Are you wanting a pattern to cut into something or for a bear to stick onto something? if that makes sense?

One door each side, meeting in the middle when closed.

Hi All Existing: Single 800mm (Ish) sliding door (homemade) on stud wall. Desired: replace above with 2 off 1981x762mm bifold doors (Jeld-wen 60quid) in new frame in existing stud wall. Question 1: can anyone recommend a good magnetic latch that will 'hold' the two doors together when closed...

thank you.

Sorry to be blunt, but enough is enough. Please stop trolling. The majority of your posts are either telling people not to spend money because a pound shop tool and a bit of gaffer tape will do the job just as well if not better, down to your years of experience, or asking questions like this...

I think you're going to need a bigger woodshed!

Thanks for all the advice gents. I had a quick experiment yesterday with what I have to hand, cut a few slices off a block of oak and clamped them between two thin formers with a film of titebond original between each leaf. It worked! to a degree anyway. Spot on where the clamps were, a little...

Further to my previous post, it was just the photo angle, profile is fine and should be ok.

I'd agree with Phil and say tool no3 is a bowl gouge, but from this angle the grind profile is wrong and you should probably avoid using it. Give us a pic or two of the profile and we can take it from there.

Ta. The diagram above is approx to scale.

so... If I smooth the curves a little similar to the below diagram, and use Cascamite or similar, clamp in a block? as per diagram? Had a quick gander for veneers and they seem to be approx 0.6mm or construction veneer at 1mm. Will a 1mm veneer in something plain like oak, ash, walnut, cherry...

Evening gents Is it feasible to use a few sheets of wood veneer to create a small rigid (ish) shape? Making another scooter but slightly larger this time and wondering if I can create the leg shields by laminating? The bends are only in one plane and size is approx 50mm X 360mm (2off) and...

Cheers folks. It was a bit of a nostalgia trip for me (though possibly not as far back as you gents :-" , the early 80's for me), and wood choice was down to what was in the drawer. I was almost tempted to go for dyed tyres but decided all wood would be a tad posher. Chalk and cheese :) but...

Cheers. Its about 175mm end to end, 100mm tall, 42mm dia. wheels.

To go with the Vespa, a Lambretta. Had to draw my own plans for this one which took a while but I'm chuffed with the result. One for the shelf this one. Cheated for the wheels and used the lathe but the rest is all scrollsaw. Oak, walnut and an unknown for the panels and mudguard, possibly...

Well I bit the bullet, had a sort out and unboxed the lathe. Completely forgotten how to use any of the tools :shock: but I'm sure it'll come back to me eventually.

Worst theme park ever!

My apologies to Mr. Charlesworth, it is now obvious that you and Mr. Cohen are familiar with each other and your comment was not a snipe as it appeared to me, but friendly banter. Thanks too to lurker for pointing it out to me.
