Did you create an additional object oriented at 45 degrees to the sides of your stock, with the curved detail created using the bezier plug-in, then an 'intersect with model', then erase the cutting object? Cheers Neil

And thanks to Nick from me too - I now have a nice set of Woodrat plungebars fixed to my table router :D Cheers, Neil

Hi Sean, If I remember correctly, John Elliot (who makes kitchens for a living) uses pocket screws for his cabinets, although I think he uses good quality ply rather than MFC. If you go down this route and find a local supplier of birch ply, please let me know! You are welcome to try mine if...

Thats great news, Tim :D I can hardly imagine going through with my Lab what you have with Monty, and its fantastic that you have had some good news at last. Cheers, Neil

Looks fantastic, Dave - do you have any more details on the build? They are just go faster stripes, aren't they? :wink: Cheers, Neil

Thanks, Nick :) I'll be using round dog holes as well, so I can incorporate a few of Mr. Lee's goodies :wink: <edit> Thats a nice model of the Nelson vice, Steve =D> Cheers, Neil

Cor, I'm impressed, Nick! I was thinking as I was modelling it that there would be a LOT of work involved in making one. How long did it take you? Good idea to make the tray removable. My plan with it is to finish the Sketchup model keeping strictly to the plans, then use the model to decide...

Late to the party as usual... :roll: For some reason I decided to model the Frank Klausz bench from FWW/The Workbench book - I guess I have aspirations to make something very like it one day. Anyway, it hasn't turned out to be a very suitable choice for Dave's challenge because virtually every...

Same here, Andy - but you can get quite fast at lining up with a straight edge (I use a 4' guide clamp). Cheers, Neil

Hi PK, It might be worth joining the Menieres society - at least for the minimum subscription period as you can order lots of leaflets with more info about the condition. I don't know how much you know about it at this stage, but bear in mind that it is a bit of a generic term which the...

List has been updated with all entries up to David. Cheers, Neil

Hi Steve, I've got it to work (sort of) First thing I did was to re-format my hard drive... Sorry, only joking (this one could run and run, couldn't it :roll:) Try using it in a new drawing without drawing anything else first - just draw a rectangle according to the prompts. You should get...

Thanks, everyone :D Didn't have time to do these earlier - here are the exploded & transparent views: Cheers, Neil

Well I give up... ](*,) Whoever thought up this challenge? :evil: Oh yes, Mr. Maskery, wasn't it? (hammer) Here is my attempt - incomplete but I've spent long enough on this already! The Record #077A which I decided to model: and the Sketchup version: I must admit that I've learnt a...

Yep, even as a Festool fan IMO that is way too much :shock: How about this package deal as an alternative? You'll have to copy & paste as this won't work with the url tag. http://www.axminster.co.uk/name/202131/ ... (Body-Only)-459510.htm I have the 14.4v version of the drill/driver and it...

Thanks for the mini-review, Ivan - I think I might try one of these myself... Cheers, Neil

Wow - thats fantastic, Steve! \:D/ I'm attempting to model my Record #077A but with my current rate of progress I'm sure this thread will be ong forgotten before it is done :oops: Cheers, Neil

Dave, its a Dart 15 - a 15' single-handed catamaran. Or at least it was, they have renamed it as a Sprint 15 now. Its good fun, especially when you sail it in its Turbo version with the jib & trapeze - it will do around 16 knots or so in that configuration. I prefer to sail it on the sea...

So you're still getting 13 issues a year then, Tony? :lol: Cheers, Neil

Great tips, Dave - thanks! I'm particularly pleased to hear about Weld - its exactly what I need 8) Cheers, Neil
