    Sleigh bed design issue

    I was thinking of a sleigh bed. Looking at all the retail beds it seems they generally are a bit of a con in that the bed head/tail board is actually a straight piece with wither a curved board on top (or effectively melded to a pole on top). This sort of implies the "sleigh effect" if you see...

    have you heard of saw stop?

    Hi all, I suspect the "dropping" away of the blade is to cater for the momentum of the blade. i.e. the spinning blade is stopped by the Aluminium but the blade then "wants" to roll off causing an impulse vector through the shaft. The direction is downwards thus the blade dips away. Is it not...

    Hi all, maybe I am just thick here :?: , but the previous post just confuses a newbie. So if I just bought the GlassStones the I would be fine and not need the expensive lapping plate? As I read what you stated that should be it. You do not need to or expect to flatten these. Then why the...

    Shapton GlassStone

    Hi there, excuse me for being thick here. So I take it that the GlassStones are a range of stones that are analogous to ordinary stones and the Glass Diamond Lapping Plate is required in addition to the GlassStones. I amongst others was under the impression the two items are for two...

    Where can I get veneered plyboard -12 mm or more

    Thanks for the info. It seems that MDF is the better way to go however the price is the additional mass vs plywood. Maybe I need to rethink my design to alleviate 500kg cupboards! :shock: Appreciated.
