Hello, Yes it is the Bandsaw from Paoson Woodworking. The project is well made and it have both the options to do it by hand or to CNC it, which is what I will do now to finish it. I just swapped the pulleys from the wood ones to metal ones.

Hello, I'm doing the classic small accessories (cutting boards, wall clocks...) and some medium projects (coffee tables, side tables, wall decorations). My max cutting length, with the table saw, is ~1.2m, also the planer beds are short and more than that I start to notice a light bow of ~1mm in...

Hello everyone. I'm posting a micro shop tour of my 12 m2 workshop 100% built by me from foundation to the last jig. MFT Table Collapsable CNC

Hello Tibi. I have a small workshop like yours (3m x 4m) and I had to use wisely the small space I have. This is my personal tier list: 1) Tracksaw + MFT: my main tool in the workshop. It is super versatile and it acts similarly to a small sliding table saw. You need to couple it with an MFT...

Thanks for the advice on batteries but unfortunately I can't store it outside. Where I live it goes -10c in winter and most probably it will damage it. For the battery storage I was thinking to use intumescent paint, as an extra protection, but it seems it is sold only in giant quantities. An...

Hello Everyone, I'm considering to buy 2 certified flammables storage cabinet to store both chemical flammables (paints & oils) and tool's batteries to add a protection layer to the workshop. My idea is to store the flammables in the the cabinets together with a temperature, or other, sensor in...

Yes I'm aware that there are good Chinese machines. Here in main-land Europe we have Harvey Alpha, Laguna and Sicar which are know to be quality China made brands with good support. My main question was about those ~10k imported machines (i.e. big sliders, 52cm planers). I would guess that they...

Hello everyone, Recently I was scrolling the catalogs of several machinery importers (Holzmann, Holzstar, Bernardo...) and I checked their professional models. These machines seems to cost just a little bit less compared the mainstream European brands machines (with similar specs) but, in my...

If the saw needs to live in your workshop then it does not make sense to buy a portable mitre saw. The right call would be A Radial Arm Saw or a cast iron Mitre Saw (like OMGA T55) which are not flexing and are seriously precise. Both the Makita and the Festool are carpenter/installer machines...

Hello I just saw that Virutex Released A Doweling machine similar to the Mafell DDF/DD 40. At first glance it looks less refined than the Mafell but, knowing that Virutex is a reputable company, the tool will be for sure at professional grade quality. Pricewise it fits exactly between the...

As promised I'm starting to post some of my past projects (those which I have pictures of).

Hello thikone, thank you. I was looking to the pricelist in the website and it seems a little bit higher compared to similar suppliers in SK, but I cannot confirm 100% as my last buy (and pricelist) was in November and prices now might be different. I usually buy from JAF Holz. They are a big...

Hello Tom, Thanks for the reply. That is what I really wanted to hear, someone saying that I'm wrong. As it looks you have experience, do you have some advice to help me refine my "perception of quality and standards"? I made my researches mostly on internet, searching manufacturer's websites...

Hello Tibi, Thank you. I hope I can bother you with some questions regarding buying wood in SK. When I ask to locals I always receive the same answer "Go to JAF Holz"....

Thank you, I will for sure post some of it in the next days.

Hello Jacob, Thanks for the advice. Regarding the budget I'm saying 30K is "Low" because when I spoke with professional woodworkers that I know (in Italy) they all kind told me that I need at least 50K to start. Yes, renting would be the major issue as where I live (Slovakia) there is a big real...

Hello Etaf, thanks for the reply. As "Home Decorations" I mean wall pictures (made of wood) and sculptures. I'm also following Peter Millard and I was already applying many of his methods, like Track-saw + MFT way of working. The only remark I have is that both the channels seems to work...
