Lovely piece of work, Adam

Probably a pencil. Whatever I’m doing, I’ll need a pencil.

Colwin Way "works" for Axminster (at least has a business relationship), so I'd be surprised if he promoted anything else. I have tried Charnwood, but the thread was too short for the headstock on my lathe, so it didn't go all the way down to the register. I use an SC4 - I can recommend it, but...

If you use a bearing guided cutter, you won’t need a table, just support for the length of MDF. A T7 will be fine for that.

I’ve not tried Infinity cutters, but I can recommend Wealden cutters. Good price/quality ratio. Great tech support if you need advice. Also fast shipping, so if you find a cutter getting blunt, you can buy another easily (or sharpen the blunt one).

If the eBay one doesn’t work, this one is good. Wealden surfacing

Look to see if SwissStop do brake blocks which fit. They will be an improvement.

So, this is the design I came up with. Using. reclaimed teak for the whole of it and a piece of ready made stuff made to look like a ship's deck for the lid. Made the lid about 3 mm smaller than the top aperture and the rebate depth to allow for movement and filled the gap with Sikaflex to stop...

Found some sapele at S&S Timber in Blackpool. Roughly £1500 / cubic metre.

Do you know the manufacturer of your track pump? They may be able to help?

@hunter27 I tried Berrys (first actually) - no joy. Not tried Savoy. I mourn Page & Taylor's demise. @Illy I emailed JAS Timber. No reply yet. I'll give them a call @Jameshow Tried British Hardwoods (I like that place) but no joy there. I'll Google Selco - never heard of them Thanks for the...

I've been asked to make two hardwood window ledges, roughly 2" x 1" and 7ft long. The customer has asked for hardwood, including sapele or teak. Anyone know of any suppliers in Lancashire (Preston area, but I'll travel). I've tried one or two, but no joy so far. I'm after rough sawn to machine a...

Can you not try with a piece of ply rather than a specific biscuit? I jointed an olive wood worktop with 6mm ply loose tenons rather than biscuits. I needed to get marine ply to make sure that 6mm ply was 6mm and not 5.2mm and then a 6mm groover in the router. You could try with a few ply...

I have 8 lathes for students all with the same tool board and another for the instructors’ lathe. That’s besides my lathe and tools. I use a Sorby and can guarantee that all the tools are sharpened exactly the same. It works fantastically. I’ve also used it with the square attachment which has...

I’m not sure exactly what, but I think it’s so the customer can sit on his yacht in Barcelona and annoy has neighbours with his music

@sploo, @AFFF, @Dlyxover Thanks for your replies. The customer in the case definitely knows best. He wants this speaker mounted in a teak box, initially this was to be partly made from an old teak tea tray, but that part I managed to dissuade him from. He want to pull it out from the hold and...

@Spectric You're right. But this is for a customer who knows better!

Chestnut products make some end seal which is good. Dries to a waxy film.
