The workmanship is just staggering, as someone else said , I'd be scarred to sit on it. Imagine making all those joints !!! Must have been great to study underneath him at Parnham College I've heard it said somewhere he is the only chair maker alive today who can charge 50,000 UKP for a chair...

Hmm OK I have Nero - that should be able to do it I guess I'll have a look Cheers

Can anyone help, I was sent and iso file by a PhD student doing some work for me and he then left for 2 weeks skiing . Now the problem is I believe this is a CD/DVD image , but I've no clue how to convert it back to it's original format so I can get to the data. Anyone recommend any free...

I vote for a WoodRat - not only Dovetailing tbut scores of other joints too

There are many ceramic tiles now that are designed to look like wooden floors, I was looking at them the other day (1.2 m long ones) and they are very impressive _ I saw walnut, oak, zebrano, cherry, pine and probably there are more. They were very very impressive. Might want to consider those

Mines a bit like what you have done, but in a cupboard, you cannot see my chisel (non carving) blades but the holes they sit in are sized in oder so very quickly I learned which was which - very happy with it.

We had bamboo laminated flooring in my old office, it was dammed expensive 600€ per 2.4m x 1.2 m sheet :shock: (but I did work for the second most profitable comany in the world so that was not an issue) So it seems strong ehough, but as for the thickness of the sheets I do not know, and of...

I see that Philly but finishing it to look that square is just :whistle: I guess a spindle moulder with a template and a tilting arbour might help but gee, still seems difficult to me. Oh well, but isn't it just so uplifting to be inspired to have a go at this yourself. (Mind you a few...

Wonderful huh, but I just keep staring at it and thinking how in earth would I make those beveled edges to that depth! I'm really scratching my head at the moment on how to do it for an 15mm plate as the back rest of my version of his love chairs, and it's that that's causing my lack of...

David Charlesworth, Andy King, David Savage and the Lee valley chap (whoops forgotten his name) - gee this is the place to be! I hope David does not mind me copying his chairs http://croeso.typepad.com/photos/furnit ... index.html , as it's only for me and I'm not selling then I suppose he won't

Now that's more like it superb craftsmanship and excellent subtle design. This is way better than Becksfort's shaker stuff, good workmanship but he is not taking furniture design anywhere by slavishly copying the past. the work David Savage and his team put into these pieces are just staggering...

Everyone, As per usual I'm struggling with painting a cupboard I have made, on a fundamental level I don't like painting furniture as I like wood, but it's not that eternal struggle I'm on about I have one of those nice B&Q HVLP sprayers , but the question is what type of paint is best to...

I called in there early December, I had prior booked and Tom suggested a quiet day in the week for me to visit, I was allowed to see everything and wander from section to section pretty much as I wanted, and alone, everyone spoke to me and were very very pleasant. I bought a few goodies from...

Yup been there done that - never mind Roger

I know it's hard to believe but my blue one was worth every Euro cent! I just love it.

These ones from Dick are a real gem http://www.dick.biz/cgi-bin/dick.storefront/459ceb620002ca26274050f3360905f0/Product/View/708021 The little tape at the back makes inside measuements a dream I've got the blue one but a (3m I think, but there is a longer version - red one if memory serves...

I had a similar sander and put a Velcro hook on the sander to convert it (I have a ready supplier locally of high quality 300mm Velcro disks but not self adhesive ones, works a treat. I got the Velcro hook from Axminster I seem to remember

I too have an anti racking device which is simply a wooden screw with a square head, that sits within a square mortice in the vise face when fully retracted. A very useful piece of kit. Mind you Alf's is simpler to make, reminded me a lot of that guy on the BBC Dragons den who built a plastic...

A trad tail vice for me as you can use both the dog and the vise for clamping and holding.
