the cantex...

Some of the ones on this page look similar http://www.hafele.co.uk/Hafele35a1/temp ... level=5671 Cheers Jon

We use a similar one from wealden but 1/4 inch shank so easier to use than a 10mm http://www.wealdentool.com/acatalog/Onl ... el_51.html Cheers Jon

I've had one for quite a few years the first one I had was a r6 I think and it buckled quite badly after a couple of winters as the steel of the drum is quite thin. It was replaced by a new drum made from 5mm steel and it has been fine for the last 4 or 5 years. Cheers Jon

You can keep the water in it as it helps to stop it from drying out Cheers Jon

Thanks for the interest the parts were purchased from logosol along with the timber to go with it see here http://www.logosol.com/store/uk/index.p ... ksbad.html The idea is as has already been said that the water expands the joints and makes it all tight and leak free. Had a few bits to...

A bit of fun for a Friday. A load of larch was delivered and we started with the base. The T&G boards were held temporarily underneath whilst a circle was routed out to 1.75m diameter The boarding was pre machined but a housing was needed to fit over the base so this was done on the RAS...

Guitar looking good. I've been working my way through make your own electric guitar by Melvyn Hiscock and it seems to cover most aspects of the build. I hope to start on 2 les Paul jrs soon. Cheers Jon

I'm having a bit of an open workshop day on the 27th of April anyone who wants to come along is welcome. Location is near Boston in Lincolnshire. There's no set itinerary but I was thinking of setting up some veneering demos edging and seeming veneers with handplanes and flat and curved press...

Your not to far from me and I would be happy to show you how to make one if you wanted to pop over for an hour or 2 one weekend. You can do most of the work with a profile and scribe set for the router. Your biggest problem will be the rebates in the sashes as they will be approx 40mm x 15mm and...

You can also use PU glue to apply the lippings just sand the back with a bit of 80grit first dampen one side apply glue and clamp. I think Ostermann sell a special glue to attach lippings with as well. I've always found that contact adhesive leaves a quite dark and rubbery glue line. Cheers Jon

I use it for denibbing between coats of lacquer usually 320g on the ros . My only complaint is that it can tear quite easily if using it on framed doors or frames otherwise I'm happy with it. Cheers Jon

I can live with the twisted handle so I think I'll keep it. Should I bring it along to the sharpening event? Cheers Jon
