    TS-200 table saw stuck

    Don’t think so, it seems stuck on the inside.

    TS-200 table saw stuck

    Hi all, I have an (oldish) TS-200 table saw from Axminster. Served me well for years. Recently I’ve become unable to tilt the blade. It’s stuck at 90 degree to the table surface (luckily exactly right angle). The wheel on the side spins, but seems to slip. Has anyone had this issue, and...

    Dominion Elliot Minor - How do I use it?

    Question for all of you who own and/or know how to use a Dominion Elliot Minor (I guess that's primarily @SammyQ ...?) I have one of those that's been in the corner of my workshop for a while. I've been trying to understand how to make use of it correctly, safely and accurately. The original...

    Colour painting birch(?) plywwod

    I’ve picked up this beautiful “fantasy cube” toy for a bargain. It’s in pretty good state but with obvious signs of use. I would like to repaint/varnish some of the pieces and make some new “accessories” for it (bits and bobs that can fit in the various holes... I think / guess that’s it’s...

    Earlex HV5500 accessories - where to buy?

    After much deliberation, I've decided to get myself the Earlex HV5500 to spray lacquer and stains on my projects. I then called the number on the earlex.co.uk... to find that I was talking to Wagner and that they've decided more than a year ago to stop selling Earlex, concentrating on their own...

    Recommendation for spraying?

    Hi, I’m about to finish a new ash and wenge desk and want to finish it with a pre-cat or acid-cat acrylic lacquer (for durable finish). I read that it’s recommended to spray (not brush). I don’t have any of the equipment for that but I’m willing to invest. Does anyone have any recommendation for...

    Joining boards to make curves

    Actually those photos make me wonder... Custard, would you mind sharing the internal dimensions of your left hand side store? (Or rather half of it)

    Joining boards to make curves

    Thanks Custard, This is very useful context. We don't use the wood fire quite that much in our case as the house is relatively well insulated and the underfloor heating does a lot of the work already. We currently have a wicker basket which is 40x40x40 cm and we fill it maybe once or twice a...

    Joining boards to make curves

    Thanks Tasky, that's exactly it. It was a very preliminary drawing just for the overall shape so not the clearest. Lots of thoughts so far, and lots of ideas. I also thought about bent laminations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g85DplCf8iI) but I think my curves' radii are far too small to...

    (Finally) Bedside tables

    I had designed those for our previous house which has short pile carpet. I was then going to add feet. However, I couldn't figure out a foot design that I felt would work for it. We then moved house and the new bedroom has much thicker pile, and therefore I decided that no foot was good enough -...

    (Finally) Bedside tables

    Well, thanks for the compliment! I spent days thinking about the drawer pulls in particular, and am really chuffed with the result.

    Dominion Minor Elliot Owners manual

    Many thanks! BTW, would you (or anyone else) have any advice as to what mobile base I could use with something this heavy? I don't have enough space to have it in the middle of the workshop, so need to be able to (relatively) easily move it into place and then back in the corner when not in...

    Oak-veneered Plywood

    Very good point. I'm in the Cambridge area

    Joining boards to make curves

    I want to start a new - slightly crazy - project. We have a fireplace, and I want to make a "shelf" of sorts to store logs and kindling next to it. I could go square, but I decided to challenge myself, and make something completely curved (trying to look like a flame of sorts). The idea would...

    Dominion Minor Elliot Owners manual

    Hi Sam, Could I be bold and ask for a copy as well? I have a Dominion Minor, and can't seem to be able to make it work. I only have the "sales sheet" that came with it (only 3 pages), which doesn't go into any detail... Many thanks, Fabre
