I have the Evo circ saw and tracks and I’m in love-hate relationship with it. Ive upgraded the blade for finer woodworking cuts. It’s mostly fine. But to echo everyone else - not for fine woodwork. I’ve had a hell of a time with the splinter strips coming off - which is a real pain and makes it...

How you getting on Skippy?

I’d make a hand plane thicknessing jig - lots of examples on YouTube. Good for kumiko pieces for example.

I did actually wonder about that - we tiled the top of the bricks to protect them a little bit was unsure about sealing the back. Will it allow the brick to “breathe” (do they need to?) any thoughts/knowledge appreciated.

Please don't suggest that to her ! Ive got my own projects to get on with :D

thanks. I've just been catching up on your build updates after I posted before. Great work man, I'll probably be copying you - I'm working out of a small workshop too. I'll be interested to hear about any design mods you'd make after you've had a chance to use your setup for a while. cheers nic

Ive just purchased a 636 so would love the files too if possible please @sams93 ?

More progress…starting to come together

Thanks everyone. my girlfriend started before we had a response (impatient/excitable)* delete as appropriate. we went for fireproof adhesive Victas HB60 and a heatproof grout. We’ll use a sealer on top after. Hopefully it will hold up. It’s pretty rustic fun and colourful so hopefully any...

That’s a great reply thank you CG - and I’ll definitely be picking your brain I’m sure. I’ve purchased the manual already - just waiting for it to be delivered. (a paper manual these days?! I thought it was gonna be a pdf. Paper is probably more helpful tbh 😀) I’ve seen that thread over at...

Hey CG, how are you getting on with your refurb? Any pics/answers to the above. I’m due to start my Fobco restoration in short order and having never done it before I’m following all other threads I can for information. Replacing the bearings and refitting correctly is the bit that I’m...

Looks great @sams93 - enjoying following this thread. Thinking about a 636 myself. What’s the latest?

Amazing information - thanks for your replies chaps.

Hi all. I’m a relative beginner - I have some skills but really lacking some knowledge and confidence. I’ve read custard‘s great thread on buying hardwoods And it’s been really useful. But I’m seeking a resource (book/video/website) to learn about the thought processes that happen when...
