Just outside of Boston good to here this curved doors coming up cheers Jon

They have always been orange I have knocked down the office that was in the corner and inside was painted orange by the previous tenant. This is what was removed Cheers Jon

Thanks for the comments its good to know people are interested and following this. Today i have been sorting out the inner carcases again in walnut on birch ply. The ends are rounded and the two panels are joined together with dominoes The frames are built around the carcase when its finally...

Too tight a curve for the power feed on this one Brian :D It has been discussed setting up both spindles but only really suitable for a bigger run of components plus I haven't got the tooling Cheers Jon

I reckon if every job was a curved one I'd be broke they always seem to take longer thn you think Your right I didn't mention it. The rails are machined out of the solid Cheers Jon

Time for a bit of an update on this. Started off using the router and homemade trammel to cut arcs so templates can be made to make the curved rails for the island unit Using the bobbin sander in one of the spindle moulders to help shape parts for the jig This jig is for the inside face...

I find at my local dump if a crate of Stella accidently falls out of the van when your unloading and you forget to pick it up the lads tend to turn a blind eye. Cheers Jon

Ive had some pretty poor service from axminster recently. Ordered earlier this year an edgebander and was told 4 weeks delivery which I was ok with. After 4 weeks there was no sign of it and no contact from axminster advising on the delay. After getting peed off and emailing them i got a reply...

I would usually make the fillet about 60mm x 60mm so if you've got 20mm thick doors it's spaced off 40mm. If its a framed kitchen I just make the frames meet up to form the fillet. As pip said if you've bought in the kitchen the fillet should be supplied or are you making you own doors? Cheers Jon

Looking good and heavy Alan . Just a word of warning about bubble wrap it can eat the pattern into fresh paint quite easily as I've found out to my cost before as some kitchen doors had a nice dotty pattern all over them where the paint ha reacted with the plastic. Cheers Jon

Thanks guys it looks like the wadkin one may well fit ill have a ring round tomorrow. I took a few bits apart today and have removed the shaft from the machine and discovered the bearings aren't quite as good as they should be. The motor and drive which is a large flat belt pulley run whisper...

Just getting around to having a go with the sagar overhead router i acquired from mattty a while ago. The machine solid cast construction and everything mechanically working well The problem is how to hold a cutter in the nut. The previous owner (not mattty) had just put a new style...

I've never noticed any problems Brian. The panels that go together in the bag have always been the balance sapele veneers. I imagine the veneer tape is too thin to make it a problem. Cheers Jon

Thanks for the comments Customers choice and the customer is always right as long as there willing to pay for it. :D I reckon 10 knobs equates to 1 Stella :lol: I like the dynapros been using them for a few years now . I think they were about £18 ish plus vat for the runners and clips...

Been a bit since i updated you so here goes. Frames are large rather than 1 for each cupboard so the first job is to site the frame and scribe it to the floor so that its level The frames are attached to the carcases with dominoes and pocket screws The carcases are leveled to the frame...

I usually use capital crispin veneer http://www.capitalcrispin.com/ Cheers Jon

I don't think veneer is particularly expensive as a material. I havent bought any cherry for a while but have just bought some black walnut which should be a similar price and that was £4 per square metre or about 40p per square foot. Cheers Jon

The most important thing I feel is the ability to produce quality work. Once you can do the quality the next thing is to be able to do it quickly enough to make a profit. If you can do both and get some good word of mouth going you should be ok. I do very little marketing as work generally comes...

Just seen this so speedy recovery mike Cheers Jon

Hi Karl for general assembly work I use mainly pva type glues either titlebond 3 or a d4 pva . I will sometimes use PU but find it a bit messy for general assembly work and for laminating will use uf resin. Cheers Jon
