Cheers for the replies, was wondering if the Axminster Deluxe Rip Fence could be fitted to the C6 ?

Hi, would anyone know if its possible to buy a rip fence for a Wadkin C6, I cant seem to find anything on Google, thanks

The wood looks great, should be a fantastic piece Phil

The front the of the seat is 17 inches off the ground, sloping down to 13 at the back Cheers

Great to hear you liked it Paul, let me see the results

Yes Rockford I probably should have painted them before assembly but I'm impatient like that, will probably use something like Ronseal Exterior Garden paint because they'll be outside most of the summer months, will post a pic of them painted. AES, yes I like the practical nature of the design...

These pieces hold the seat in place The back of the chair fully assembled Covering the stainless steel screws with plugs And that's one chair completed and ready for a final sand In situ, ready for a warm summer. The chair seat fits into the back when not in use Thanks for...

Four leg pieces finished after a quick sand down Next to cut the seat slats, all from 2"x1" PAR tantalised and 20 inches wide The belt sander makes light work of the sanding This piece is at the top of the chair, cut to shape on the bandsaw A handle is formed at the top of the chair with...

I have been making a few garden chairs recently so decided show the WIP. Design wise the chair is fairly simple, quite easy to make and also to replicate. I have cut enough parts to make 5 in total using tanalised wood and the final finish will be an outdoor paint. First step is to make...

hi, i have the Fox model and have used it for oak, white wood, ash etc and it makes a decent fist of things although i payed £120 from Rutlands for mine and would'nt like to pay any more for one. The fences are completly unusable, absolute rubbish, i use a 3 inch piece of angle aluminium instead...

Yeah thats the one, i've used it a few times since getting it set up, just messing about with scrapes of wood and im pretty pleased with it, as Steve said you can't go far wrong for £100. Must say its pretty addictive, an hour or two goes by before you know it. A builder i know has just had two...

Hello all Recently picked up a Macallister Copy lathe at B&Q along with a set of 5 Rexon chisels for £115, was i wise or a fool easily parted etc, i've never turned anything before so it's all new to me Thanks, Phil

I've used it quite a few times and it's been hit and miss, ive found the glue failing on some sheets over quite a large section so its worth giving them a good check before buying although their not bad for the money, i pay 22 euro for 8x4 x 3/4. Phil

I have two of them (dont ask), if accuracy is of importance then this isn't the machine, it'll plane and thickness ok but has a rubbish fence, tables which aren't adjustable and on both of mine they are way off, i got mine for £120 at Rutlands and i'm just glad i didn't pay the full price Phil

No its just the top but i think the stand is down to about £75, would it be just as easy to make the stand or do you think its worth the money Phil
