Yes please, I would like a copy of the STL file as well.

Thank you all for the detailed responses and sound advice. The gates are very heavy and this probably has made the split worse than just normal weathering. This was why I was concerned with the posts having such wide splits. The other posts around the property have some splits but not so...

Hi Mark, Many thanks for your quick and helpful response. I had thought that resin or glue and sawdust could be solutions but was worried that these might not work if the wood moves again. Using the stainless steel bands would reduce this potential issue. I'm not sure about the capping piece...

Please could anyone kindly advise me what to do about the splits in some gate posts which seem to have stabilised but could allow water to enter into the centre of the post. Many thanks for any advice you can give. David

Many thanks for all of the suggestions and precautions which I will experiment with. All the suggestions has merit on what is a tricky situation with limited space to fix the cupholders onto the boat. @joshvegas This is a clever idea which if the dovetail cleat is tapered would reduce the...

Bump. Any ideas would be really appreciate. Many thanks. David

I am looking for advice as I have been asked to make some Wine Cupholders to attach to the sides of a 1930's River Thames Slipper Launch. Ideally these would not alter the boat but it would be okay to use Insert Nuts underneath the rim as these would not be visible once removed. The boat rim...

@scooby I think I understand and will try that approach as well.

Many thanks.for your replies. @AJB Temple, I have the PESQW and adjusted to get a 90 degree but this was trial and error and I lost quite a lot of iron. I thought that the aluminium backing plate was not well made and could introduce other errors. In principle this should not be the answer...

Late to the party but I have the Sorby Pro Edge which seems to require the DIY shims as getting plane irons square is not easy. Turning tools were brilliant in contrast. Please could you explain or show how the DIY shims can be made and fitted.

Many thanks for the encouragement everyone. Spreadsheet ditched until I’ve used paper and pen and made a few boxes. I will also persevere with cutting dovetails by hand. The LS Positioner and spreadsheet will be used for cutting the more complex dovetails such as the Double Dovetail Corner...

Agreed the Incra LS Positioner is an expensive toy but the precision it gives has to be admired. My attempts at hand cut dovetails have also been expensive in wasted wood 🤔 Hopefully, I will be able to show the use of the LS Positioner in a Project and give an honest review. One criticism is...

Many thanks for all the quick and helpful responses and links. I‘ve tried to cut dovetails by hand but with mixed results. Those cut by experienced craftsmen such as Rob Cosman are very good so I will keep on trying. In the meantime, the Incra LS Positioner should enable me to produce better...

I wish to make a variety of boxes using mahogany and other hardwoods. I have written a Golden Ratio spreadsheet calculator to assist me in selecting the Height, Width and Length of the boxes I wish to make. This takes into account the material lost using different joint types (e.g. through...

Matt, Just to say a big thank you for helping my son with the pick up of the timber. Quite a range of good material to work with which is much appreciated and will keep me busy for quite a while. All the best, Dave Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would be able to take the full amount. I need to check with my son who lives in Cheltenham to see when he could collect it during the week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I would like the Incra T-Rule if this is still available. I will send a PM. Many thanks, David Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

As a relative newcomer to woodworking with a few Festool tools, I like new channel called The Woodgrafter. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-37W ... vbNM6cwcTA My dilemma is that I feel compelled to buy more top range equipment! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Gary, If the Dewalt plunge saw and rails are still on offer I would purchase them from you. Similarly the Bessey clamps. Many thanks, David Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks Matt. I'm sure I will put it too good use initially on projects for my grandchildren, children, wife and eventually for myself! Good luck on the workshop re-layout. David Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
