    Backgammon Board Prototype

    Vacuum veneering

    I use both a grooved platten (a piece of MDF with lines 'scored on it with a track saw and then the whole thing waxed so glue doesn't stick to it) and a breather which came with the Bagpress vacuum pump - a piece of scotchbrite would do so that there is some air passage between where the...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Thanks guys. Kind of you. To make the tambours I used a dark hardwood to make 100 slats 470 x 11 x 15mm. Then glued those up 15 at a time to the Spanish walnut sheets using compression rather than vaccuum etc. but between the staves was 1/2mm plastic sheeting cut up into thin strips so that the...

    Wanted Coronet Major Saddle

    This is a long shot - but just wondered if anyone has an old Coronet Major getting dusty or has a spare Saddle - they are the bits that clamp to the 2" bar to attach the tool rests to. I only have one saddle - and for turning long legs etc it would be useful to have another. Thanks Mark

    Makita 9903 3" belt sander not tracking correctly

    Thanks for your reply Bingyman, I havent dropped it and have tried multiple different belts on it - and it is just the same on all of them. When I took it into its component pieces none of them looked particularly worn or bent in any way. Its a bit of a mystery but it is a £200 tool and...

    mahogany desk build questions

    I made something similar last year from old mahogany - but I used book matched flame mahogany veneer for the sides and drawer fronts etc on a plywood base and had a skiver leather inlay - all worked out quite well

    Scotland NHS ban Desflurane Anesthetic….why should you care? You should.

    No I don't agree you would be better anaesthetised with propofol - an intravenous sedative. Using volatile agents in ICU for sedation makes no sense because of the difficulty in scavenging the waste gases when suctioning endotracheal tubes etc. Your graphs are interesting and for sure show...
