Byron , I will give CITB a call and ask if you like ? They used to pay the collage fees for students but you would need to have one day a week to go .

When i asked my mum what she wanted for Christmas she said she wanted a little stool so she could reach the top of her larder ( shes 5'4") So with a week to go i thought id better get on with it :oops: I turned the legs on the Legacy and decided to do a through mortice and put a maple wedge...

Ive not seen those fixing plates before , they look just the ticket ! Paul , there is no base rail on the string so i'm hoping the water wont pool as the angle is to great . It is a problem on the base rail on the balcony part and although the balusters don't touch the bottom of the base rail...

Jason , i priced around six different timbers and they went for the cheapest option :roll: Mr G i agree and did say it would be better to build brick piers with a cement bed running away from the posts but what do i know compared to an architect eh :roll:

S&T is sawn and tanalized or pressure treated timber . I do hope your not mocking the architects idea of putting lead sealed feet aroung the newel posts :twisted: I thought fixing the balusters to the string was better than putting a base rail on and directing the water to the M&T in the...

Whats a bushing thingy :? http://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/acatalog/Project_Accessories.html On the key ring bit . :sign3:

Byron A friend of mine has just take on a 33year old that is putting himself through collage to become a carpenter and joiner . He wants to learn and having worked with him he is picking it up very fast . I think you are past the picking it up stage so you may find you will get paid a larger...

I was asked to make a couple of staircases for some penthouse suites as the ones they had made before had gone rotten within a few years . The ones in place where redwood and in a very bad state . I opted for S&T and took 1mm off all round on the timber yards thicknesser :wink: and decking...

Bryon , do you think its working for someone else thats getting you down or do you really hate gorgeous women sat in front of you every 10 mins asking you to look into their eyes :lol: The reason i'm asking is even as self employed you have to do things you don't like doing .

I like that :D Looking forward to seeing the finished product .

I bet your very proud of that !

Very nice , i like the design .

Teach them how to make a casement opener or a door rather than a bloody wooden train or some other tat . Im sure you will be told what you have to teach them when you get there :roll: My fave under the CITB was the bullnosed staircase about a foot high , my mum was sooooooooooo proud when i...

Well done Waka :D Another 32 years for me :roll: Im making a door at the moment for a 78 year old plumber who is still plumbing :shock: He just loves his job he told me .

I was told when thicknessing to stand to the side of the timber incase it kicks back . A 100mm x 50mm hurts when it hits you in the nuts at ?RPM :shock:

:lol: What are you trying to say :lol: I agree alot of the stuff is over the top but i suppose once you find out its easy to do you go over the top on everything . Harry Tippett is a fine example of how to use the Legacy without going OTT IMHO . http://legacywoodworking.com/artist.cfm?artist=16

Hi Gidon , annoying isn't it :lol: My theory was if the cutter was hitting two edges rather than one it would stop the chipping so yes i chamfered the edge a couple of mm so the cutter didn't get that first grip into the grain . This stopped the very big chips .I also ran a marking gauge along...

Hi Joe , we didn't drill out the hole we used the Legacy :D http://www.legacywoodworking.com/ I have turned a bowl on the Legacy but bowl turning is more fun on the Lathe imho .
