Made this little tool tidy for my cocktail kit. Really nice to get back into the shop and get lost in making again. Turned out nice. Walnut with danish oil finish

400 pounds plus. if it has the sliding carriage an extra 50 to 100 pounds. I got the saw second hand for 500 euros with the sliding carriage hope that helps. Rick

You are missing something ! look at the link nev posted and is on the for sale page on uk workshop I linked for you. those runners are under mounted. so not on the side. no gap will be needed instead you raise the base of the drawer up I think its 20mm and in that space underneath is where the...

blum-draw-runners-t98530.html See the link above a member is selling 4 drawer runners, they are under mount so you need to leave the bottom of the drawer a little higher but the sides then, don't have any ugly cap or metal drawer hardware. Regards Richard

Thank you for the detailed post. Is there quality new equipment to buy to sharpen and set a blade or do you recommend getting second hand gear?. Links to recommendations would be appreciated. Something I have been wanting to learn about. Regards Richard

Pictures wood help I cut them first with a jap saw. Then use a coping saw to remove the waste leaving very little chisel work. is it cleaning the shoulders you break the pins or when doing final shavings to the scribe lines with a chisel? Is the grain very curly? or straight grained? Regards...

I want a movie! demo please... very interested. what vacuum/ dust extractor are you using? Edit. sorry see your answered that question before

another solution, in the waste area, drill a hole through all the blocks for a dowel use it for your alignment. doesn't give you more open time but should take out some of the hassle!

a dam cloth works well! would do this for complex multi part glue ups when i was in the heat of Denver. it just slows down the absorption of the posture from the glue into the wood which gives you a little extra play time. Richard.

Really nice Idea, For an assembly table flatness is important could you have some more grid support for under your 18 mm top ? definitely one down the middle over the slot for the dust extraction, shouldn't effect air flow. regards Richard

numatic-nv750-workshop-vacuum-extractor-t98168.html have you seen this ?? on sale on the site unfortunately the 100 mm pipe one is already taken it seems

I would recommend these very strong once tightened and with a use of dowels or a tongue and groove will keep alignment as well. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003Z7VR34/ref ... B000GFOXNY Richard.

way too try hard... and annoying. the original top gear was getting very ridiculous and scripted.. then this bs took the biscuit. was really really corny. the lame jokes slagging the previous show just showed what we will be missing :/
