Is it dangerous?

I have an old hobbiest lures spindle moulder. It works ok but hums when powered from the socket and not running. It is braked and I looked in the switch box to see if some was wrong but the wiring is too complicated for me it does have a small capacitor in the switch box. Just wondering if...

What is the best way to repair this chair leg. It has broken where a new bit has been sliced on

Thanks for the reply, what would you use for the panel..marine ply? I’m a bit worried about rebate depths due to different thickness of the glass and panel. I was also thinking of Mouldings on the inside and beads on the outside to hold glass and panel?

Hi, I’ve been asked to make a pair of external doors for an office/outbuilding. im not sure what thickness glass or panel material to use. Also my stock is 45mm thick. thanks

Hi, I’ve had a closer look and there seem to be some interesting joints the same on both sides. Whether this is a repair I don’t know. I think I coul be original because the rake angle is quite big on the back. Joint is not that clean either. It’s a tenon not a dowel in the top.

Not sure how to repair this chair.

I'm thinking of pre drilling then nailing the boards but should I allow the tops to float in the rebate of get a fixing into the middle rail. So I guess there is no point in gluing any of the t&g? I'm wondering whether I can take a bit of the tenon for wedges on the rails or just enlarge the...

Ive made this oak gate..reluctantly, as I'm not sure how the wood will move outside. I'm not sure how to fix the t &g boards which are rebated into the frame and obviously sit on the bottom rail. Also should I leave a expansion gap between the boards?

I'm going to resin this - west system.

Thanks for the replies. My other thought was to turn a block on the lathe so the dowel was part of the block or would this create a weak point?

Ok sorry, should have proof read before posting. It's an arm chair with square shaped castors and the lag has broken right below the shoulder of the castor seat. Will post a picture soon

Need to repair a chair. The leg has broken at the castor - the is still intact. WD thinking of cutting the shoulder flush and dowelling a new block on.

The second photo shows the half nut and Spring. The vice no. Is 674409 no.52 would be interesting to see the original Spring, set up. I'm pretty sure there's not enough tension in the spring and this is causing the thread to ride over. However, there is quite a big slot in the half nut for the...

Thanks for your reply. When I tighten the half nut pushes down and then jumps the thread ...spring tension I guess? The spring is in the half nut shaft and not in the front mount. I've not seen this type before.

Trying to revive this old vice looks like an early one. It won't tighten and just slips. I've tried in different locations but still slips. I think there may be something wrong where the half nit is located . Any thoughts?f

had one of these for some time which i picked upoat a carboot sale. however itsa missing the fence guide. seen replacement guide kit on internet. would this fit an old one?

Eventually had time to make this music stand.

Been asked to make a piano stool ( no adjustment necessary) to fit a upholstered seat which will sit within the frame. Gonna mortise the rails into the legs then rebate the frame to accommodate the seat. So I had a go at some offset turning and made these cabriole legs ..one to go! I want to...
