It's between 25 and 35 percent in my assembly room. I don't know whether that's in line with a house RH or not or if is a little low? Cheers Jon

Hi DT i did consider it but wanted the grain of the wood to flow through on the bottom carcase . Cheers Jon

Yes the old elu is very well regarded. I've got a couple of 177e's and a 96 and a 98 all still going strong. Cheers Jon

I agree with jase. It also looks like you've got quite a bit of tenoner tooling so if you can work out what machine it's from you should be able to sell them on ebay for a profit. Cheers Jon

Got the units placed together to see how it looks Going to start on the veneering next and hope it gets a little warmer soon so I can start spraying. Cheers Jon

I've got three of these and am happy with them. The backs took a while to get flat but they are a big chisel. They seem to hold an edge well and are nicely balanced. Cheers Jon

im making this for myself so have only made the bottom carcase today as i needed to do other jobs I was toying with the idea of rosewood drawers but i think im gonna stick with the wenge although it would look nice cheers Jon

Thanks for the interest Got the other 2 carcases done today and have changed the design slightly from the one posted as I think it flows better Made a slight mistake on one bit so will need to make a new panel Just having a bit of a look to see what the wenge back will look like Thanks...

You can touch up the bits with a diamond stone but if you send them off to be sharpened the radius will reduce slightly so you will need an undersized bearing . If its difficult grain I tend to use sharp brand new cutters or carefully climb cut which s not a technique I would advise until your...

I generally use Titman Trend Freud Trend Cmt and Wealden. All are good Titman are probably the best and what I would use for a big production type job. Wealden are the best value IMO. For your trimmer I would recommend this with replaceable blades and you'll probably not have to buy another...

Today's instalment started on the Carcases and realised I had made a mistake with the length of the sides . I had not added on the thickness of the top and bottom so the solution was to turn the sides around so the holes I had already dominoed were on the outside and make some new bottoms and...

A little project I am just starting which may be of interest. I have already cut up a load of 25mm mrmdf which will become the shelving unit. There's a few mitre joins in this and the mitres have been cut on the panel saw and then jointed with dominoes A 3mm round is put on the inside edges...

It's worth getting a frame as it helps greatly against digging in and aids getting a nice flat surface. Mine is a green and black model beginning with F and the frame allows the tool to be used for delicate work like sanding veneered work as well as heavy stock removal on a solid table top...

It looks more like teak than iroko to me. Cheers Jon

It is possible that it is real teak. I've got quite a bit of teak that was originally science room work benching sometimes you can get lucky :D Cheers Jon

I was told kreg are being distributed by silverline. Don't know why they wanted to go downmarket. Cheers Jon

It does seem a bit fast . It seems that the out feed table drops each time you feed the timber through which seems a bit strange. Cheers Jon
