Really? I tried, I can't seem to edit the post. There are a lot of buttons and stuff but that isn't one of them apparently. Why? Spam?

120 the pair. They are the expensive ones. The vario, which have movable heads. The most versatility possible

I've been struggling with my connection but I've finally added photos. Price? I havnt been able to find my receipts but I'm asking half of what I paid. If you Google them, I'll do the same, the price will be listed. While I've got Internet I want to post this. My phone number is < REMOVED BY...

A pair of 1500mm bessey cramps. 150 k body Revo, The best money can buy. The k model has the top head that can move along the sash so you can centre/balance it if needed. The bottom ones come off and turn around so you can use it as a puller as well. You can also join them to make a double...

Not far away at all. Things have changed but probably not the workshop. It was part of the old brewery in the main street old village. The brewery itself is now apartments of course. They kept the building original though so not a bad job.. The brewery is 1790?

Router tables are fine but spindle moulders are better. If i just want to chamfer an edge id rather set up the router table then a spindle moulder. The answer is both really. Im in a shared workshop , until recently we had a spindle moulder (Felder) and also we all had our own router tables. Set...

Wood workshop bench space and shared woodworking machinery to rent. The waney edge workshop is in a secure yard in an old brewery in the old village area of portslade. We have been established nearly 10 years making cabinetry and furniture for clients for commission. There are 3...

Wood is a puppy. It doesn't want to be furniture. It wants to be a tree. 20 years in I'm none the wiser. It catches me out every day. Having said that, the thing that I like is that each tree has a life span. It will die and need to come down. If it's special us furniture makers can give it a...

If it's really heavy my first thought would he maple. It would make very clean and smooth (if on the yellow side when oiled) bow tie stitches. I make mine out of walnut or wengie but I like dark ones to contrast. Apart from making my banjo neck from rock maple I've never found much use for it...

Can I get off topic as well? I'm a cabinet maker looking to branch out. I've made a few chairs here and there for myself including reverse engineering a rocking chair and remaking all but the spindles. After 20 years of cabinets I'd like to make something less mathematical, more handwork and...

To address the original question Im no expert but id say a tree bole 4 foot long and one foot diameter unless its exotic (ebony, rosewood etc) just wont yield enough usable planks to bother with in my book,

some plywood is uke. They chuck it under "hardwood throughout" heading but if its not that pink ramin/meranti stuff i used to call far eastern. Its coming from brazil when its in the form of plywood which is a bit worrying if you follow bolsorano ?s attitude to forestry. Uke is great as its fast...

does not look like a wood boring worm beetle luckily cuz its a big one alright. longhorn or common or at worst deathwatch are more likely culprits if you have worm

My table saw and I are best friends. We couldn't live without each other. Sometimes I want to bring it out for dinner.... Once you have one you'll wonder how you lived without.
