    Fitting a jewellery box lock

    Well, after purchasing a new lock (good job I don't need a profit off this job), I have managed to finish this box and think that it looks ok: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =3&theater Thanks to those who did their best to help. Dave :)

    Fitting a jewellery box lock

    Thanks for trying to make me feel better. Now this is angry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DbUPjEbIvA I'll try and post a pic. Dave

    Fitting a jewellery box lock

    I have just come within a whisker of losing an entire finished piece, after screwing the ironmongery back on and finding the lock did not fit. After much jigging about, the lock stripped, in the locked position of course, and I barely managed to get it open again before it failed completely...

    Welsh dresser finally finished (almost)

    Thanks for all your kind comments. One reason for the hand tools is that I'm scared of power tools.

    Welsh dresser finally finished (almost)

    I have been working on this for about two years in total, but it's been the main project since Christmas 2010. This is the main reason I haven't posted for a bit. Here's a link to the project album on Facebook. The captions are for the lay person, not serious woodworkers...

    Oak and walnut stationery box

    Thanks for the nice comments. The box is now coming in very useful with all our stationery in it. :)

    Oak and walnut stationery box

    Here's a link to my latest completed project. Now to get back to those guitar jobs: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stanley_cl ... 232258622/ This box is designed for our family’s use, as opposed to anything that might be a gift or possible future sale. It’s had to be rather more ‘designed’ than...

    Scheppach ts2010 table saw

    Thanks again for all the advice. I think on balance I'm off buying the Scheppach. What is the exact issue with the Jet jts600? I think that a trip over to Speedwell Tools might be in order to look at some tools. Axminster is a long way from here.

    Scheppach ts2010 table saw

    Hmm! After that I'm back to considering the Jet JTS600 mail order. That photo is particularly telling.

    Scheppach ts2010 table saw

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I think after weighing it all up, I will go for this saw.

    Scheppach ts2010 table saw

    Has anyone got experience of using this saw? If so, what do you think of it? I want to use it for box making and, despite assurances from the promo blurb and one testimonial, I’m concerned that what is basically a site saw will not be sufficiently accurate. Any advice welcome. :)

    Oak garden bench

    Thanks for the good wishes and tips. I will look round for some plastic or rubber to make feet. That end grain is just ripe to suck up water, although the timber is incredibly dense so maybe it won't be so bad. The piece is being left to weather without a finish. I instinctively don't feel...

    Curved Front Drawer Joinery

    Curves do my head in, so much respect for this excellent piece of work. :)

    Oak garden bench

    Here's a link to a shot of this project, which I have found very challenging: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stanley_cl ... otostream/ There's another shot showing that the bench does not collapse with my family sitting on it. I'm a bit disappointed with the back rest slats, which are too short...

    Garden Furniture - George Buchanan

    Yes, I do have the book. I think that it might take someone with the book in front of them to answer the query. It would be two images to get all the information and I will have a go at scanning it (too tired and late at night right now). One part is the arm rests: two timber sections are...
