Looking for a supplier of well seasoned wood in South Wales.. I'm making gun stocks. Ideal woods would be beech, walnut and cherry. I'm in Swansea and have been to Swansea Timber and Ply and Nottage Timber in Pyle but there is not much suitable there. Yandles down in Somerset is brilliant but...

Just taken delivery of a Startrite 351S. Very happy with the machine... Sadly, it didn't come with a rip fence. Does anyone have one that they would like to sell on please? If there are no Startrite fences going, is anyone able to suggest a good fence? I was looking at the Kreg...

Thanks guys... Bought a Startrite 351S, taking delivery tomorrow...

Thanks for the replies.. I find the choice a little confusing.. For example I looked at a Startrite 351 which had a 300mm depth of cut but with a 1 hp motor. Unfortunately I was pipped for that on ebay. The SIP has twice the HP but it seems Mike feels this is underpowered perhaps?? If it is...

Hi Torn between these two models.. SIP has more power and slightly greater depth of cut, but only 1 year warranty as opposed to 5 years with the Record Power. Want a band saw for doing veneers in hardwood up to a depth of 7 1/2 inches.. grateful for any views....

Hi Any advice or views on the above band saw please? I'm looking for something capable of laminating 7" depth hardwood... Thanks Simon

Thanks Custard...

Meant to say cut the laminates on the band saw....

Hi 2nd post.... I'm intending to buy some wood to make a gun stock. I'm going to laminate the wood on my bench saw, glue the laminates together to create a block. Then I intend to cut out the rough shape on my band saw.... I'm looking to use beech, walnut and perhaps poplar. The block will...

Thanks guys.. I now feel as if I can start making a few test pieces using some of your suggestions... Many thanks indeed...

Yep, that's the effect I'm after... But what is a good glue to stick the laminates together, that will be waterproof and also kind to the router bit?? That's my question...

Hi Sunnybob Its for an Air Arms TX200 but it could be for any air rifle, spring or PCP. So long as I have the original stock I can copy the inletting to fit any action. I shoot Field Target and I'm interested in creating an attractive stock, but also one that will fit me and be...

Thanks for the replies guys.. Yes the link shows the sort of effect I'm after... I have a router copier and I was intending to create a blank master in solid wood and copy my laminated piece from that. Regarding the detailed inletting I can use the original gun stock as my copy. Hope this...

Hi Mike Thanks for your reply. I'm laminating mainly for decorative effect. It is done by others and seems a well established approach..... I am able to buy pre laminated gun stock blocks but they are very expensive. Thought I would give it a go myself..

Hi This is my first post, just joined today. My plan is to make a laminated gun stock. I intend to cut my laminates (out of beech) on my band saw, dye and glue them together and use my router to carve into the laminated block. My question is what would be a suitable glue to use between the...
