    A busy weekend milling Oak.

    A fews years ago I was given some freshly felled Oak trees which I had converted to planks. The planks have been stacked in my dry store and my garage and this weekend I decided to take a few boards and machine them for some final drying. I posted details back when I milled the logs, but I...

    Wood gloat part 2 - Stacking (Pictures)

    After my recent milling session today I started to sort and stack the planks and get rid of some of the waste. Jonathan (aka JMC67) helped me cut up some of the off cuts and took it away for fire wood. My Dad turned up and took some more and helped me with the stacking. I set up my flip saw...

    Wood gloat (with pictures).

    I see so many good tool gloats in these pages I thought I'd get my own back with a wood gloat. Is this a first? Some weeks ago you may recall me seeking recommendations for a mobile bandsaw mill to convert 6 oak trunks I'd been given. Here's a little freshener.. Today we got round to...

    Tiny Table - WIP (Pictures...!)

    Hi All My mum came round last sunday and said "can you make me a lamp table? The measurements are 22 inches high and 9 inches square and I'd like a shelf to put the phone on.". The first word that entered my head was 'topple'. Basically, there is a small gap next to her sofa and she wants to...

    Axminster CT1502 jointer/planer (pictures...!)

    I’ve been contemplating buying a bigger jointer for some time as my small bench top one often comes up short (literally) on what I need. The Jet 200mm would be very nice, but in a hobbyist workshop I couldn’t justify the price and hence the Axminster CT1502 150mm was the only real contender...

    Logs for milling - Guildford area.

    Hi All I have access to these Oak trunks cut within the last 2 weeks. Sorry for the quality of the photos (I grabbed them from a video) but I think they serve the purpose. There are 6 logs about 7-8ft long and range from about 20-30 inches across. They look very solid and well worth the...

    Which Glue?

    Hi Fellow Primates I'm going to make a lazy Susan for the garden table. All very simple, just disk of Iroko sitting on top of a lazy Susan bearing available from Axminster. However, it going to get wet very often so which glue? Is water proof PVA or Tight Bond 3 really waterproof? Or do I...

    Should I buy an Ax CT1503 Planer?

    Hi All I'm trying to decide if I should buy a CT1503 Planer. Currently I have a small bench top SIP planer but it's is a pain to get and keep true and it really isn't big enough. I like to buy sawn timber and think a bigger planer to compliment my DW733 is a worthwhile purchase. However, I...

    Bed build WIP (Completed.)

    I’m building a bed for my daughter. Here’s the story so far and I’ll add more as I go. The design is fairly simple as this 2D sketch shows (I need to get up to speed with Sketch-up….!). I’ve chosen Oak. This was the first opportunity for me to use my new thicknesser in anger. … a quick...

    Is it possible to get zero snipe?

    I've just taken delivery of my first ever thicknesser. A DW733. I've spent a couple of hours playing around setting the in-feed and out-feed tables and I've not been able to eliminate snipe completely. In fact, I think it has remained completely the same regardless of my tinkerings. Here's...

    Jons workshop (pictures...!)

    Finding the time to do as much woodworking as I would like is difficult and even when I do it’s virtually impossible to find the time to submit a decent post. I enjoy reading about other people exploits and in particular the workshop build threads have been immensely helpful to me over the last...

    Which saw blades?

    Hi All I've owned a TS2500Ci for a few months and wonder if the general forum advice is to purchase a new blade(s). If so, which one(s). I'm generally cutting across and along the grain on hard and softwoods and also cutting ply and veneered MDF. The standard blade tends to tear out quite a...
