    Problems with current shop

    Thanks guys, i've looked into spraying it is very expensive! I found kits that i can do it for under a £1000 and it is my hope to have that done by winter. I am also planning on building a stud wall inside. Although i will loose a bit of space it won't be that much considering the benefits of...

    Workbench height..... help please.

    your going to get all sorts of answers to this one. Everyone is a different height and do different kind of work. Think of it this way if you put something on the workbench how high is it now? 36 inches becomes 40 inches high with just four inches of work thickness. If your routing something...

    Fine Woodworking magazine

    I thought of subscribing as it is hard to find on the shelf. I do have the 1775-2008 collection on disk, which gives me a lot of resources at my finger tips but it doesn't work on mac so i don't read it as much as i would like to. I found it on e-bay for £15. I just don't see the value in...

    Help with Sash windows

    Thanks for the replies thus far. I did use a gasket parting bead. But the frames are already glued together so mortising for the groove isn't an option at this point. If i did it again i would do it in the frame. It is the first set of sash windows i've done so it is what it is. I was going...

    Help with Sash windows

    I"m building some sash windows for a friend and want to use spring balances. I didn't groove the window frame though! As i heard that you could grove the openers. I'm having difficulty finding any information on it though. The other thing is the top opener has heels on them. So can i...

    Have we lost the plot as far as tollerances are concerned?

    If the eye can spot it it is an issue so it is important to at least attain a high level of precision in the machining process so that the fit and finish is as spot on as it can be. Wood moves, so i doubt we need to be as critical as machinists and i don't rely on much digital goodies to...

    Phase converter?

    I run a three phase converter. You can run more then one item on the digital ones, or at least the digital one i have. I can run my table saw which is 3 horse power along side with my dust extractor which is 1.5 horse power with no problem at all. It did however cost me £800 for the converter...

    disc sander

    There was a thread recently on this subject and i think it was said that unless your going to get a floor model they aren't worth it. What are you going to be using it for?

    my workshop new security (stage 1)

    That's some good info Lons. I picked up the glass and realized that i didn't want to try it on the pieces i wanted to make frames from so i asked if they had some i could bash with a hammer. So they let me have a go at it. Like Lone says the glass does break but the center is a soft flexible...

    my workshop new security (stage 1)

    Yeah that's how i feel to in my own shop on my own property!!! Unbelievable! I just bought some laminated glass to make some windows with for the shop. Apparently you can throw bricks and stuff at this glass without it breaking. Going to make a frame for it and take a hammer to it and see for...

    my workshop new security (stage 1)

    I put in a yale. It is a wireless system and the box is on the house. Far enough up that it would take some serious thieves to bypass the alarm. I did this after two break ins, thought the first was a random event, turns out they came back for what they couldn't get the first trip. When...
