Not on any real personal level, have bumped into him on the Shenfield / Brentwood circuit through friends of friends over the years and think he bought me a pint of Veltins in the Terrace bar years ago. I know who he is by face and a hello. He kicks around with the generation above me. He has...

Yes, a good area to work in where customers will pay for quality, I was Shenfield born and bred and walked through the Mount every day to school, it's really what built my company. I moved out about 5yrs ago as begrudged 1.5million for a 4 bed semi, but still have a yard and 2 machine shops in...

Looks Really nice Bob, Nice to see you have given thought and taken time to do the walnut centre panels in consecutive / book matched veneers. Really makes for a clean uniform finish and just gives the kitchen a true handmade finish without people ever noticing. A sign of craftmanship at its...

May I suggest getting cutter knives made to copy the Domino profile.... We have and turn all our hardwood scrap into dominos in every size..... I was trained with a love and respect for beautiful Hardwoods, craftsmanship and dedication to hand tools..... BUT!!!! Was also trained in...

From a GRASS IS GREENER view point..... We have three warehouse sized joinery facilities with at least two of every dream machine you could possibly want.... And currently in the middle of building from the ground up a new workshop....... If I won the lottery I'd bang it all on the head the...

Thanks for the heads up Adam9453 Our main vacuum tables are zoned so we can direct the power as we wish.... Might be a bit much to add this feature to this MDF prototype!!!!! Lol

Whilst laying in the bath last night looking at this on my iPad I took a look at that company and have some very interesting stuff on there! Looking at their small vacuum hold down table made me wonder if it could be done on a larger scale (8x4) lol fitted to 150mm mains extraction system in...

Adam9453 I think you have nailed it!!!! That would be a fantastic idea to overcome the issue, be it a simple 2x1 hardwood section run around the edge or if built into a bench a 3x2 section with an 18mm rebate for the board to sit in and easy replacement. Would use something hard like Maple...

The last picture shows one in buffalo board as we have a team on external works at the moment so handy when it rains.

Very good point Discostu! We produce an mft style top 800mm x 1200mm in mr-mdf for our installers out on site which they just pop on stools and clamp down. They fit a t-track along the edge for fast clamping and alignment. May not make sense but put into practice it is a good system. The main...

Yes very common in commercial case work, we do a lot of it. These are cnc cut so saves on tool change time hence reduces costs ect. Say the internal dividers are 6mm ply then the whole file is drawn to optimise a 6mm compression cutter for the internal rebates and on the finger joint corners it...

First time trying to upload a picture so sorry if all goes wrong!!!!!!! Not exactly the same but these are pocket door system we made a while ago but has doors hung from another. We had concerns similar to your as the doors we made are 44mm thick solid ash over 2.3m high and around 950mm wide...

For no real reason I would have said no!! but just looked up on the wall in the office and there is the Medite Tricoya broacher hanging up and has a picture of a kids outdoor play centre slide on the front cover!!! So YES!! LOL

In 15 yrs we have had the pleasure of the HSE 3 times as far as I can remember, the first time the lady was more interested in what we was making and how it was made, all she said was keep the place tidy please! we clear down and all waste removed every night before we close anyway as forms part...

Hi, Not shore if it comes under the same thing but currently putting up a new steel frame warehouse next door to our current warehouse and the pads have just been poured and steel frame is about to go up. If it is the same sort of system im happy to ask the steel frame guy's any technical...
