Thanks all for your inputs/advices. Really appreciated ! A HPLV seems to be the best option as I want to keep focusing on hand tools, and just preparing rough timber with a bandsaw and P/T. However, I am fairly concerned by the noise. We are signing for the house (yeah ! just renting for the...

Thanks guys for inputs and ideas. Im not sure i can put it outside as the house will be rented. So it will stay inside. The issue i have with vacuums is the noise. I'll have a look at Axminster and see their models of HVLP, and see the size and cost with added fine filters. Looks like the best...

+1 for poplar. As other said, it's pretty easy to work with and quite cheap too. Also, I quite like the look of it. I made my tool chest with it (my first real project) and I decided not to paint it as it looks really nice. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

oh, another point i forgot : one thing i like about the HPLV is the possibility to use it a general shop vacuum, to clean after working, just like a standard household vacuum. Can a HVLP be used the same way ?

Thanks all for your inputs. Size will definitely be an issue, as it will be a one car garage. Also, the P/T will be an entry level one (most probably an Axminster AH106 or AT107), so width of cut wont be massive. What concerns me the most with chips collectors is the particle size filtration...

hello, going to move to a house with a garage in the coming weeks, I am planning to get some machines (finally !). I plan to get a bandsaw and a P/T, the idea being to prepare rough timber and do the remaining work with handtools. I have a good idea of the bandsaw and P/T i would like to get...

I will try tonight to post a URL link. Hopefully that will work better for you : ) Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

The videos from Steve Latta on lie Nielsen website are very good. They have been very helpful. I highly recommend them. The corner is just a test, made in poplar (to see which sequence to do the grooves). But I highly recommend you to go with hardwood, as softer woods like poplar tend to crush...

Thanks guys ! Yes, sand shading. Quite fun to do ! (Though not when it's 30 outside !) The pics are displayed correctly, you could maybe try with another web navigator ? Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Hello, I finally decided to sell my LN tenon saw. I've bought it about 2 years ago, and have barely used it since then. Definitely a good saw, but way too big for what i'm doing. The saw is in good shape, just having a mark on one side of the plate (see pic below). Asking 125 £ (Standard PP...

Thanks for the microwave idea. Curved pieces would be fairly short, so they should fit in easily. What do you mean by infra red heater ? The one used to warm terraces ? Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Hmmm, thanks for the info Custard, didn't think of this issue actually.. No way to do cross grain inlay as I don't have a band saw, so I might consider that on the design (stopped inlay ?) Been playing with it tonight a bit, but really struggling with sharp curves. Walnut steings just keep...

Ahah thanks Mark ! Did experiment with a card and double sided tape, but the result wasn't very good. I will get some thick plastic and see if it works better. Hopefully more promising pictures coming soon ! My plan is to do a simple coffee table, and use some inlay (same as Steve Latta spice...
