I am planning to make a thread for it, which i really should get round to! Unfortunately working on the drawers I had a horrible accident with the router table which has halted production. That also needs it's own thread actually :)

This is really interesting - I’m working on a Seb Cox inspired desk, using beech for the frame instead of hazel. The piece of beech I used also had a slight ripple, it’s quite beautiful. I’ve worked hard to try and incorporate it into the show faces. I was also unsure how common this was. Not...

I built two large built in wardrobes last year, each with six push to open drawers. The carcasses where all birch ply and the drawer and door fronts where painted ultralite medite MDF. All of my drawers where made from Birch ply, 12mm sides and 6mm base. For the best results use a router table...

I had the Elektra Beckum (they got bought out by metabo, so essentially the same thing) version of that model for about a year. It was pretty good, and I made some nice things with it, but it has it's shortcomings. Switching between thicknessing and planing is fiddly, and the machine can go out...

No worries, when I saw your post I did think “I have just done exactly this!” :D In reality the wheels don’t stick out much further than the table / fence supports so the wheels don’t get in the way at all. This is the second mobile base I’ve made to the design (which I can’t claim ownership...

Not quite... although I did make my own dc chamber modelled off the same principle, works well. Yeah they’re expensive bits of kit. I did buy it in the us and brought it back with me one trip, so paid about half the uk price! Super fence though, can’t fault it.

Been working on this on and off over the year but have finally finished the router table.. So much storage, it's great!

I'm not sure it helps but I recently built myself a wooden base for my bandsaw with four swivel castors. The height of the machine wasn't an issue as I widened the centre of gravity by extending the wheels outwards on the same plane as the blade. The machine was then bolted to the base to make...

I bought the half inch version of that set. Biggest waste of time. Two of the cutters broke on first use. Wound up returning and have slowly built up a set of decent cutters from wealden/axminster. Buy cheap buy twice. Your choice.

I have a a TRA001 mounted to an Incra plate and it works without hassle. Not sure this helps, but just saying that it is definitely a combo that works! FWIW I bypassed the locking switch and installed an external nvr, as it irritated me after a while. See...

I have the FM300BC and it works very well. I have it set up with metal ductiing and aluminium blast gates on three machines. Keep the diameter as wide as possible for as long as possible. I have a 3m long 150mm length that runs one side of the workshop, with 100mm hoses feeding off it. Try and...

Thanks guys Ps - it has been confirmed we are NOT having triplets, so thankfully the three up crib will have to wait :)

I don't often post here but I so enjoy reading through what other people have done so I thought I may as well… We've been wanting to create some built in cupboard space in our bedroom for some time, and with a baby due in a few months it suddenly had to happen fast! I did a lot of reading...

Yes. They bought homebase some time last year IIRC. Can only be a good thing if you ask me.

Thanks guys, he responded to my question on the FOG. All sorted!
