Remember that white glue is water based and will make the wood swell slightly, so better a tiny bit loose than hammering it in. Otherwise by the time you've spread the glue on all pieces and ready to go you might need severe force.

I think Karl now has enough space to set up a launderette without noticing... I was just pointing out that he was given permission years ago, and may not have noticed!

1. The idea would be to catch particles in the bag I would think. If you have a place to vent outside, that is safe and proper to do so, and don't care about losing the warm air, then do it, however i doubt it will make much difference to the suction power. 2. why not put the bags in the...

Karl, I see from other posts you have just rented a nice new space quite recently. However looking at this post, it seems you were given permission ages ago and missed it ;-)

So its gonna be "individually hand crafted classic timepieces only £20"

I made a toy monster truck, and someone said they wanted to buy one. I worked out that with materials, overheads, labour etc, was going to cost about £700. Even if i batched them, still about £400. They said no way, what are you doing? I replied, having fun, creating unique and high quality...

Wanted to compare my prices here to uk prices. I've adjusted for euro rate plus to an 8' by 4' board. Which is about 3sq m so divide by 3 for sqm prices. Spruce plywood 18mm £45 Spruce plywood 12mm £32 Birch plywood 18mm £77 I also got a board of birch. 3m lomg by 6cm thick by 25cm wide...

Thanks guys, frameco looks good. I did do a good google before posting, and found a few, however none had this. Cheers

I have a rebated frame, and will put in there plexi, mounting card, picture and backing board, and then need something to hold it in. I have seen little black clips that you push in to the wood, however can't see where to find them online. I found these which may work better if there is not...

Do it! :twisted:

All weather operations?

I had to restore a piece recently, that had been out for 8 years with no treatmet and was just grey and horrible. Did the full works and looks great now. My preferred routine is a bit of all the above. Light sand every 4 years, 2 quick coats of oil with a cloth every 2 years. Certainly could...

May be a stupid question but where does one actually go to see the entries? Thanks Dave

Just wanted to update that Peter from toolpost has been working with me on this every day, and been extremely helpful in every way. We think that possibly the lathe register is just slightly too long, < 1mm perhaps, so the chuck does not go all the way on. Getting a replacement body. If that...

yer, but it's the way you make it ;-)

Loads of examples on the web, but basically you make your sled, then take say a 24" square board and cut all 4 edges, and then if you are steve you can cut an extra one for good measure :P Each time you place the just cut edge against the fence. The end result is that your error is magnified...

What Hudson has not yet revealed is whether it worked. Did the bullet kill the tree, or did you have to hang, dry, and quartersaw it to finally finish it off?

ah.... that explains it, i had 12", 14", 16" and 18" pieces, and those pesky 45 deg angles just weren't working out for me..... biggest problems I had were: - cutting and fitting accurate runners when they are 8mm x 13mm - the fact that the fence rails on back and front were higher than the...

Final joint is "good enough", however not perfect. I might take a few pictures of the whole process.
