Hi All In have the Charnwood WB619 table saw. I see they have bought a new style fence out, has anybody got to use the new style fence yet? Cheers Drew

Cheers Mike What I should have said was it's about a 30cm taller than any 838 doors I've seen. Something to work with now, thanks. Drew

I'm making a door for the first time. We have an odd size rear inner door which I really need to keep the same size. Looking at the frame it's 840mm. This may sound a stupid question but how wide should I make the door? I don't want loads of planing after but also don't want it to look very...

Cracking idea! On a side note, I have Katsu router and it is incredibly loud and gets very at the tool holder. Is this just mine or is yours the same? Drew

Cheers guys I shall look into those suggestions. Drew

Hi I'm looking for recommendations for ply suppliers in the Stoke area. Only really used ply on none aesthetically pleasing appearance jobs. I purchased a sheet of far eastern hardwood faced ply from Stoke timber to make a raised dog bed. It's attractive on the face but the inner plies are all...

Have been having a look at them Mike. Do you have one? Drew

Doh! I was getting all excited until I saw the date, I was ready to sign on the dotted line. Drew

Are these routers easy to adjust the height when they're in place on the table, I fancy making one of yhese portable setups myself. Drew

Of course, I know what was meant now, it's getting late, lol. Thanks again for all the help. Drew

I was just about to ask a similar question regarding a coffee table top I found in the attic of our house. But having seen the above pictures I think I have my answer. Lovely piece of wood, I've made a couple of floor threshold strips with it.

Pete, do you mean like a butterly? Drew

I like the sound of this idea as well, may allow the bolt to sit down a bit more? Thanks Drew

Thanks for all your replies. I was thinking that it's got to be as central as possible. I shall have to buy some bolts and have a measure. I'm thinking the plates on each end have got to be about 18mm wide? As you say 7mm is still pretty thick as it's only going to be in 3 places on each piece...

Hi all, hope someone can help. My son has a couple of solid wood work tops 27mm think he needs joining end to end. Using the joining bolts, what is the shallowist I can get away with routing? I'm thinking 20mm doesn't leave me a lot of wood above. TIA Drew
