The problem with posting is it’s heavy and I suspect it would probably get damaged

Sorry yes I should have put the price in my post, I am asking £250 and the buyer collects, I’m located in mid Warwickshire.

I have a 3 phase converter for sale. I used to run a Felder BF 631 4 hp combination machine and a 1.5 hp bandsaw. Made by Silverdrive Engineering. While I had my Felder it performed very well, rock solid, if anyone is interested let me know.

Thanks for all the reply’s

Hi, I am thinking of making a small chest of drawers from some sycamore but would like to keep it as light as possible. My normal oil finish will darken the wood, I know that Osmo do a wax oil with a white tint but have never used it befor ( I have used normal Osmo on many things befor). Has...

I have used both the axcaliber and Tuff Saws blades and definitely prefer the Tuff Saws blades.

Hi, I looked into sound proofing my workshop so the neighbours would not be trouble. I went to the local college and read the various architectural texts that dealt with soundproofing. There is a big difference between soundproofing for say a recording studio and soundproofing to prevent sound...

Just a thought, how flat is your plane sole? I don't recognise your plane, if it’s not Lie Nielsen, Veritas or Clifton then you may have a plane sole that is not flat. I run any new bench plane over 100micron 3M finishing film fixed to 15mm float glass (if you order some make sure it is not...

A low angle blade is usually preferable for end grain and should be razor sharp. A standard angle plane such as your numbed 4 should still work well but you really have to make sure your blade is as sharp as you can get it and aim to take a very thin cut. Make sure the blade is well seated and...

And that’s a lot of resin.

My go to square is this one Kinex Engineers' Square DIN875/0 100 x 70mm use it all the time, the longer arm is fairly thick which gives a good bearing surface for marking knives.

I used one when setting up my new (1 year ago) band saw. I put it on a fully tensioned blade and squared the tables miter slot to the blade. Worked great. I may have been lucky but the fence did not need any adjustment and I get accurate resaws deepest to date around 200mm.

Have a look at Katz Moses’ YouTube on this. He is working with US data but the information is transferable.

I’d go for Titebond 3 for its longer open time with a few biscuits for alignment and an extra pair of hands. I think the standard white PVA’s were/are prone to creep and would weaken when wet. However PVA’s like Titebond 3 crosslink as the cure producing a 3D matrix that is very resident to...

Retired, best job ever should have done it earlie, highly recommended.
