I made one from metal trestles. The long bars in which the planer slides along are attached to the trestles. Nice and simple with minimal parts and works well for me. my-portable-wide-slab-flattening-jig-t117420.html#p1288199

At work recently they were throwing out some Phenolic cubical doors. I kept one in the hope of turning into a router table top. I had heard it is pretty hard to cut. I thought I would give it ago anyway. I had been looking at purchasing a commercial Phenolic pre-made router top. However they...

I have been using a 'temporary' setup for a while now... 5 years... However a few days ago I broke my quickly made under table dust extraction unit on my AGS 12. Dust has been spewing out a little more than I want so thought I should sort out the issue. To start this is what I had made...

Hi, I require some recommendations/advice on what size metal I should be looking at for my live edge table top. Using a volume to weight calculator it is approximately 80kg. I am going to get the metal in and cut it all myself then find someone to weld it together for me. Looking at a similar...

Ill test your idea once my jig as accessible again. (Big slab on at the moment). So far it seems to work.... When I first made it I did quite a bit of testing. I had flattened one side of a wide a slab, flipped and turned it checking it in both direction and the planed side sits flat on the...

Hi all. I have got to a stage where I need to start filling the knots in the live edge table I am making. Does anyone have a recommendation on what to use? Would Epoxy resin and black dye for most it be ok? the cracks are not that big but I would appreciation anyone else thoughts. IMG_5153...

Just finished my morticer in Blue and Black. Was originally going to do blue and white but I think it will show up the dirt to much. Matches my planer too! Morticer by jamie skinner, on Flickr Morticer by jamie skinner, on Flickr Morticer by jamie skinner, on Flickr

Finally got to a stage where I am happy to share my progress further! Here a video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TGM6HJcTOk&feature=youtu.be Added easy adjustment to the rise and fall mechanism with the use of a threaded rod and some hand wheels. It has a adjustable spring...

The standard nozzle on a printer is 0.4mm so that is you thinnest wall/thickness you can print. You can get smaller nozzle down to 0.2mm for finer detail. For small gears you would probably be best with nylon filament or carbon fiber filament depending on load. Resolution/accuracy wise if i want...

You can pick up 3d FDM printers for as little as £150. PLA Plastic is £15 for 1 kg which will make a 1 KG worth of parts. These parts probably cost 50p each in plastic. . If you can design the parts you can save your self a lot of time and money. And even make money selling the parts on as I do.

PLA will be fine for what you are using it for. With good layer adhesion and thick wall thickness should last a very long time! If there is room you could also add knobs to the nuts to make them a little easier to turn. Does the plastic marr the wood at all? Probably not tight enough to do...

will1983 - Thanks for the info! Great channel and have subscribed. The planer sled looked great! So I went to Screwfix Friday and emptied my bank account.... Spent Friday night and Saturday coming up with this: IMG_4355 by jamie skinner, on Flickr The planer is perfect as it has mounting...

Thought this may be of interest to some people.... I required a way to flatten a wide slab for a large live edge table top (2.3m x 900m) that I have been asked to make. Looking at some designs of just screwing 2x4s to the side of the slab... I was looking to make something a little more...

I use super glue when I replace my Makita orbit sander 125mm velcro pad. Never has come off. I think I must have about three stacked on it by now. I use Everbuild HV20 Grade HV 20Grm Industrial Superglue High Viscosity, Clear, 20g £3.18 on Amazon at the moment. I recommend the miter fast ones as...

Regarding your Kity machine. Have you had a look at adjusting/cleaning the rollers? Cleaning and waxing the tables. Sharpening and setting the knives correctly?

With anything like this I would try on some scrap wood first. Screw it into any wall just to test. Even a shed wall etc Add weight to see how much weight it takes to fail. I would imagine you will be fine as long as there is enough 'meat' behind the screw heads.

Brilliant! Thanks everyone. I will see if I can track him down at all.

Hi, I picked up a A. A. Jones & Shipman - Drilling machine from Gumtree for a hefty £5! I was wondering if anyone knows anything about them? Very little online about them. All I can really find out is that A. A. Jones & Shipman formed in 1911 from A. A. Jones, Pollard and Shipman when...

How to use a router on youtube. Work through some of these. Im sure you will pick it up quickly. Just remember you need to cut in the right direction. Some of the videos should cover this. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+use+a+router

Thanks Trevanion! Ill be keeping those safe then! I will need to give the Japanese chisels a clean up to see any makers mark, hopefully they are the the same high quality as the other bits. I will give the current tooling a go after a sharpen to see what results I get, I have an upcoming job...
