Do you just want the one 'cause I normally knock these out in batches? :D

Thanks Phil and Pete. Dave I'm not sure I know what you mean, sorry! But I do have some Ash and it doesn't look anything like that. Having said that I have two different types of Cherry in stock that look completely different from each other.

Just to add to the confusion I have found another unknown (to me) wood type in this pile I had given! I have taken another pic in better light: The wood on the left is oak, for comparison. The wood on the right is the piece that most people say is Elm and the one in the centre is something...

Alright Mark, I'll bob all 5 planks in the post :D Carol you're right about the colour in the picture. I'll take another pic today in a better light and if it comes out alright I'll post it. By the way that's a great super power for a woodworker :)

Thanks for your replies guys. The consensus seems to be Elm but the red oak would make more sense in one respect as I know it is grown locally, but I believe it is only used for coffins and I can't see a wheelwright using it. Elm is a suprise as I thought it was a lighter colour and I didn't...

Hi Everyone, I was recently given some wood from an old barn. I think it was originally the stock of an old wheelwright. I have planed it yesterday and was surprised to find that it wasn't oak, but I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas:? Cheers Frggy.

Hi everyone, As promised pics of the finished tray with the worst and best joint shown. It wasn't easy and I wasn't happy with the outcome, but my neighbour seemed happy and it was a freeby. I will revisit it and try to master the job but not for a while!! Cheers Froggy

It's the least I can do. When it's finished I'll post some pics.

I used tape on the trial run and I had already considered a spline to strengthen the joint. I think I shall have to do that for peace of mind. Thanks again guys.

Hi SRP the angle wasn't 45 degrees. I forget now what they were, but I used the calculator that Marcros sent me and have successfully completed a trial run with MDF. Thank you all for your help. The trick is gluing the sides!!

Thanks Macros, that's brilliant - exactly what I was looking for. And yes I have both a compound mitre saw and a digital angle finder. Cheers Froggy.

Hi Everyone, My French neighbour has asked me to make a copy of this tray Confidently I said 'yes no problem'! Then afterwards I started to think about the angles of the compound mitre where the sides meet. The sides are not at 90 degrees to the base therefore it's not a straight forward 45...

Good luck Kev I'm sure you'll have fun and you've picked a good forum as I'm sure you know from you 'lurking'.

Actually MM that did cross my mind and for some unknown reason I dismissed it. I'm going to test that before I do anything else. Thank you.

Thanks Alex I'll look into that. Simon the roller is getting clogged up with chippings/dust in about 10 passes and then won't move the wood at all. After I clean the roller the wood passes through fine for another 10 passes (gradually getting worse with each pass). So it must be this roller...

Yep you're right Al - I'll try them again tomorrow when I have the part number.

Thanks for that Davin. I have already been on the powertoolspares site and they don't do them. I can't find any on the NMA site either but I'll try and find the part number in my manual tomorrow and do another search.

Hi Doug, I've only just collected the guards from my friend in Sheffield. They are great. They don't fit my SM but a couple of drilled and threaded holes and they will!! Much appreciated Doug - I owe you one! All the best Tim.

Hi all, does anyone know where I can get a serated infeed roller for a Kity 1637 p/t please? I've Googled it but found nothing. T.I.A. Froggy.

I suppose one of the questions I have to ask is how many they want. If it's just one or two I could consider 3D life like cows but any more than that will probably have to be 2D from a template.
