Or, have a matching gap in the darker inset piece, on the vertical plane. Might work.

I really like that, definitely not your run of the mill front door. Is that your own design? Is that a wireless doorbell? I'm guessing the wee panel at the back is removable for access to change batteries. Well cool, you must be chuffed with that.

The joining bolts are 150mm long, so half and half in the male and female sides of the join. The male part of the joint protrudes 30mm into the female side, at least that's the dimension on my jig. I don't think it matters as long as the two sides mirror each other but I'd be interested to hear...

I've had a couple of the "Teng" setups similar to the ones you are looking at. As Chris says, there are several incarnations of the same cabinets, minor differences at most. I've had mine for the last 25 years or so, one set in the workshop and and the other on the road with me at weekends...

Stressless chair and footstool here too, in the kitchen so I can be near the source of baking and cups of tea. Really comfy, I'd thoroughly recommend them.

It is surprising how strong a join you get with brazing. Motorcycle and bicycle frames were often brazed together, just one example that I know of. I brazed together a broken quick release spring on a vice years ago and that's still going strong. That said, it might not be too hard to make a...

I knew this would happen, bought an Axminster 106 a fortnight or so ago when I didn't hear back from you. Impatience on my part, as usual, sorry. Can you pm me a phone number because if I can shift my one I'd still be interested in yours? I fancied the Jet because of the one piece top and it...

The one that's already off is the left hand thread, the remaining one will be conventional I'd have thought. Heat and a spanner on the spindle flats, as already said, should do the trick. I'd be wary of putting too much heat near the stone, I'm not sure if those behave like concrete when heated...

I bought a pull saw from the Japanese chaps, very friendly, polite crew. Wasn't really tempted by anything else although it was good to see the different marques side by side and compare them. What I often thought of as "badge engineering" isn't always that simple. There are quite a lot of cost...

I picked up the dust extractor motor from Kevin this afternoon. A proper gentleman with a lovely wife and a flat out busy life. Many thanks Kevin, a pleasure meeting you. Hugh.

Heading off in half an hour, staying in Wetherby, show tomorrow, Chester zoo on Saturday, home on Sunday or maybe Monday. I was going to be looking for a new planer/thicknesser but a few hours after I bought tickets and booked a hotel, a second hand, like new 106 Axminster turned up on Gumtree...

Both messages replied to but if there's still a problem just let me know here and we'll sort something out. Cheers HS

I'll take the dust extractor if you're happy to hang on to it until I come down to Harrogate on the 14th of this month?

A track saw would definitely be a good investment. I've recently been converted and I wonder why I didn't do it years ago. A very versatile, portable tool that you'll use for loads of things apart from " breaking down sheet goods" as our American friends say. I bought a Makita one and am in...

Is this still available?

Thanks for that, I'll give the gouge thing a go and see how it turns out. That sounds do-able and I've got loads of wood to experiment with. There aren't loads of holes and they're all either on the edge or back of the frame, where the nails were driven in at an angle through the tongue on the...

I'm making a face frame kitchen with reclaimed maple flooring and wondered how best to fill the nail holes in the boards so that once everything is varnished the holes are as invisible as possible. I've only really used filler in a tube sort of stuff previously and it always seems to be hit or...

That makes sense, they're usually very good to deal with in my experience so shouldn't be a problem. If you're anywhere near Inverness and need a hand with it then just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

If you look at the back of the motor down near the rubber foot, there's a small black rounded cover on the side held on with a couple of bolts. The capacitor is under there and the rating is usually written on the side of them. Loads of them on eBay, the only thing you may have to do is change...

I've not worked with one of these but is it possible that the impeller/s are fitted upside down or that the motor is running backwards?
