Thanks greybeard, Your advice is very welcome. I have got a good variety of sizes and it was my intention to experiment to a certain extent. Your past experiences do suggest that there may be no simple answer and that luck may play a part, we shall see. Regards, Beech Boy

Hi Andrew, Thanks for the comments, I guess there is no short cut and I must learn to be patient. regards, Beech Boy

Hi, I have just obtained 30 or so pieces of yew, they are between 30 and 100mm in dia. and 200 to 500mm long. They were still a tree on Saturday so I need to dry them ready for turning and the last time I tried this I ended up with some very high class firewood as it became split through to the...

Hi Tommo, I was interested to read about your saw as I have one the same. I bought it second hand about 45 years ago and have used it ever since. It is the same make but uses the name 'DRIVER Line'. Mine has the same mitre gauge but it has a mazack alloy fence with a micro adjuster on it. It is...

Hi Rob, Another problem that you have created for yourself is the hinge in the roof. This will have to be taken into account when choosing the covering. The best option seems to be felt and find some other way of stopping the red mites. A pvc flap/flashing may waterproof the hinge. Good luck as...

[/url][/img] Hi to my fellow woodworkers, This my first post and following Rknott's posting of his bathroom cabinet last week I thought I should have a go and show you my effort. I have recently refurbished my shower room and in an attempt to create more space I have constructed a cupboard...
