Thanks for the replies. It is a machine HBM 10. I have employed all techniques mentioned and increased the knife height(was fixed on minimum difference in/out table) and am pleased to report better results. Thanks
Hello
Been reviving my tools while the children are away! I have been planing boards to make a bathroom cabinet. Some of the stock isn’t great so has taken many passes to flatten a side - to get down to the hollow at the non feed end. Thing is, I end up with ‘wedge‘ shaped planks with the feed...
“Is Brexit of any interest in the media in the Netherlands?”
It was huge at the time but now, not really. People I speak to are either for Nexit - Netherlands exit, or they are disappointed with the UK.
Many arguments against the EU seem to me to be upside down. ‘Elf an safety’ stifling...
Workshop forum and bloody Brexit. Well, here is my oar...
I didn’t/don’t know whether Brexit was or is for the long term good of the UK.
l live in the EU and am married to a European but I can trace my ‘Britishness’ back 300 years or more and mostly boring, the only ‘foreigners’ being...
This is the look/colour I am after but if I leave it outside it will look like that for about a week, whereas with varnish it looks very different but with a few coats will stay like that for years, after a wipe down with a wet cloth!
Ok, thanks. Went for Danish oil then epiphanes gloss in the end. Very different look but should hold up. Still interested in finding a finish that preserves the ‘unfinished’ looks and colour of white oak. Will look for water based and do some experiments.
I have made a couple of horse name boards from a piece of American white oak. I’ve sanded them and really like the colour. However, I have used yacht varnish before and this gives a yellow finish making it look a bit like pine.
Any recommendations for rough use finish that will keep the nice...
I bought the ujk iron table and lift with a dewalt 625. I have it working now reliably and I would recommend it. I was a beginner when I bought it and still am, really. All tables and lifts suffer from dust contamination and I am disappointed with the lift lock mechanism which does not work. You...
My woodwork is more on the ‘murdering a piece of teak’ scale. It is part of a hatch surround for my old Dutch steel sailing boat that I am refitting. I actually feel bad somebody better is not working the wood but it is the best type for that use. Your work is truly inspirational/aspirational...
Tried it, worked well, first time, with double sided sticky on the sub fence, which I used the bandsaw offcut of the original piece. Happy with the result, thanks!
Disinterior is correct, I am not really trying to cut a rebate, sorry, newbie with the terms, I am trying to cut a channel offset from the curved edge. I have done it with a piece of pine on my router table but not satisfied with the results - the channel or inside edge as it will become, is not...
