Can't help much with sources for old tools but you might want to add a .html extension to that file so that mere mortals can read it. :wink: Andrew (who has hand-crafted HTML before so can at least get the gist of it) Mod note: - Fixed

Slow from here as well but it did finish downloading eventually. PM me if you want me to send it to you as an email attachment. Andrew

... and for anyone still wondering where Boscastle is this map from the BBC shows that it is in Cornwall and that the Independent State of Cornwall is somewhere west of England. Passports please. Of course, I'm sure that Alf knows that already. :D

Course it does. Everybody else who has made more than a thousand posts is now a moderator. :lol:

oops - editing didn't quite work.

Tony, I went on Mike Humpries' Woodrat course at the end of last year and it was well worth it. He is none to complimentary about the scrubbing brush either and has a table that clamps onto the woodrat and is a much better proposition. If you are thinking of getting a 'rat it might be worth...

Can't help you with anywhere local I'm afraid. The stuff I have used came from a local builders merchant who seem to have a good range. I did get a quote from Travis Perkins and they might be local to you. Local branch would have had to have ordered it though, yours may be big enough to keep it...

For anyone who uses a LOT of timber there was a good ad in the FT this weekend. Sugar maple at $140,000 for 396 acres or Black Cherry at $658,000 for 2956 acres. Beats a trip to the timber merchant. Anyone for forming a consortium. :) Oh, and maple is in Vermont and Cherry is in New York...

Roy mentioned vacuum presses but what about laminating? That wasn't around 100 years ago. A totally new technique allowing the forming of shapes previously impossible to obtain. Don't know when it was first used but Alvar Alto used it a lot and that must have been 1950sa. Although possibly...

Martyn, I am surprised that this question has not prompted more response. It is something that comes up regularly (combination machines in general not Cema in particular) and provokes a good deal of debate. You might find something in the archives by doing a search on combination machines and...

I may be wrong here and I await to stand corrected but I was under the impression that the PHP scripting language is run on the server only and that it dynamically generates normal HTML pages that are downloaded to the client. From the point of view of the client machine there is no difference...

You don't need the Pro version for this. The basic version will do it. However the pro version will allow you to manage more than one account. Andrew (another satisfied user)

Terry wrote: I fear it is rather more of a case of how long it has taken me to get this far and not any degree of advanced planning on my part :lol: Looks like I'll probably go for one coat of wax on the interiors and two on the drawer fronts on the exterior. Many Thanks, Andrew

Okay, more information. Perhaps I wasn't terribly clear when I said that I have tried one and two coats of both sealer and wax. What I have is a sample board with four areas, 1 coat of sealer with one coat of wax on top, one coat of sealer with two coats of wax, two coats of sealer and one of...

I am using acrylic sanding sealer as a base for wax. I have created a test strip to check that it looks OK and have tried one and two coats of both sealer and wax. My preference is for one coat of sealer and one, or maybe two, of wax because it gives a flatter and more matt finish. My question...

ALF wrote: Chris replied: Strewth Alf, if there was ever a request guaranteed to result in a drive-by fest this is it. I could measure my Stanley handyman when I get home of that would help? :lol:

1) It's probably a matter of personal choice. If it were me I'd remove the skirting board, but then I just seem to do everything the hard way. What would concern me about just cutting off the bottom is how difficult it would be to get the last tile in and then to make the necessary adjustments...

I asked the same question here. Was recommended Freud or Trend. Ended up buying a Trend finetooth and a combination blade. Finetooth is great for plywood and veneered boards. Haven't used the combination yet though. Andrew

I can't see the pic either but a CRM style Hill House chair is on my list of projects at some point. Keith, are the plans for this available somewhere or did you make it from pictures. Andrew

Chiba, Thank you for that explanation. Very enlightening. It makes me think though, am I being unnecessarily picky? I have no problem with tapping it to get it square if that will get me a square that can be as square as I want it. It was the inaccuracy coupled with the bendyness that was...
