Any reason for using 12mm ? Personally I would use 18mm with three hinges. I made a bathroom cabinet which was 800 x 400 and used 18mm MDF with a bevelled mirror bonded on and only used two hinges on that. HTH. :wink:

Got started on the drawer fronts today using Doctor Bob,s tried and trusted method. I got this little lot done in the time it took me to drink my coffee. :D I cut the drawer front panels out of 6mm Then all hands to the pump to assemble them all. Which I did and put aside to dry while I...

The top one is 300mm and that is the smallest I can get in soft close. Their standard runners (no soft close) go down to 250mm. These are the ones I am using: http://www.bullerltd.co.uk/section/370/ ... lides-45mm :wink:

Thanks. I shall be using the 45mm soft close bearing runners for these.

No, it seems to do the job well enough. I find that larger items take a bit longer to vacuum but assume that is due to the large bag. Scuba tanks! now that brings back memories did that for around 20 years. :D

On Friday I made a start on a set of built in drawers for an attic room. Again these are all in MRMDF and will be painted. Spent most of Friday cutting out the pieces, rebating and cutting biscuit slots. I also got all of the drawer boxes cut out and slots cut for the bases. Next I made the...

I bought one a number of years ago and it is still working fine. I don't use it very often but have used it about four times in the past. Is it the complete kit with the bags? The pump does have to be left running though as the bags seem to weep a little. HTH. :wink:

Think I would have been in the next county with a telephoto lens. :shock: Quite surprised how the car next to it survived!

120 grit, brush on one coat of zinnser bin, 320 grit, prime, 600 grit top coat. high gloss a couple more coats of primer, jobs a good un.

That looks great, got to make myself one of those.

I use one of the domed brushes Terry mentioned in a drill to polish wax and it is great and saves a lot of time. For paint, lacquer etc i use a machine polisher designed for polishing car bodywork. HTH. :wink:

Ok, any excuse to post a pic up of my 'baby' Always wanted one of these and since i just got back into biking I had to have one. Only a 750 but sooo comfortable to ride. :D

Got another quick job finished today. I made these newel caps for a customers staircase. AWO to match the stairs and no finish. :D

That has turned out really nice Bob. I am surprised there is no breakout from the notcher on the back side? Do you use a sacrificial piece behind it? what did you use for the panel, 6mm MDF? Great WIP's thanks. :D

Looking good Bob. I have to ask a question though, how do you make the face frame beading? Obviously you can't place the curved section in the Morso notcher and it would be difficult to do it on the router table and get an accurate cut with the 45 degree cutter? I assume the actual bead is cut...

How about masking the areas to be glued and then paint them before assembly? :wink:

This is my little baby. Only bike I could reach the floor on. :lol:

I do agree to that Richard. I too have nothing against tattoos if they are hidden from sight or discreet but not blatantly covered in them or on the face/neck. My father had tattoos on his arms being an ex fisherman but always said he regretted them.

A guy I used to work with used to race those Bob. He won a lot of trophies for his races and even a £25,000 Aprillia which he has on show in his dinning room never started. He gave up racing as he couldn't get enough sponsorship to get into the big bikes.

I did see a guy with a tattoo on his throat consisting of a 'dotted line with cut here' along with some other facial tattoos! maybe this may be one for Jacob to consider? :lol:
