Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been on for a while, still adjusting to our new house move and working on some things in the house. Just as we moved into the house, a jet spindle moulder and drum sander came up on a classifieds site that I just couldn't let pass. The spindle moulder is perfect and...

Hi guys. I have come across the above spindle moulder for sale and was looking for some advice. It is single phase and comes with a power feed and a few cutters. The thing is it only has a 2hp motor. Should I be looking out for something with a beefier motor?

Anyone have any experience with these? See quite a variety of them on flea bay.

My partner and I have just bought our first home. Sadly it hasn't got any kind of workshop only a large galvanised shed for firewood and such. The small space I worked in before was only around 16' square which was very small. I had my Jet Supersaw in the middle of the floor, my 3520B lathe out...

Hi guys. As above I'm looking for some advice on purchasing a p/t. The only problem I have is that I don't have a 16 amp supply in my small workshop. I have a feeling I'll have to do something to get the proper supply into the workshop.

Hoping someone can help me out. Don't know what happened with my bandsaw last night. The blade broke, I wasn't cutting anything when it happened. I changed the blade but now the bandsaw won't start. A friend of mine fixes woodworking machinery and reckons it is the switch. Does anyone know where...

I bought a Jet Jwbs 16x second hand about 2 years ago. I have been mostly using it for rough shaping blanks for woodturning but would like to start using it for finer work for furniture making. While going over the machine I noticed that the top wheel doesn't run true. I took the wheel off and...

I was thinking of trying to make a chair using this method. http://video.pbs.org/video/2172468729 I understand there could be a number of issues. Wood movement, cupping and possibly the weight exerted on the joints. What I had in mind was using material approx. 3" thick and maybe 15" wide. Are...

I picked up a Stay-Set No. 4 for €9 last Sunday at a Market. The body, blade and chipbreaker had been painted black and the handles red. Stay-Set caught my eye and I never looked over it fully. Taking it apart I found that it has the frog that has a groove milled in it but didn't have the screw...

I'm looking to get a honing guide to help sharpen my chisels and plane irons. I am sharpening using the Scary Sharp method and was wondering can any honing guide be used to h using hone his method? I know there are many different honing guides out there, some far superior than others. At the...

Can anyone tell me why the blade in this plane is wider than the plane itself?

Anyone know where I can get slim coping saw blades? I am about to practice some hand-cut dovetails and the blade in my coping saw is too wide to turn efficiently.

Well, my space. So here are a few pics of my messy shop. These were taken a while back and it's actually much worse than that now with shavings from bowls all over the place. These photos were taken about a week after I got the machines so they still aren't really in the locations I would...

Ok I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but, would granite be ok to use for Scary Sharpening? A local granite supplier said i could root through their offcut bin on Saturday to find something suitable.

I picked up a no. 4 Record plane at a car boot sale recently and have only realised that the lateral adjusting lever is missing. Is this a part that could be purchased and replaced or should I be looking for a replacement frog? It needs a bit of cleaning and some work sharpening the blade but...
