    Tools and machines for my workshop?

    But was your response actually relevant to the question. Could you not have given insight on the machines he's researched and said what machines you have in your workshop and whether you could recommend them?

    Tools and machines for my workshop?

    I can't fault Sebastian here. This started to go in the right direction with people interacting on what was asked then it went back to where it started, TheTiddles and Droog did you not read the earlier posts? All that information is clearly known by the OP and if it weren't then he's shown he's...

    Tools and machines for my workshop?

    I'm no spark, but I've done my fair share of rewiring etc. So please take the following as my understanding, liable to be corrected by someone more experienced/qualified. I've had a quick google and it does look that 32A charger points for cars go on a 40A breaker and that would be really good...

    Tools and machines for my workshop?

    Hopefully the router set up you've attached will come through. This is fact and not my opinion: that router table is better than anything you or anyone else can make themselves. I thought about buying it myself. The only reason I didn't is because I don't have the space in my garage for a...

    Tools and machines for my workshop?

    Hey Sebastian, just quoting a post at random to reply to you. First of all, well done for staying patient for so long I read the start of the thread this morning over breakfast and I would have snapped at that point but didn't have time. By the time I got in from golf it's just become...

    Workshop cabinets ala Norm

    I put actual formica on my router table, it was pricier than the alternatives but I felt it could be one of those things where you regret not paying the extra when you're sat there with your pond tubing trying not to get the whole thing to stick at once. I have enough trouble with screen...

    Workshop cabinets ala Norm

    No it shouldn't go on both sides, MRMDF would work out a bit cheaper given that you are laminating it anyway - it would be my choice. You can buy 8x4 MFT style replacement tops out of MDF for around £100 each on ebay that might be worth looking at because then the worksurface is somewhat more useful

    Dovetail sled

    That teaches me for having an idea!

    Dovetail sled

    I don't agree with needing a different one with stock size but you would need a different dovetail guide for each cutter, which would be replaceable on the jig via a tslot or slot and insert nut system. I'm intrigued by who has more than one or two dovetail bits in the first place?

    Dovetail sled

    you could have the sled back angle adjustable with a positive stop, so that cutting the tails is 90 degrees to the direction of travel of the sled and then cutting the pins, you are at the required angle for your dovetail cutter. Probably the most finicky part of the set up of the jig in the...

    Dovetail sled

    No sorry not like that, I don't really get where the value is in his jig as he's still having to mark out, I'm talking about a production jig where you use a dovetail cutter and only have to measure the distance between pins once and the starting position once. There are quite a few similar...

    Driveway gates

    unreal, they're incredible! They'll also pay for themselves within the month I bet, with people that'll see them and ask for something similar for their house - just had the same with my garage doors which aren't nearly on the same level as these

    Dovetail sled

    I thought of what I think is a great idea, but because I think it's a great idea I imagine someone has done it before You know you get those box joint jigs? They tend to make them in the US for table saws with a dado stack but also made for the router table. These are relatively easy to make as...

    The Alcove Bed

    I'm not sure actually, I'll ask my sister if it's weird for her. Our windows are reasonably difficult to see into unless it's dark out and the light's on inside The mattress is a good 400mm or so from the window as there's a window seat. I did tell her the day I made the window seat not to lean...
