The rise and going are in the regs so you cant really go wrong 8-[ ok you can :lol: I find building a level area in the workshop ( a mock up of the walls and floors) makes it easier and for the few quid it costs its worth hours of head scratching . This way i can actually put the strings in...

Its a "One way" chuck made in Canada . I got the chuck screw and another thing that fits it to the lathe £145 in all for £80 :D I gotta stop buying tools I gotta stop buying tools I gotta stop buying tools I gotta stop buying tools I gotta stop buying tools ](*,)

They are a real brain teaser if you dont do them all the time . I get about 1 a year and have to mock up an area in the workshop to actually build it .I dont think id be able to build it on the bench and keep my brain from frying :shock:

Well when i opened the box i wasn't impressed but this little tool is great . It looks like a fisherprice my first P/T but once i got the thicknesser going it reduced my timber in no time . I found it can leave some cutter marks but very slight and nothing a quick sand wont get rid of . Its...

Just picked one of these up for £80 in a manager special basket .Any good ?

Tyvek as jake said before , when i was misreading his post :oops:

Brian , PM sent .

I was looking at the two i have to copy tomorrow and it would need to be a very small tenon to leave any sort of haunch on it . I spose ill just do the comb or double M&T as thats the joint on it and it will be quick this way . I was just wondering if i could do a better joint than the original .

Kev , i made a box sash window today and took loads of photos for you as i made the parts and put them together . Then i dropped my camera phone when i got home and lost all the pics :evil:

I had a nightmare when i put my Metabo chop saw in for repair . I was without it for around 3 weeks and ended up having to go direct to Metabo in southampton rather than the local dealer i was using . I don't know if the salesman i spoke to everytime is still there but he wouldn't give a...
