Hi Andy, I am your age and also self-employed, so it is very difficult to pin down exactly how many hours a week I work, as far as my brain is concerned I think, I am thinking about jobs and how best to do them all the time, often I wake up in the morning and think I should add another couple...

Bit off topic but I have just finished my second batch of home brewed ginger beer, is there any way of knowing roughly, the alcohol content (apart from drinking it) ? :occasion5:

John, I posess only got 3 books with regard to woodwork 2 of which I don't use, & can't even remember the names, and the other one is 'the Lyle official ANTIQUES review 1979' (for the pictures) I think it may be worth updating my library/shelf. I have put the year in roman numerals on a few...

Mike, Mailee, John and Rod, Do you have any photos, it would be interesting see a selection and the sizes, and how prominent or hidden they are, also do you sign each piece, ie if it has multiple components, would you sign each drawer and door or just the one signature on the unit?

I think it means that you like cartoons :) and are a creative imaginative lateral thinker, :idea: or just as bonkers as me :!: What I see is very similar, Bot Left a Pig Face, Right Middle the windows logo, the gorilla looks like an early homer simpson, Top Left an angry Fuzzy Bear/Muppet...

It’s Amazing we are all still alive, considering all the everyday things that can kill you If you eat 7 bananas in one go it can kill you! If you drink 10 litres of water in 8 hours you can die! If you eat raw potatoes you can go into a coma or die! Death normally comes after a period of...

The fence on my table saw is parallel, although when cutting large or heavy stuff, I find the pressure exerted when cutting tends to make it un-parallel. I got over this by using a lump of wood with a birds mouth notch at one end, this sits on the other side of fence at the far end, and is...

I was gonna take some pics of various woods I have, but after seeing the pics from Jim, I think you've got it sorted, I dont have the Grains or the Photographic skills, those pics will look really slick on your website, here are the two I took anyway. Jim, fantastic pic's especially the...

What a find, looks great quality wise, nice cast iron and double bells and whistles, she should do you proud. I bought a 3 phase extractor with the same idea, but in the end the easy option was just to get a single phase motor made for it, but I am sure there will be somebody here that can help...

Yes I did underneath, everywhere but the little bit under the hinge on the back. Hardly needed any rubbing down, here they are all finished

Yes its one of the main factors, I assume as they used draw bore and no brace, they thought that glueing the panels might stop gates from dropping, but they have already dropped and there only a year old !

I think I've seen some of your work Furtree. I have found lost of stuff scribbled on the walls behind fitted units etc... usually just a name and the date, once I found an old news paper stuck to the wall with masking tape, I have to say that was probably the longest tea break I have ever...

Is it an Evil Gate? :twisted:

I like the way you got over the bottom rail dowel dilemma VERYGOOD :!:

No all you need is this You wouldn’t believe the amount of stuff I have whittled with that little beauty, just keep it sharp. Start simple by trying to copy something you have in front of you in 3 dimentions, not from a picture or drawing, and just practice a bit, learn how the grain of the...
