Is it normal to bespoke fit/adjust the bevel on the bottom rail of a Sliding sash window, where it meets the angle of the Cill? I had expected they (joinery co) would have bevelled the lower rail, as per the old windows, but the lower rail is flat (90 degree). Apparently I need to do this on a...

Hello, I am looking to finish some birch ply cabinets at some point in the near future. Ideally I would like to achieve a similar finish to the pic below. I will leave the edges bare too. Should I go for shellac sanding sealer, then Briwax, or would that turn splotchy on birch? Any...

Hello, I have an old ikea desk, the top has become warped, down to me storing the top upright for some months. I have the same desk as in the picture, save for all the guff on top. The desk has unsupported overhangs, of 20cm each side, with a total width of 80cm. I want to get a new (flat)...

Ok, this design is a little bit Heath Robinson I guess, but needs must. I neither have the funds or the space for a large TS. I want to expand the size of my table space, and have designed in extensions that are removable and adjustable. The legs will fold into the base, to make it easier to...

Having only just recently bought a TS, I am still reading around trying to learn as much as possible before trying out anything complex. I happened by chance to read a thread in the Jigs section about re-sawing on a TS, and was really glad I had! I suspect otherwise I could have done something...

I wanted to ask those that know better, if my proposed construction method for some ply boxes is reasonable. I plan to make a few different pieces of furniture around this basic box, either by adding shelves and/or doors, so this is just the basic carcass. It would be 800 x 800 x 400 mm, from...

I'm new to this whole word working thing, though I am spending a lot time researching what to buy. Mainly trying to find the right table saw for my needs at the moment. I am pretty much set on buying a 2nd hand Triton 2000 WC if I can get one at a good price. At the moment I invisage creating...
