    Bench position

    So I guess the question is, any recommendations from those who've tried both positions? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Some semblance of order now. So nice to have vertical walls finally! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Bench position

    My new roubo bench will replace this one. I have all my tools on French cleats on the wall. However I always envisaged the vises being near side. That means I have to walk round to get tools. But if I put vice the other side I will have my back to natural light. Maybe better to have a...

    Raised panels

    I make most of my frame and panel constructions from 3/4" (final thickness) The corner support for a box I would make more, the same as you have suggested - depending on construction

    Yer sort of. It has one hell of a roll on it but I think it's actually quite stable. Not something I've ever seen in the uk I . Must admit. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Steve's workshop - Painting the outside walls

    I see adverts for stoves for burning everything from shavings to table saw dust safely and efficiently in BW all the time. I would have got one if I could have put a chimney in. I am sure they are going to be safe.

    The bench build WIP. First plane! Pg4.

    I think that you may find boring it and then truing up edges far easier than chiseling the whole think out. That's all. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    My adapter from commando to euro plug arrived today, so first time switched on. Did not like using 4 chained 16A extension leads, so had to get out a site one. Pretty quiet, very smooth. I cut my first piece and thought perhaps I'd left the blade lowered all the way, as there was no resistance!

    The big day - workshop move.

    Here we are moving a few things in a friends tractor. There's only room for one in the cab, so going down those steep mountain bendy roads was like a free roller coaster. Scream if you wanna go faster!

    Not quite sure about the rent - but the mortgage gets scarier as we continue building! My Euro camper commando adapter arrived now, so I can go get the table saw sorted to build some shelves, and then back to organising...

    The big day - workshop move.

    All equipment moved, now to sort it all out! I didn't have space at the end to move my benches in, so a few late nights organising are in store. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    I got confirmation from Roy that you have to cut off the end of the rail. Angle grinder made quick work of that. Then found I need new reliefs cut in the rail for the mitre slots. Definitely could be a challenge without angle grinder. Of course now the bar Is shifted to the right so I cut off...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Yes that's the one. A couple of differences however in this version. The fence is aluminium and can only be used on right side (without taking the face off and moving to other side). Doesn't bother me about the side, and I don't really know that the aluminium makes a difference. Guard is not...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    It may be 14mm, however the point is that a couple radomly seem to be a different size. The reason the same setup issue may not have been encountered is that Steve and many others do not have the sliding table.

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    From here there are two links http://www.woodfordtooling.com/accessories.html The links are not obvious, click on saw name. One is basic and one had sliding plus router table. I got basic plus sliding without router. Prices are exclusive of vat Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Oh and as I've had to move the rail the tape will no longer be right. The adhesive had taken hold so I'll need to get a new sticky tape strip :-( Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

    The big day - workshop move.

    Yes the floor is great, some kind of ultra smooth industrial concrete. The light is ok, however not that much but I have five 1.2m double fluorescents to help ;-) However now the architect says that as the concrete walls go up into house and the space is unheated I may have to insulate inside...

    Xcalibur/Harvey set up

    Having spent a day setting up, worth a few thoughts, and perhaps even a question. Still very excited, and impressed, really solid kit. The sliding table is massive, true and very smooth, so there are many good things. However as always there are some bad as well. I would rate the saw 4.5...

    The big day - workshop move.

    I don't have power yet, but with building site power and my door built I can move. Quite a job, the pile of tools is going to take some sorting! A friend is bringing a tractor to move the heavy stuff. I am about a quarter of the way and temperature approaching 34. Sent from my...
