If that is all the space you have, then carbon fibre laminate is your best bet.

yes there is with carbon fibre, not much with fibreglass as the stiffness is not very different from wood for the same volume. But you will get more stiffness still if you make it as a closed box shape, like box section tubing (even rectangular).

yes there are quite a few around, some cheap, some very expensive (eg the Shark looks good but costly). Also plans to make your own. good luck Keith

From the advert on this page https://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Cecil_W._Tyzack and on this one https://www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/auct ... 0700c205af it seems that it originally had a riving knife and a crown guard either fitted to the riving knife, or held on an arm. You probably don't have a...

Very impressive, enjoyable and educational, thanks, Derek.

I accuse Pete of irony, not naivety :)

When I was a research student, a group of us were chatting over tea and asked a fellow student, who was from India, studying electron microscopy, working in Angstroms (there's another one) every day: "How deep is the Ganges at your city?". Without a microsecond pause he said "Not so deep, about...

Get a calibrated set of slip gauges. Doesn't cost the earth and saves the hassle. Keith

Fine, I'm just before the Woodloes coming from your side. Look forward to seeing you! Yes, PM me. Keith

I could manage that. I'm in Warwick so you could come round one morning or afternoon with the old one and the wood and we could get it done and have a natter :). It's time the lathe did some work anyway! Keith

Ten metres would be decametre not decimetre. An example of why it is best to stick to SI units, m^2 in this case!

Yes they are ripening nicely. The growing tips you should pinch out are the ones growing in an angle between the main stem and a leaf. Nabs' picture above shows it perfectly. You do not ever pinch off the one at the top, and the tips of every branch carrying a truss are not growing points (ie...

Not yet, though they took the money a while ago! Can't wait! Will post when it arrives. best, Keith

The wonder is that enough of them survived to vote for Trump.

Nice. But how did you make the rebate on the rebate plane??

Right ... I did my AGS move with just the top off. Not sure my cabinet would come apart either! Let us know about your dust removal idea when it is ready! Keith

Ooooh I am jealous, mine hasn't arrived yet!

Hope you can figure out the command for a 10 s stop. That was set by H&S as they found that most saw accidents happened after the machine has been switched off. A Wadkin will coast for a long time before it stops being dangerous!

Sammy, you have to be able to get the top off - or else you have no means of realigning it with the blade if you need to? Anyway, two hefty removal guys could lift it!
