Most of my hard wood apart from pallets comes from scavenging wood which people throwing away such as old /broken furniture or off cuts. Last week got a piece of mahogany 400 wide and nearly 1000 long 1" thick. From my experience if you just knock on the door , politely ask and don't leave mess...

How thick is the glue? Otherwise I am thinking of good scraper in one of those holders could do the job. You don't have to do it all at once to avoid RSI.

Went back to play with it and to my surprise without doing anything it is moving freely as it should. The only difference is that at present it is colder than over the weekend.

Looking great.

I have taken it all apart. I did check the spring- still in one piece. I cleaned the cog as well as the rack. There was nothing at all on the rack and a tiny amount of wear on the cog. Then I put it back together. Admittedly I have used only oil for greasing it up before the assembly but it is...

The decision about next step was made for me. As I was going through net to find some other possible options I have read quite a bit of information about the chains and decided to see my "Rip" chain as sold to me by my local dealer. At first something did not look right. Then I compared it with...

Following your picture I tried to sort out my machines quill which is very stiff to move and the return spring can not operate it. I got it all out cleaned it. I could not find anything major what could impede the vertical movement. Put it back together with very small improvement. I will be...

Something what I am planning with my own machine but at present I have no balls to try it. I will look for any updates and try to build my own courage.

Thank you guys. To adapt the mill I would have to take of at least 6mm of the pads or get different bar and chain. I will see how much would be new bar and chain.

I have already specific bar and chain just for this purpose. Before I buy new bar and I guess that will need longer rip chain I wanted to know how much clearance I need as then I can look for specific bar width that I do not burn myself second time.

Hi guys I hope I can get some advice before I progress any further on my journey to being able to mill small logs myself. What I mean by small is up to 10" from locally resourced wood which I want to use for turning and small box making. The big thing about it is the sentimental value of the...

That stone is Charnlie and for that price is real bargain for someone who has patience and likes fine edges.

I would like to ask for an advice and tips what to get after all this misfortune is finished. I have small workshop garage for metal and wood work therefore extraction of grinding dust is for me essential that I do not contaminate my wood with metal. I am also aware of fire risk with grinders...

Just today I was cleaning 2 marking gauges and when I took them apart there was square plate inside with the thread in it. I did not know about is until the piece fell out when I dropped it on the floor. Once I got the pieces together is was easy to reassemble.

Thank you gentlemen. Time for me to find some decent machines to find price and start saving. Any recommendations for make of the 2x72" belt grinder?

Hi all. i am fed up with my 6" grinder stalling on me whenever I need to grind anything harder on it as well as after trying not being able to get rid of vibrations. I am having the dilemma about what to get 8" bench grinder or the belt grinder. I am grinding all sorts of stuff from wood...

Not sure why you did not receive it. I am still interested but it will make it more awkward to pick it up. Give me a ring on 07891093328 and hopefully we can organise something.

PM on the way

Some time ago at one of the steam fairs in Hertfordshire I got an invitation from one of the craftsmen there- cooper to his workshop in Old Knebworth Estate where he was still at that time making buckets and barrels that he would try to pass some of his knowledge of the trade. It took time...

Anyone can give some advice about bandsaws. At present I have the smallest version of Inca and the table is a bit warped, When I put on top a piece of plywood it decreases available depth of cut even further. For some time I have tried to get the bigger Inca bandsaw but at present their prices...
