Wow. £100 was a good deal. I was quoted £250 for a rewind of a burnt out motor on my tablesaw. Not worth it when I could buy replacement from Record for £230 or an equivalent of the 'bay for £130. Nice looking job so far. I'm looking forward to you showing some of your wood project WIPS using...

That is really cool. Would quite like one for myself :oops: :D

This is where I fall down. Not knowing what is usually available and then getting odd looks when you arrive at the sawmill! No livestock, just a couple of cats and two boisterous kids (hammer). 50 mm was just a made up thickness due to my lack of knowledge as to what was available and what I...

Thanks for all the advice. I will ring them up and see if they are open Saturday morning (good way to avoid being dragged to the shops :shock: ). Roughly how much should I take into account for prepping boards - if I want 50 mm finished should I be looking at 55 mm thick boards, 60 mm etc. My...

Hi All, My designated mission during the Christmas break is to make a new gate for the garden. It will be 1 m wide by 1.8 m high. I was thinking of top rail and stiles being 50 mm thick finished and filing it in with tongue and groove boards about 19 mm thick. I am planning on using larch to...

Adzeman, I didn't recognise the gate from your WIP because it now has those metal studs on it. They look great and make the gate look really sturdy. Are they just decorative or are they holding things together? Where did you get them? Cheers, H.

Is there any chance of showing a full picture of the gate? I have to make a gate for our garden I like the small part I can see your picture. Thanks, H.

I went last year and it was my first woodworking show. I have to say that because I am not into turning I was really rather dissapointed :? Maybe I was expecting more discussions on cabinet-making and design. Instead it was manufacturer after manufacturer trying to sell their thing. Maybe it...

5K for 120 hours work. I work 40 -50 hours a week, or 160 - 200 h a month and only get paid £3000 a month before tax, pension etc so have about 2K to spend on the mortgage, heating, food etc. I am probably at least as qualified as you but in a different discipline. I assume you still have...

You really were at least part of the inspiration when I saw your original post! A friend moved into a new house last summer and there was a whole load of torn-up flooring left behind the shed in the garden. It had obviously come from old gym hall or school halls as there was still the...

Hi Pekka, I wanted to say thank you for being the inspiration for our hall flooring that I installed in January this year. All reclaimed timber (well nearly all; I was 0.2 m2 short #-o ). But the whole floor cost about £80 including adhesive, varnish etc. SWMBO now wants another in the other...

Alan, I have to say I am dissapointed by this. It just looks too Ikea. Sorry. There is so much nice wood on show but nothing to show good joinery. And I really don't like the white door! You have been doing a lot of good stuff recently - the aquarium stand and that odd table were quality and...

If only I had this problem. Any chance of Axminster opening a Scottish store? There is a nice big warehouse space about half a mile from me :lol:

I really like this. Good work! I especially like the dark end panels - I've never seen such dark ask before. The wooden hinges are also very cool. H.

While I am on the 'puter. Steve - I have been looking at your dvds for years now but every time I save up the pennies you release another 3 dvds and suddenly cannot afford the "complete set". I would really appreciate if you put up a table of contents for each dvd so I could better judge which...

tracing of riving knife is in the post. It is pretty simple but if I've missed anything please let me know. I like this saw but the motor is causing me a few problems at the moment, but that is because the previous owner abused it. It also means I picked it up for £100 so I really cannot...

I can send you a pattern of mine if you PM me with you address. Note that I modified mine slightly so that the riving knife does not extend above the blade, meaning that groves and rebates can be cut. You would still need a crown guard for the majority of you cuts though. Have you planned how...

This is just a case of you will pay what you will pay. All the other sites want about £6 for the replacement microclene equivalents. The only paperwork in my box was instruction to check the filter every month. Anything bought "as new" will automatically have a 1 year gurantee (assuming it is...

I never used to like Mr Ramsey but I must admit he has started to grow on me recently and that was very amusing!

Glad to be of service but I cannot take the credit because it was a forum member that spotted this several months ago and I took the leap back then. Cannot find the original link just now.
