I did a bit of this years ago, and feel sure (absolutely certain, in fact) that I used a thixotropic contact adhesive, probably Timebond. As I remember it, although this glue is a contact adhesive, it allowed you to adjust the position of the veneer a little #provided# you hadn't pressed down at...

I'm using my record sabre 350 to cut some 50mm x 20mm section pieces of [old] oak to length, and wanting them square. Not much to ask, surely? (The blade isn't new, but it's cutting this stock without any issues. ) The blade guides are no more than about 75mm above the stock. one upper guide...

Long post:- I'm intending to build a glass fronted corner display case. I've done some woodworking from time to time but not done it frequently enough to really hone my skills. (I've read lots, though! :) ) Nevertheless I want to tackle this project. I have a good quantity of Oak which I can...

My old but trusty little P/T has jammed on a short piece of rough timber. I believe the cutter was still spinning until I switched off. [I did try switching on again - for a second - but the motor is now stalled.] I tried [both before and after turning off] to lower the bed ie open the amount of...

I had a pallet made of this, it was really rough before planing. it's dense, heavy. As you can see, parts have wild grain. I'm assuming that if it were oak, there would be more staining, but maybe it wasn't wet or old enough for the staining to have developed. I dunno. Any ideas, anyone?

Sorry if this is an FAQ. I'm drilling pilot holes in oak handrail with a 3mm bit. The bit is one set in a hex drive [to be quick change]. That is, until it stuck in the mopstick, and the actual drill bit came out of the hex drive part. I've tried tightening the chuck of my DEWalt on it and...

I've thrown out the previous softwood mopstick hand rail that runs up the steps to our front door. I have bought sanded but bare 45mm mopstick oak hand rail and stainless steel brackets. My default plan was to 'varnish ' the oak with a low build treatment, and have a tin of OSMO UV Protection...

I am currently making my first attempt at frame and panel doors. They will be used on the front of built-in cupboards, there will be 4, all the same. I have solid oak stiles and cross pieces being 90 mm and 110 mm respectively, and 19mm thick. I am making up the panels from thinner pieces of oak...

I see that Record Power will be at The Yandles Craft Show and that "There will also be exclusive show deals across the range of Record Power machinery and accessories." I was considering buying a bs350s, and wondered if anyone remembers A How much they tend to knock off the usual price, and...

That is what I'm trying to do at the moment. 110mm [4-5"] oak planks, <1m long, and about 20mm thick, and i'm tryig to get three out of each, c 5-6mm thick. I'm using a new 1/2" blade from Hamilton-Beaverstock [3 tpi] . A week ago the first plank went through OK, a bit of wander, but no real...

If you have the patience to follow me, I'd be very grateful! I am replacing rotten softwood mopstick outside done with poor joins (with 45mm diam oak with a 'flat' on the bottom for fixing the brackets) . The problem is that the rail is intended to change from sloping up to horizontal at the...
