I have both as stand alone machines, I much prefer the slot mortiser, you can quickly and accurately move it back and forth and left to right, and just as easily set the depth. It produces mortises much faster than my bench mortiser which now stands idle collecting dust. The ones that add onto...

So my English was bad there, yes I did it with a simple blow torch - even cheaper than the taymar (9€ I seem to remember with an extra € for a canister of gas)

With John's recommendation on the board I bought one to help rout in butt hinges. I'm delighted with it. Albeit I have the 3708F (With lights which are super)

I bought a cheapo 90 degree clamp for 1.5€ and some 10mm square brass, a cheap gas gun, solder, heat pad and flux. I then used my Ulmia Hand Mitre saw with a metal blade to cut the brass at 90 deg, then tinned the end and the side of the areas to be jointed, clamped them in the cheap clamp and...

Ebay with a high reserve will ensure you get a market value price.

Karl I'll do that

Hmm Good thinking Chris, I even have some pear file handles extra

I do like the LN but it's 45$ so a bit pricey and even so I'd like one with a longer shaft as well as one with a shorter one like the LN. I do not want to have to add shaft extenders. I can get cheap ones but they all seem to fail to bits pretty quick, especially if you drop them as i have...

I'm in the process of designing a new workbench and a second tool cabinet. The cabinet will be for general tools (spanners, screwdrivers, allen keys etc etc) Upon noticing the Lie Nielsen screwdriver I was wondering does anyone know a retailer of high quality screw driver handles that can...

Jason : If you could scan it that would be super Thanks a million. Philly, never thought about his books (oh no more for the collection) I did see his lift out tool tray base on DVD 3 though, it was that that got me thinking

Having just finished it, this competition came up just at the right time, I've never entered one before so here goes. The vertical and horizontal panels are 12mm multiplex which is lipped with pear and veneered on both sides. The doors are 15mm multiplex veneered with hand cut pear veneer...

Just seen that - can't wait Cheers

I just posted about this, wouldn't you know! Can't wait for the photos Andy

I am about to built a new workbench and I'm mulling over the design. I have the Workbench Book by Landis and a collection of other ideas, and 5 year of experience of my temporary one. Now I'm intrigued by Davids Charlesworth's design, there are a few photos on his site, but was wondering if...

The joints on this project are already making me sleep less at night. Mind you Alf it all started with what can I do with my new spokeshave? So watch out! I have a copy though of the 4/5 write ups David did in GoodWoodworking on these chairs, with loads of project in progress photos - so we...

Clamping up this laminated chair leg really made me smile, 30 clamps just for one leg, it's a good job I have access to many at the course workshop! This is the start of my latest, post TV cabinet, project: David Savage's Love Chair 4...

Duiker I buy Birch Triplex (multiplex for you UKers from my local Karwei, and have it cut to size on their panel saw for free. I always produces very good results, (meranti triplex gives some tear out I've noticed) I could cut these myself on my table saw but as I buy my triplex there...

The good thing about the test stick method, is that once you achieve the settings for a good fit, these settings remain the same for the same combination of straight bit and dovetail bit. So I always work with the same bits and I always use the same settings, works a treat. I learned this on my...

You can ask LN to deliver the goods to your hotel - OK this with your hotel first, saves finding what you want at the local supplier. As stated previously you will have no problems with the customs Andy
