I have one of these and with practice it turned out to be a very useful device. You need to always work in the same direction ( always cut away from the ratchet system) and check before running a cut for the second time (deepening it) that you have good alignment. I find that my T9 works...

From memory there will be 8 in this, I have a pillar drill with a large table so drilling at 90 won't be the issue for me, but just drilling in the right place! Ah for a CNC miling machine :roll:

Ive got dowel points but when transferring many holes I find them difficult, is there a trick to this? That I'm missing. :?:

Well I rebuilt the bed with larger central rails - Much better - thanks everyone for guidance etc. :) (What is interesting in this photo is all the pieces look different colours, I spent a little time using different strengths of button shellac to even that out. It must be a camera effect as...

Plan ahead is the way forward I made all my work tops and top of all (well not all but most) machines and the top of the table saw the same height as my workbench, then you can run wood across the workbench, for example, to feed it into the table saw, and the wood rests on the table for the...

Mooi! (Nice) =D> Is the exhibit still on I may drop in?

yup, good call devonwoody

Another tip from Mike Humphrey I've just remebered is to hop the router over the wood, so only cut half way from both sides, it will be easier on the bit if you do this, and also avoids any breakout at the bit never exits the wood. this may help Philly :?:

I use mine on maple, except the smallest ones (which are sold in pairs as they break) and all seems fine. Henry recommends only using the smallest on the softest of hardwoods. Mike Humphrey recommended me not to buy the small bits from Henry as even in softwood they break. Philly which bits...

Yes Italy but not till the end of the summer.

Duiker My local art supply shop in Alkmaar has Brass powder (and gold and silver) I just mixed this with normal epoxy resin (2 component glue). It was a bit expensive though 20 € a small bottle I seem to remember. Why not try an Art shop near you? Or let me know if you want the address etc in...

Since you asked for some +ve feedback, I would have made the drawers shorter and the cupboards higher (proportions are very hard to get right - see my latest projects where I'm running into proportion problems - solved now I think photos on the way)...

Ah just read the link from Alf - hmm storage huh - right up my street, now how can I convice Anke that the Love Chairs and the bed for Owain must wait as another tool cabinet comes to life :oops: :roll: :wink:

We're all waiting with baited breath!!! :wink:

Gee and that's your first project - well done What's next, a copy of John Makepiece's Holly Chair? :wink: Welcome to this very friendly and super useful community.

I have a dust port below the blade and one at the lower part of the bottom wheel cabinet. Both are connected to the same vac via a Y piece. Also I have a piece of stiff but flexible plastic with a slot cut in it, through which the blade runs (below the table) this deflects most of the dust that...

Well done, I have the cabinet makers scraper plane from LN and I must admit I use it more and more. You need to hone your burr making skills (if you excuse the pun) For my scaper cards I use the super vertias device but the scraper blade it too thick for that. So I do it by hand with a clifton...

What a nice mandolin, stunning work. many congratulations. Can you play? - my favourite mandolin piece is That's the Way by Led Zeppelin, simple to play and a beautiful melody.

Just remove the saw guard but leave the splitter in place, but be careful!

If you look carefully you can see my fence: I made a 3 sided cover in chip board to go fully over the fence, it can be pulled back and locked with butterfly nuts (bolts in the top slot of the fence), so to create clearance after the blade when ripping (very useful saves me changing to the...
