In addition to what was said; the opening time of cascamite is way longer than that of TB & the like. So, in cases of a very long and complicated glue-up, cascamite has an advantage. Eyal

As I am leaving the UK, I am putting my Coronet Consort for sale. I bought it two years ago, but hardly used it. It comes with a table saw (two blades and a mitre fence) with rise/fall and tilt mechanism, and with a slot morticer (with three bits). It is possible to add to the machine a p/t...

I would warmly recommend Michael Scott http://www.michaelsscott.co.uk/. I spent a year in his workshop studying furniture making. There are up to four students in the workshop, where usually one or two are on longer course (half a year to a full year), and the rest are on shorter courses - a...

I am always knocking over the light that stands on my bedside table, so I decided to avoid the problem ... Eyal

Here are some pictures of a pair of bedside tables I have recently finished making. It is made out of Cherry (English/Native/Wild) with Padauk handles. Its measures 45X45X60 cm. As you can see, part of the top is a circle that swivels on a lazy Susan, where half of it can be lifted up to reveal...

Two more things to consider - (a) Ebony usually bleeds while dyed Sycamore does not (b) Ebony is an endanger specie that in many cases is fell illegally. Eyal

I am not sure what I used for cladding - if I remember correctly it was treated pine, which comes with a profile of a shallow arc. The shingles are Bitumen Roofing Shingles. I saw that Wickes (and others) sell them. Their price is £0.84 per shingle size 1000 X 336 mm. As the shingles overlap...

It looks really good. Reminds me of the Wendy house I built a few years ago back in Israel. The worst part was the shingles - it was a hot & humid summer :oops: . The fun part was dis-assembling one of those solar garden lights, and fitting it in. Anyway, I am sure your children would love it...

Hi, I was approached by my children's school to run a woodworking club. It is a small primary school, with high level of involvement from the parents (or guardians, as they like to call them in this hyper-politically-correct era). As this is the very first time I am doing something like...

Thank to everyone for the feedback. Here is a photo of the drawer where one can see the central runner and the handle. A circle is routed 10mm into the front of the drawer and a piece of Padauk (5 X 5 mm section) is then glued across. The cabinet is finished with two layers of shellac and then...

The cabinet measures 400 X 220 X 600 (W X D X H mm). And here is a picture of it open. The door is held closed by two magnets hidden behind a Padauk plug - one in the door and one in the frame. Eyal

Hi, Here are some photos of a small cabinet I finished recently. Made out of (Spalted) Beech and Padauk. The drawers run on central runners, as those with sharp eyes can see. Eyal

I buy mine from Hafele http://www.hafele.co.uk (item number 007.81.108) - good bond, relatively easy to take off, leaves no marks, and quite cheap - £17.27 for a pack of 6 (25mm wide). Eyal

In parallel to posting to the forum I sent an email to http://www.ajax-mach.co.uk/. I asked them whether they might have a manual or know where I can get one. The next day I got a reply asking for my address as they were going to send me a copy of the manual. Two days later - the manual landed...

Hello, I purchased an old Ajax Pillar Drill Type B - 16L. I was wondering if anyone has a manual for this machine or know where I can get one. Thank you, Eyal
