    For Sale Unika staircase jig

    Staircase Jig for routing tread and risers grooves in the stringers. I did have a couple of mishaps with the router getting too excited, but these have been epoxy fill, so now works fine. Should also have a 30mm collection I can throw in, unfortunately the cutters already gone

    ........

    The old adage about if it sounds too good to be true it probably is, is never more so than on ebay, or even Amazon! If the seller has not been a member long, and has virtually no feedback and is offering something for much less than everyone else - RUN. Check their business address at the...

    Best tool for cutting down the grain for 2" thick hardwood

    Hi Matt Sound like you probably decided already to go the circular saw route. For many years I was buying only waney edge boards, mainly oak and although it was easy to put onto the sliding table of a Felder m/c, my sliding table was limited to 2.4Mtrs cut. Many boards were nearer to 3Mtrs...

    Used Felder or Hammer Combination machine

    Hi If I'm not too late reading your initial question I offer my comments for what they're worth. (see also my previous comments a year or so ago) I bought a new CF741 Pro back in 2008 and I can only confirm the previous positive comments already offered, that the quality, reliability and more...

    Bread making - dried yeast

    Hi If i can add some extra comments as I make my own bread pretty much all the time, manually not with a bread maker. There's no real difference between fresh, instant and dried active in terms of the finished loaf, but there are some differences in procedure. However, I do acknowledge others...

    Metal stepped hole reamers - just how accurate are they?

    Hi Actually they're pretty accurate, the cutting angle between the different diameters is shallow enough to guarantee concentricity. Of course you should check that the cutter you're using won't then make the hole too big! Personally i wouldn't use a diamond cutter for aluminium bar but a fine...

    A spot of brazing

    Hi The cheapest way would be to get one of the Rothenburger superfire2 turbo torches (use the recommended TurboGas). Any plumbers merchant will sell them. Brazing rods can also be sourced at same place or on ebay as can esiflow flux. As you'll be joining thin metal you might consider silver...

    New stair case

    Doris hi Blackrod is right you can replace visible part of the newel by dowelling. Personally i would recommend a mortice/tenon joint. Get the new newel post machined to the EXACT cross section as the original, then cut a very accurate mortice in the lower end about 8" long. Make the cut...

    Bath Side

    Hi Steve I had a similar problem with a client some time ago; she couldn't get a replacement for her bath as the company had ceased trading. I made a wood panel: If you chose to do this it's very easy. First you need to make a template of the exact curve at the edge of the bath (assuming its...

    Felder woodworking machine/s.

    Hi If you want the opinion of another felder customer; I bought a new cf741pro in late 2008 so it had the latest slides for the tilting spindle moulder. I was working on my own so initially chose the combi machine in preferance to separates. Initially this worked out perfectly but as i became...

    Stair configuration

    Hi Still trying to get a clear image in my mind of what you're attempting but if you look at my gallery and locate the staircase the same as my avatar pic you will see what i did to finish off a bullnose stair. My difficulty was because of the turn and having 2 newels very close. I chose to...

    Axminster ts250 minimum height cut at 45deg?

    HI Pity about the blade catching the cast bed. There is another option, if you were to make a "sled" angled at 44deg. then simply lay your workpieces in this and you will have an automatic 45 deg cut with the blade vertical. make it adjustable i.e. hinged and you will be able to cut at any...

    String width on staircase.

    Hi Just to add a further comment, it depends on whether or not you are intending on" open" of "housed" stringers. If your stringers are "housed" you don't need to leave as much as 75mm below the pitch line at the bottom of the riser/tread interface point, because with 2" thick stringer you...

    end grain door panel

    Hi I suspect that you have been unable to find any web based information because of the inconveniences of making such a panel. Unlike cutting boards which generally have a thickness of at least 40mm the glue face on a door panel is likely to be only about, say, 10mm, that's not a very large...
