I've got the Trend catalogue. I am amazed at the amount of profiles there are. I use TW Wholesale when I buy any

Thanks for those valuable tips on the set up, I'll get a sharpening stone for it soon. I was juggling a bit with the auger/ chisel gap but got a mortice cut! Now to work out where it's going to live in my rather overcrowded workshop.

Hi All. I have just picked up a Charnwood W308 machine. I've never used a morticer before. Any tips? It came with a drill chuck and 7 chisels. It was really cheap so I can't complain if it's a pile of poo! I am going to have a go at making a set of gates, My biggest project so far.

So two days, You are already at £300. Although you said you got the wood for free, you still have to factor in the cost of it. What if someone else likes the same thing and you have no wood? adding it all up You need to charge £450 at least. Weather you will get that, is a matter for you and...

I like that quad bike, was that one of John's plans or freelance?

I'll mention that to them. Thanks for the idea

The holes I have problems with are the ones for the roof supports. I always seem to drill off square, too far back, too far forwards. Any tips? I have a radial pillar drill so it should be straightforward, But, It isn't!

I have posted my three trucks on 'things you have made' thread

Managed to Hopefully resize the image. They are a free plan. Still making them with whatever size wheels I have in stock. I can't seem to rotate the picture, but It gives you an Idea.

Looking really nice. Much tighter than I could manage ( being impatient doesn't help) When I can resize a picture, I'll post my efforts on 'things you have made'

+1 for Metabo, I have it's little brother the 216. Mine was accurate out of the box. It has a repeatable trenching facility. The Bosch I looked at, You had to reset the depth every time, And that was 600 notes!

Hand moulding planes are often quicker and easier to touch up a small run of moulding

I saw that Half track on Johns site. That is WAY better than I could even dream of doing, I'll check out you tube.
