if you’ve tried to marry up 8 faces of the mortices with 8 faces of the two tenons, that’s a bit of a challenge, to secure the shelf you only need 3 to fit, the others can have clearance (and probably should). A shallow rebate on the vertical rails would self-locate all the shelves, you then...

You might be able to just dap it in using a block with a dimple in and a dowel with a rounded end. If you have a go at spinning mind your fingers, I’ve seen some horrendous injuries from the edges (think exposed bacon slicer)

Load cells don’t directly measure force, they measure voltage and calculate force from it, graphs with no axes labels and I’m now bored of typing

What exactly are you asking?

Watching that guy taking about mechanics is like Donald Trump talking about medicine, it’d be funny if it wasn’t so painful

You shameless capitalist, what would Comrade Lenin think of you!

But if you applied that logic to everything… then what would you have to grumble about?!

Much old furniture is burr walnut on what appears to be fencepost, thankfully they don’t make it like they use to. Usefully the glue they used can be steamed off and then you can replace the substrate, but it’s a lot of work

Costs me £12 to have a £60 blade sharpened, where have you been buying your blades from then?

Mitre with a spline and drop the glass in a rebate on the top, basically a picture frame horizontal

Have a look for Pat Warner’s old website, he uses a fence that goes up and down and it’s a great alternative, though the spilt fence also has its uses as does a sacrificial fence.

Visio works, as do many other more specific packages

Exactly right.

The dent is fairly easy to make much better (steam it). Those cracks… are they just along the edging or is there a big vertical one on the face? If the former they may glue up ok, what happened to make them?

Fitting an alternative riving knife that’s below the top of the teeth is fine, but you need to add an alternative guard above the blade too. Similar for a cross-cut sled, you can make a decent guard into one just fine.

It’s a stick. no really. Ever cut up a cereal packet to make a template? Same idea

There’s a company in Buxton that make tables that might want to buy the base of and some parts of it (have a Google). Their resale price for things like that is steep, so you may get a decent price. Feels like every couple of weeks here someone has one of these available, sometimes they get...

That usage figure is not a warranty limitation, it’s advice. If you use a machine a lot, you may not get years of service out of it. I’m also dubious that any manufacturer who re-badges a commodity item (which a lot of Axminster’s machines/tools are) has done the work to quantify a usage figure...
