That looks really nice! Well done! =D> =D> =D>

LOL! Not sure we can play the return leg this summer bob, Sera and Katty are grumbling about going somewhere else. We’ll have to see I suppose.

Yeah the boxes are cool but does he know what to do with a can of beer next to the pool I ask you..... :D

+1. Sanding is the job I hate most in woodworking. Getting lovely thin smoother shavings spilling out of a hand plane is right at the other end of the spectrum!

I don’t have the Kreg jig but on the UJK one that Axminster sell (very good quality bit of kit IMHO) all the screws are torx drive with a pan head. They hold and drive extremely well although as I’ve never used the Robertson ones to compare them to I can’t assess which works best.

Lol! If it’s cock-ups we’re comparing Rob I’m up there with the best of them I assure you! There was one item I made a couple of years ago that was so hideous and out of proportion the only name it went by in my household was unmentionable on here! It took almost a year of persuading before my...

This. All day long this. Waffling on about stuff from behind a keyboard is a doddle. Actually making something takes time, planning, courage and determination not to mention skill. Well done you for doing so and for sharing your outcomes on here.

Looks very much like our Bill Carter’s work to my eye.

Thanks MM. It is the first one I’ve ever made so lots for me to learn while doing it. Being so chunky and predominantly end grain created lots of challenges but I’m glad I made it. Mrs. memzey thought it was too thick at first but she likes it now too. The design was largely informed by the...

Think I’ll stick to my cheapie made of scraps!

I think that’s the point JSW is making.

I think JSW is correct. Those finger joints look like they’re intended to extend boards whereas box joints are normally used in the corners of, err, boxes. New one on me I must say.

I made my table saw finger joint jig in about 30 minutes from scraps I had in my off cuts bin. It gives me joints with a fit to about .005” tolerance which need a mallet tap or two to seat and no clamps to hold. Only issue is it necessitates the use of a dado stack which many saws on this side...

Cheers Andy. There’s no denying that women can be the most peculiar of creatures, although no doubt they could say the same of men as well! Anyway funnily enough the bandsaw was one machine that wasn’t used on that chopping board. Plenty of action for the table saw, planer thicknesser and radial...

An end grain chopping board for Mrs. memzey. 12” x 20” x 2 1/2”. Made of Sapele, beech and Keruing:

Brilliant! I really enjoyed watching that. I wonder if anyone on here as ever made something like that. It would be an excellent thing to try.

Watching with interest. Are you going free standing as opposed to built in?

It’s already sold!

I’ve had the Trend set with the plug cutters for a few years now. Can’t fault it to be honest.

That is awesome stuff Roger - top notch! I’d love to see some wip pics. Really nicely done.
