Hi Myfordman, Thanks for replying, I had already looked at the Peter Millard Vids he seems to be either using a Domino or dowls and I wouldn't trust the dowls as they are just going into the ends of the Ply and as it is large understairs drawers that I am planning they could just pull out over...

Hi Folks, I have seen a lot of UTube vids of the quarter-quarter technique and would really like to try it on a router table replicating a US dado type setup, but can't seem to find any info on a router bit that will do the drawer bases as well as the sides with the same bit:rolleyes:. Is this...

Cheers Ollie, as you say a bit pricy but interesting though!

I also just realised that the slot would probably be too deep for these type of windows, especially if there was a flipper slot as well. I really appreciate all the input on this though, as its helping to clarify my thoughts on it! :)(y)

Many thanks Ollie, I am familiar with this method and use it a lot on sash windows, the main downside is the rebate around the casements being 12mm wide or maybe only 10 in some places which I guess would mean the carrier coming right to the edge of the rebate rather than being sunk in a groove...

Many thanks, I had a look at them on Ironmongory direct and the info said that the clearance gap was min 5mm and Max 7.5 but I guess that is without the flipper groove? If that is the case then either one has to cut two lots of grooves or vary the depth of the flipper groove? Both of which could...

Yes, they open inwards and it is a listed building. I would have to rout the casements. Does anyone have much experience of doing this type of thing?

Hi folks I do a lot of sash window draught-proofing but don't have much experience of draught-proofing casement windows. The windows in question are very old, possibly Georgian, and so the rebates and gaps are probably going to be fairly varied. Has anyone tried retrofitting kerf seals if so how...

I am having a similar problem, I just got a new Festool sander and its really hard to fit my old Festool mini hose over it, all my other Festool tools have the old style fitting, any other suggestions out there?:dunno:

Cheers! I Cheers! I will if I get the job!

Many thanks, I had already seen that vid. Of course, this project will be smaller sized timbers. Still haven't decided whether to pursued the customer to stick with 3-inch oak:unsure:

Thanks so far folks, yes I have seen those postsavers, they look quite good. I've used plastic bin bags and gaffer tape in the past to good effect too I don't think saddle stones will go with the style. Any thought on the joints? also, I'm concerned that using 4-inch posts might make it look too...

Hi Folks Not having worked with green Oak very much I am looking for some advice on constructing a set of modern style green Oak pergolas to replace a customers set of existing structures in pine that have been up for apparently 20 years. (Please see photos). The existing timber is 75mm square...

Hi Folks, All sorted:)(y) many thanks for your help. I didn't spot it before because I only looked in the back of the manual at the troubleshooting guide and thought it was referring to the circuit breaker on my fuse box, not on the machine!:rolleyes:

Thanks, I'll check there is nothing jamming it also but don't think that's the case.

Hi Myfordman, It wouldn't start after a couple of days and there is nothing in the manual I'll try looking for a reset button /hole but am not that hopeful! :cautious:

Hi folks, I accidentally put a plank through my Triton planer thicknesser that was too thick:rolleyes: (i.e. it was taking off too much in one pass) it stopped before I could switch it off so I presumed it had overheated but now will not restart, any suggestions?

I have exactly the same problem as Alexc and would also like to find an MDF hinge with two single cranks. I cannot believe that there is not more choice out there. I make a lot of small cupboards for customers out of MDF and found the Lamello biscuit hinges ideal until they stopped making them...

I agree with that :roll: #-o but now I am planning a slightly longer term vision, I like the Idea of not having to worry about employment tribunals and the HMRC also 8) .

As people have discovered to there cost there is very grey area when it comes to employing subbys. As I am considering using them a lot more to grow my business, I am interested if anyone else has used or heard of this approach. I found this company called EEBS and they act as an intermediary...
