I like those, very nice work. What make is the overhead router in the picture? Cheers. Tony

Are you performing rip cuts? If so it could be tension being released when cutting through the timber causing the wood to close up and nip the blade. Drive a small wooden wedge or flat screwdriver into the saw cut behind the saw blade to prevent the timber from closing up and nipping/jamming the...

All those defects add character and tells a tale. It look brilliant as it is.

I know the feeling. I'm doing the same. Not interested in full time production anymore. Just enjoy using the machines keeping them alive. Tony

That hand screw Knob is paramount. You can't mistake a Wadkin Spindle Moulder split fence. Brilliant use as a substitute rip fence. Tony

Fantastic refurbishment. Have you enough work for it to be kept busy full time? Cheers Tony

It is an aftermarket auxiliary fence, in layman's terms. If your sticking veneers on both sides of a panel they could be overhanging the board edges, bigger in size than the board or sometimes called the core as it's in the centre. If you lift that auxiliary fence up so the veneer underneath the...

That's a nice small one is it a pneumatic rise and fall head, I can't see a foot pedal? These are fantastic machines, underestimated nowadays but once one of the main machines in the cabinet and aircraft industries. It looks in really good condition. This is what I use, I fabricated the...

Hi HPPS, I've got a 72 10" AGS also. Message me if you need any more info. My riving knife is different from the ones already posted. You can see it working on my YT channel with my same name as here. Tony Y

You could buy a quiet saw but the blade might scream its head off. Check on quiet running blades as well.

I'll throw a spanner in the works. It could be African Mahogany or Luan, these are lighter in their natural colour. Both have been used to imitate/substitute the quality South American Mahogany's in the past but are a lot less expensive to buy. They are not as durable outside as the former. I'd...

Hi drobinson87, That planer thicknesser sounds cheap, If it's ok I'd snap it up it will save you hours of sanding. I've used this Makita sander for decades it doesn't rock or tip. I had a monster Elu before it was a nightmare to use on veneers so got shot. Pic of Makita sander, it's an old one...

That Record Power DS300 will be a super machine, especially with a 1 HP motor. I've had a home made 12" disc sander, Picador aluminium disc and a 1/4 HP ex washing machine number for about 46 years. Great but you have to allow it to cut slowly, The 1HP motor will eat the wood alive. This is the...

Hi. You've taken up some good subjects on the CNC side. I haven't got any lol, still old school.

Hi everyone. This was the last item I made, just to try out the table saw finger joint jig I made before it. The timber is from an old Pine wardrobe shelf panel.

You have a great little set up. Tony

Brilliant job. These old machines are great when the come out of small independent workshops because usually all the bits are still intact, the accessories are with them and they haven't been abused by the gorillas. It looks superb as it is, unmolested. Are you going to completely strip and...

50Mmm Celotex wow. I have 12mm Celotex and its as warm as toast inside.

Your exactly spot on Ian. You don't really notice the electric it uses either as it's not on full trying to catch up heating a cold space every working day etc.

I have some videos using the Harrison 140 on YT under the channel name EYUP TONY. They probably standardised the Graduate's spindle nose for quickness in productions as the screw cutting machines would be already set up for the L5's. I have recently acquired a Harrison Jubilee wood lathe to...
