But was your response actually relevant to the question. Could you not have given insight on the machines he's researched and said what machines you have in your workshop and whether you could recommend them?

I can't fault Sebastian here. This started to go in the right direction with people interacting on what was asked then it went back to where it started, TheTiddles and Droog did you not read the earlier posts? All that information is clearly known by the OP and if it weren't then he's shown he's...

I'm no spark, but I've done my fair share of rewiring etc. So please take the following as my understanding, liable to be corrected by someone more experienced/qualified. I've had a quick google and it does look that 32A charger points for cars go on a 40A breaker and that would be really good...

Hopefully the router set up you've attached will come through. This is fact and not my opinion: that router table is better than anything you or anyone else can make themselves. I thought about buying it myself. The only reason I didn't is because I don't have the space in my garage for a...

Hey Sebastian, just quoting a post at random to reply to you. First of all, well done for staying patient for so long I read the start of the thread this morning over breakfast and I would have snapped at that point but didn't have time. By the time I got in from golf it's just become...

I put actual formica on my router table, it was pricier than the alternatives but I felt it could be one of those things where you regret not paying the extra when you're sat there with your pond tubing trying not to get the whole thing to stick at once. I have enough trouble with screen...

No it shouldn't go on both sides, MRMDF would work out a bit cheaper given that you are laminating it anyway - it would be my choice. You can buy 8x4 MFT style replacement tops out of MDF for around £100 each on ebay that might be worth looking at because then the worksurface is somewhat more useful

Formica

That teaches me for having an idea!

I don't agree with needing a different one with stock size but you would need a different dovetail guide for each cutter, which would be replaceable on the jig via a tslot or slot and insert nut system. I'm intrigued by who has more than one or two dovetail bits in the first place?

you could have the sled back angle adjustable with a positive stop, so that cutting the tails is 90 degrees to the direction of travel of the sled and then cutting the pins, you are at the required angle for your dovetail cutter. Probably the most finicky part of the set up of the jig in the...

No sorry not like that, I don't really get where the value is in his jig as he's still having to mark out, I'm talking about a production jig where you use a dovetail cutter and only have to measure the distance between pins once and the starting position once. There are quite a few similar...

unreal, they're incredible! They'll also pay for themselves within the month I bet, with people that'll see them and ask for something similar for their house - just had the same with my garage doors which aren't nearly on the same level as these

I thought of what I think is a great idea, but because I think it's a great idea I imagine someone has done it before You know you get those box joint jigs? They tend to make them in the US for table saws with a dado stack but also made for the router table. These are relatively easy to make as...

I'm not sure actually, I'll ask my sister if it's weird for her. Our windows are reasonably difficult to see into unless it's dark out and the light's on inside The mattress is a good 400mm or so from the window as there's a window seat. I did tell her the day I made the window seat not to lean...

Apologies for being so late to reply, I wanted to reply with photos but I've really been prioritising other stuff over this one. It's not so much the glue up that I'm weary of, but the subsequent steps of sliding dovetails, breadboard ends, and the carved handle on the cheeseboard - none of...

Thank you for commenting, it's an issue that's been bugging me the radiator and it does seem I've made a mistake. My sister has never used the radiator so it stays off, it didn't occur to me that it could leak (or maybe it did and I just didn't want to think about the hassle!) It strikes me...

Before I start, I noticed that this particular WIP has not accrued any interest. If you happen to be stopping by, please leave a comment if you can - especially if you aren't so interested in this then I can tailor future posts accordingly I can't really remember how I left this back in...

About to start these tomorrow for a friend, while finishing the trim for my workshop doors (by finishing I meant starting) The specs are: Round cheeseboard with carved handle. 300mm diameter Carving board with breadboard ends, stainless steel meat spikes, juice grooves and ss handles...

I couldn't wait any longer to get started on the cross bracing this morning, so hoping the glue had set enough I set about marking out. I wanted to go for a right-angled cut that was pressure fit in place. I lay out the bracing piece across the door to judge the first right angle by eye which I...
