I feel like this is a story that deserves to be told! :shock: Gavin

Thanks for this Steve, looking forward to learning lots. +1 for the dark oak gentleman's club Cheers Gavin

Yes please +1 for a wainscotting WIP

Glad to hear it worked Jonny. I solved my problem another way - I bought a sliding table for mine... Steve - I've got your WE complete bandsaw, keep meaning to getting around to the complete tablesaw...

That is a very sensible suggestion that I will be following.

So, it's taken a few days but I now have the roller back, complete with a brand new shaft, fully assembled. The engineering guys did a great job. Now I should preface this next part by saying that on this machine changing the belt has always been a struggle. It was only possible to get the...

Congrats Mark on a great thread and a great bench, you must be well chuffed and rightly so. =D> As you say, now time to use it - any projects lined up? Cheers Gavin

Progress! Thanks for your replies gentlemen, they are appreciated and really helped. I tried tapping the cylinder down on the broken end of the shaft as suggested, and the end cap came off! (up until I read the post I hadn't end realised it could be a hollow cylinder :oops: ) Looking...

Looks good - dovetails on the drawers? :twisted:
