Well guys thanks for your advice and input, I've finally made the piece with the making of various jigs etc and taking on advise from the forum.
I tried it today, picture attached it worked well enough.
However I needed to really test the strength of the hanger, so decided to put more weight /...
Hi Again oh learned ones.
I seek advice again.
As some will have seen from my other posts I am trying to build a hanging curved floating shelf / hanger.
I have now worked on an idea of french cleat to secure to wall. Ideally i saw some slimline aluminum ones but alas not available here is SA...
Hi
So something like the attached?
Use a bearing on it, as the arbour is quite long I can space the bearing accordingly.
Use a bearing same cutting width as the cutter? If they exiist, to run of form?
Hi all
I've thought I'd managed to do the hard bit on building the vacuum pump, making the bags and the forms but I'm a bit stumped on how to trim my piece to finish size.
I need to trim the downturns of the piece so they are all flush with each and also the front edge. The max I would be...
Hi all
So with the help of this site and Joe Woodworker I built myself a vacuum pump and bags. Based in South Africa it wasn't the easiest thing to source some of the parts needed.
Bu it seemed to work!
I know could do with some advice on the trimming and sizing of the the piece.
There will...
So I done the project today.
A few niggles.
The burn marks, I guess I need to move the piece quicker, sometimes difficult when trimming the external and internal corners..
I managed to get zero gouges so the process of mounting new piece and flush cutting against previous piece worked.
One...
Thanks guys.
So pending if I'm cutting at 6 or 12 oclock will determine direction.
There is no issue cutting either side whilst using a table?
Also as said I have a flush cutter with bearing top and bottom, should i cut with workpiece on bed with template on top contouring on top bearing...
I decided to buy a router table on Friday, I thought it will get some use.
Attached are images based on advice Im being told, am I correct in workpiece direction?
(arrow points to direction workpiece will move)
Want to be clear as cutting tomorrow morning.
Also I agree if I need to make a...
I'm thinking about this, my flush bit has bearing top and bottom, so if I flip the workpiece over then i can travel all pieces right to left?
I will have to be careful in the internal corners as there will be a tendency for the ply to grab?
I agree, but its in its infancy.
I have a couple of 2000w routers at the workshop
Also if the pieces are premachined. I then have to ensure they all line up exactly.
Hi all
I want to construct the attached.
It will made up of around 15 - 16 separate sections of 18mm ply.
I have had templates cncéd for the shape already, my production process is:
1. Mount template to first ply piece
2. Use flush bit to trim ply to size, rough cut shape already
3 . Remove...
Like the comments thanks a lot.
It's not for me, my bikes hang in the garage on 2 bits of rebar with pipe insulation on them!
Fitting out a bike shop at the Water Front in Cape Town.
I think there maybe a bit of a market for it here, so many people live here in quite small apartments and...
