Steve Maskery from www.workshopessentials.com shows two ideas for improving dust control in the home workshop, one on the router table and one on the SCMS.

Sharpening a chisel using a Veritas Mk II honing jig, diamond stones and very fine (0.5 micron)microfinishing film.

Using a high speed bench grinder with a Norton 3x 46 grit stone, to grind a chisel freehand. Then proceed to demonstrate how to hone the hollow ground blade freehand on a diamond (DMT) fine grit bench stone. Any minute burr left from the process is removed (stropped) on a piece of 3/4″ MDF with...

New from Workshop Essentials is The Ultimate Bandsaw Tenon Jig. It references of just one face, as in traditional joinery, making it intrinsically more accurate then flipping the workpiece. It makes tenons, offset tenons, twin and angled tenons as well as lap and bridle joints. They are flush...

The main purpose for the sidebar will hopefully become clear over the next couple of weeks, when the rest of the updates become live. Obviously there will be space for adverts on it as well as after-all they are what keep the site running. However, I'll be happy to put up a poll as to whether...

Unfortunately not at the moment but will look into it. Out of curiosity, what's your screen resolution?

Hi, Just a quick note to let you know what's going on before the rumour starts that I've sold up and retired to the Bahamas :) The new forum design is the first stage in work I'm hoping to get done over the next few weeks. Not for potential buyers but to give UKW a fresh look and hopefully add...

Another new section, already? :shock: :P The reviews and buying advice used to be separate sections but we combined them to make room for the design section (IIRC). I'll look into changing the default search options. It should be quite easy to do...

The Jigs section is now online. I'll start moving some previously posted jig threads but we won't be doing them all. If you spot a thread which you would like moved over to the new section, please PM the link(s) to me.

Hi all, I wasn't being reticent at all. In-fact I've been away all week on my UKW funded yacht in the south of France :wink: :lol: Seriously though, I've been out climbing for most of this week which is why I haven't spotted this thread until I received an email about it today. UKW isn't a...

Here's the photo;

Sorry about that. I upgraded PHP and added a bit more security on the server tonight but UKW didn't like it very much. I had to give it a kick, everything *should* be working now.

Hi Lee, I do like the idea but I don't think we need a new forum section for it. I've already created a section and layout for it on the main site.

The section I've created is accessed via the main site (although isn't showing yet as it has no entries). I believe it will be a better solution then if we have another section on the forum. It'll be easier to navigate and search to find the jig you're looking for. I'll try and make some...

As Roger says, I doubt we'll get very far trying to contact the spammers directly :( We've actually installed a custom add-on which has stopped the spambots from signing up (touch wood). The latest spammer we had was a real person and unfortunately there's not much we can do about them...

I've got the basic layout/indexing sorted but haven't had chance to start linking the content. It would be a big help if people can send me links to jigs you think should be added :)

Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... T&ih=013it looks useful and just what you wanted :) I just cut the plug off my 690 and replaced it with a UK 110v plug - There's more info with a picture of the wiring here https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/importing_p ... e_usa.html

Yes it's a good idea, I like it :) If people can help by sending me the URL's to the jig's thread I'll can add them to the main page here I'll get the layout and categories sorted tomorrow and then start adding links.. It'll take a week just to go through Niki's jig threads :lol: :P

First I would like to publicly apologise to the moderators and the members for not replying to this thread sooner, it seems to have kicked off without anyone knowing the facts. It was my decision to ban Jacob and I'll explain why in a second. As the moderators are more active on the forums then...
