A nice one Martin, as ever. Did you ever get around to selling any of these to biker clubs?

The hardwood wheels you can buy look really good and I've used them several times myself. An alternative is to make your own. They are more rustic and simple in design but very cheap as you can use scrap offcuts of wood. What you need is a 'hole cutter set'. You can spend a lot of money on...

. . . . please don't scold sir, I was just attempting a little humour. Fair enough, consider that coat gotten :cry:

You'll be having to give up the day job soon toesy and become a fulltime woodworker. You aren't far off it now ;-) Nice looking flowers and nice thoughts and actions. Well done.

Hi Bob, I think 'reflections' was Diana Ross whereas 'purple haze' was definitely Hendrix :twisted: Great piece of cutting though. Barry

Hey Joe, that's a great piece of cutting but I seem to have a purple haze around that picture . . . but it may be my monitor? Taxi for Bodger . . . .

You can get the identical, but COMPLETE, thing from Screwfix for £44.99 so this guy appears to be having a real laff.

Toesy, it looks wonderful with the names and a coat of oil and extremely professional looking. You really have taken to cutting, huh. Those names are so small and intricate and is a credit to your cutting skills and patience, of which, you have more than me ;-)

Gill, you are now on my Christmas Card list - you star. Many, many thanks for the head's up. Barry

Really nice piece of professional cutting toesy. You are a natural and it's a pleasure to look at your cutting as it is so neat, straight and precise. You shouldn't have the same problems with cherry that you had with the pine. Thank you for showing the WIP, it should inspire and encourage...

Good work with the Latham's booklet extract Martin. Very interesting.

Thanks for updating us with your reply Stooby. If you are making hangers the knots are a no, no as they can be seen. For portraits and stuff it might be OK but I'd be concerned about the smooth cutting action if it suddenly hits a knot.

Well, double struth !! I'm impressed with your combined knowledge about such viscous things. I never got beyond 3-in-1.

Many thanks for your point of view Geoff. Thanks for that Martin. Having a wider table presumably gives you more stability with wider pieces too.

A fine piece of work Bob. Well done.

Struth . . . . good answer.

What was the reasoning behind the auxiliary table Martin? Was it just to get a much smaller hole around the blade or to increase the size of the table?

Very useful feedback, thank you very much that was very informative. I've tended to use Olson blades because they are very sharp, have angled-cut ends to help feeding the blade and I've only had to usually change them when they got blunt. However, Olson blades are expensive in the UK and...

Subject says it all really. I always tend to use the standard reverse tooth blades to help eliminate tear-out and mainly for a cleaner cut but I hear peeps talking about ultra reverse tooth blades and wondered what the advantages were. I've found a picture on the internet and they look a lot...

Well done, good job. I'm sure they will be very well received.
