Hope someone can help with this. I’m half way through making some sapele gates for the side of my house. Frames are all put together and now it’s time to board them up with v-notched t&g boards (in sapele). Boards are to run vertically and there will be ten on each gate, approx. 85mm wide. The...

.... if I were to make the missing bowl rest assembly for my Tyma Cub lathe out of wood? I'm not so much talking about the tool rest and the tool rest clamp (as I can use the existing ones the sits on the lathe bed) but rather the bar that connects to the lathe chassis and the right angled...

My first posting here. I'm an antique furniture restorer and french polisher by trade and I've also done a fair bit of cabinet making in my time. Untill recently I had the large cast iron router table that's sold under various badges: Record, Axminster, CMT etc. I liked the table but decided...
