I am in the process of making a new panel for our curved corner bath. I spent some time working out the angles and curves, marking up and making a top and bottom frame which will be connected together with uprights, to which will be glued and pinned "bendy mdf", the whole thing will then be...

Paul, The raised panel cutter is 89mm in diameter which is quite big, over 3.5 inches. Make sure your router and table have a large enough opening to take a bit that size. Martin.

Cheers, PM sent.

Cheers Byron, I intend to do just that when they are back next week. Will update with the outcome.

I have had a response from the other timber supplier I sent my original list to as follows: "The timber in your list, planed to size, would cost £250.00 in Oak or £182.00 in Ash, delivery if required would be £34.50" This is based on the original list of exact sizes in my first post and it is...

I have emailed my new list to EO Burtons plus three or four other local Hardwood suppliers. I will post again with the outcome.... (probably after Christmas now). Compliments of the Season and thanks again to all the responders. Martin.

JasonB I like your suggestion of grouping parts from similar thickness stock (thanks for taking the time to specifically detail the stock required for my project). I would like to stick to the original finished sizes. I have to admit that I made an error on the original list, there are only 2...

First of all, a big thankyou to all the forum members who have replied so quickly. Mike, Langdon Hills is south Essex near Basildon, but within striking distance of Thorogoods so may well pay them a visit. The first quote was for "boards only" they quoted PAR but this was £299 plus. Big soft...

HELP!! I want to build a new headboard for our (normal size) double bed. I found a plan I liked so worked out the cutting list, details below, exact finished sizes, all in mm (sorry about the format but I could not work out how to post a formatted table). Legs - Qty 4 / Thickness 75 / Width 75...

I asked the same question a short time ago, follow this link for the thread; https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26907 Regards - Martin[/u]

Andy, Thanks, it was worth a try! :) Martin.

Andy, Thanks for the update, look forward to the full review, but may well be tempted to invest in one (unless you know someone who has a spare, little used one, they don't want?). Regards - Martin.

Andy, Thanks for the swift reply. Have you tried sharpening turning tools yet, underneath the segmented disk. It looks really good for normal chisels/plane irons etc as there appears to be a solid guide, but how easy is it to hold a roughing gouge or even finger profile spindle gouge under the...

Welcome, In my opinion the first thing to do is sign your Dad up for a turning course. I don't know where your Dad lives but Stiles and Bates in Kent and Peter Child in Essex are both very good, I learnt from Chris Child (Peters son) and have not looked back. Both these companies can offer sound...

It is rumoured that Rutland Power Tools will soon be selling the Work Sharp tool sharpener, follow this link for details; http://www.worksharptools.com/product.asp?specific=137 It has been available over the pond for over a year now but not yet in the UK. Has anyone any experience of it? Martin.

Have you got any Festool? Martin

And I agonise about spending £340 on a Festool TS55 saw. Complete madness!! Martin.

All, I have a Festool CMS with sliding table which is really good but could do with a clamp to hold work to the table whilst crosscutting. At the Axminster catalogue launch on Saturday I noticed a Jet JTS-250 CS Super Saw which appeared to have just the sort of clamp I wanted and looked as if it...

Hi Wizer, If you feel inclined perhaps you could call the store, ask to speak to the Manger (I think his name is Mike, the email is on my other PC which is at home so I cant be exact) and explain your disappointment with the machine set ups. He seems to want to do the right thing, if there is a...

Further to my earlier post about the problem I had with Axminsters Sittingbourne store, in fairness I did not mention that this was some time ago. The current manager of the store has contacted me to let me know it is under his (new) management (since last summer) and he has suggested I attend...
