Hi Keystone nice to speak to you again :D Thanks, I'm glad you like the new site.

You have to remember the common table saw’s available to Norm and our friends across the pond of far superior to the ones we can get here. :( Their table saws are cast-iron and powerful which can handle a dado head safely but our saws are lightweight (which weren’t designed for a dado head...

Now that I am collecting new router bits, the drawer which I used to keep them in ran out of room, so I thought I’d build one. Remember that your router bits need to be stored safely as they cost a lot of money and you don’t want to damage them. If you haven’t got any storage for them then this...

In this guide, I will be using the T20 biscuit jointer. The review for the T20 biscuit jointer can be found here. First you have to decide which biscuit size to use (0,10 or 20). I’m going to use no. 20 biscuits. You now need to draw witness lines across both of the boards to be joined...

In this guide I am using beadLOCK with the 3/8" guide bar. First dry-fit your mating pieces together, as you have to draw a witness mark across both pieces. It helps later on if you draw the line as finely as possible. The photo on your right shows me holding the tenon stock in the center of...

I’m using the CMT baby lock mitre router bit, which can handle a maximum 19mm and minimum 9.5mm thickness timber. It’s for use in a router table and it produces strong mitre joints. It can be a pain to set up so I’ve made a step-by-step guide. As one of the pieces to be joined has to be run...

In this guide I’m using the CMT Raised Panel Set! I’m making a single panel door 635mm x 485mm using 45mm x 20mm pine. I want to cut the cope cuts on both ends of the rails first, so I installed the cope cutter (the one with the bearing in the middle). You want to set the height of the bit...

The mortise and tenon is a very traditional joint and is popular due to its strength. A mortise is simply a hole in the piece wood and the tenon piece slots inside. There are many different forms of mortice and tenons and also uses – but they are mostly used in tables and doors. The key to a...

To set this bit up I’ve taken two pieces of 20mm Pine and marked one ‘A’ and the other ‘B’ Next, on one of the pieces, I marked a centre line (right->). You are trying to set the centre of the bit with the centre line on your board. This is hard to do, so just get as close as you can. I’m...
