Many thanks for all the comments. John. The ones I make do not tip if you remove either of the glasses, it's all down to the hole size for the bottle, in this case it's a nice snug fit so the platform stays stable but easily removed from the bottle. Today I am makinhg some that will hold four...

Hi Brian. If I still had the lathe set up I would make a corkscrew from the same wood as the wine thingy but when I moved home I did not have the room for the lathe and the scroll saw side of things. Even with the scroll saw I have 14 machines and power tools. Stooby. These kind of drills are...

Christmas is not to far away and in recent weeks I have been thinking of new items I could make for the festive period, then Chatting with Gill she gave me the perfect answer, wine bottle and glass holders. I got some finished today. I had ordered a 35mm forstner bit from Axy but not just any...

I am very much in the dark with this subject and anything to do with electric I try to avoid. However. I am in the process of making a new display unit where I display the things I make at craft fairs. To make the display more interesting and also to attract customers to my stall I thought I...

I need to get an air filter for my workshop that measures 14ft square, I get a lot of air born dust from the various machines I use. I have been looking at the Microlene filters on the toolpost website. I was wondering if they were okay and quiet running. Any advice would be greatly welcome.

The reference number is MB/08X1/4TC and I got it from CNS Power Tools and Fixings. Just type in trend router bits and they are on the first page. Gill. That is the problem with pin guided bits. Some time ago I bought a dremel with the dremel router table along with a selection of bits. A total...

I was having a chat with another member and he shared with me some info about some new router cutters Trend are now making. There is a selection to choose from but the ones I was interested in were the rounding over bits. What makes these so special from the scrollers point of view is that the...

I'm with John. I don't wear a mask either. The hegner purrs away and any dust is sucked up by Henry in the corner and I can still hear the radio. I used to wear a mask when I used to cut up a lot of MDF but I no longer use that. Iknow some guys wear a mask all the time aloing with safety glasses...

Hi Bud. A very warm welcome to the forum sand pleased to see you have started off right with a really good scroll saw, the best available. The best form of extraction is what you mentioned in your last question, the best extractor to get in the Henry, it has more power and a two stage motor and...

Brian. I think my foot switch is the same as yours. I to used a computer mains lead, just cut the plug off as the other end went into the scroll saw. I could have sent you a lead as I must have at least half a dozen spare ones here. I bought 3 metres of 3 core cable, I wanted it long enogh to go...

They are certainly a cut above the others I have seen. Very well made and finished and no doubt orders will come flooding in. I have stopped believing in Santa. I wrote to him three times last year and still did not get what I wanted.

Hi Brian. I am in the same boat as you when it comes to electrics. If it was not for all the help Martin has given me the switch would still be in the box. Help is at hand though and i am sure you will soon have the switch wired up and then you will wonder how you ever got on without one.

last week i returned home from my week away and in the boot of the car I had my Dewalt scroll saw that Martin very kindly repaired. The following day the saw was back on it's bench, I got the lighting sorted out and everything else. It was strange cutting a number of items on it because every...

Hi Geoff3. I replaced the old sander with the Clarke CS48 and it is really good, in fact it's the best sander for it's size that I have ever had or seen in other workshops. Prior to my visit to Machine Mart I had not beemn in one of their stores for a few years because when I was in there at...

Very good piece you have made there Brian. In my opinion your best so far. The design is brilliant and the way the dog smiles will melt any heart, if ever you sell it the cost should be into the 3 figiure mark.

Nice one Sporky. never thought of that. Barry, it seems to be a common problem with the cheaper sanders, never was much power in it. The sander has now gone to a good home.

I have just replaced my belt/disc sander so the old one is up for grabs if anyone wants it. I don't want anything for it but I cannot send it by courier, it would have to be collected. It;s a Charnwood with a 4 inch belt and a 6 inch disc. It still works fine, you just have to give the belt a...

American cherry is among the most beautiful woods you can get, the grain patterns are amazing. It may not look so good looking at the bare wood but put a sealer or oil on it and it transforms into something to behold, specially of the wood was quarter sawn. At almost 3 inches wide you are...

As so much interest was shown in the CS48 sander I mentioned on my previous post I thought I would start a new one dealing with the sander so that members may have an insight into it before being tempted to go out and buy one. My nearest Machine Mart is about 25 miles away so having a couple of...

Thanks for all the comments guys. Cordy, that is not the same sander. It's a brand new one that Machine Mart have just started selling and it's called the CS48. When I had it set up I wanted to show Tracey how to change the belt, because the sander was a display model the staff had lost the...
