Mitre saw is far better tool and safer in this instance as you're no doubt removing guarding to use said sled.

Hey don't feel bad, we've all been there before. Making jigs that actually work accurately and efficiently nearly always require final fettling if not MK 2 version. Looking at your pic. Looks a nice jig but not sure how you plan on using it. Angle sleds on table saws are cumbersome and only...

Maybe keep it simple and get remote socket like a lot of us use. Velcro band round wrist and bit velcro on back remote attaches it to your wrist. Tap remote to fire vacuum before start the tablesaw and tap off on remote after tablesaw switches off. Works brilliant. Like this one on ebay...

Hi Keith. If its oak veneer bookcase you are after have a look at Ikea Billy oak veneer bookcases. They are proper oak veneer with finish that looks oiled. At £55 for 800mm x 2000mm, six shelves included plus you can buy extra shelves and further sizes available. I can't even buy material for...

Love it. You've got some serious skills to pull it off, I'm no where near that level. Keep seeing you guys making your own tools think that's got to be one of next years goals. Thanks for posting, definitely inspirational.

Ah. Cam action against a peg that press against blade to reduce vibration.

Wow Mike that's an amazing gift. My guess for peg sticking out the side is its wedge to hold another peg shaped wedge against blade to reduce vibration in the blade.

355 Snap. I'm a builder and hammer mine, works brilliant. Toolstaion do good selection of blades. I buy the smart 8 piece blade set when its on special, think pay around £18 https://www.toolstation.com/smart-multi ... set/p42538

Hi Lonsdale. Mine is the earlier dewalt grinder, DeWalt DCG412N 18v XR 125mm Angle Grinder Bare Unit. They now do brushless version. On 5aH batteries I still get descent amount time cutting awkward tiles or cutting off bit metal or stud with thin discs. Also use it for quick wall chase or...

DEwalt cordless grinder is brilliant. Its become one of those tools I don't go onsite without. Dewalts cordless osculating is another corker of tool, not quite as refined as fein but really cheap if got dewalt battery already .

I use tracksaw a lot when I'm oak framing, cutting similar 8"x8" beams. Cross cutting on table saw is do able but I'd choose tracksaw everytime. Few things to make safer/simpler. Never used tracksaw/plunge saw without track. Gang up beams so track has more support. If you can place beam before...

If it's still not running or running badly, loss power, motor heating up. It'll be run capacitor. Round plastic bit generally stuck on side of motor with wires coming out of it. With bandsaw unplugged check if its bulges or melted or smells. They're cheap to replace, £10 , just get same rates...

Or move hinge up. Need to re-drill cup hinge, fill old hole with two part and paint.

If you don't want your worktops cupping make sure you coat both sides of worktop. Under side best done before installation and at least 3 coats. Straight butt joint with worktop bolts and biscuits in long slots works best for 90' joint. Done loads including my own oak worktop all still good...

Thanks Rich for the sizing info. We have or use to have international timbers in Nottingham think it's Gibbs and Dandy now.

Good looking doors. Nice oak. What size oak sections did you start with and you supplied it? Job very well done Rich.

Butts. 3" and three of them if they're light pine moulded doors. They'll need the midway hinge to keep them from warping.

Hi Alan. I'm 25min from you and would definitely be interested in your offer. I do all sorts of bespoke builds, I'm busy with oak frame Orangerie at the mo. Could we arrange a meeting early next year? I'll pm my details shortly.

Few things. 11mm osb is to thin for roof covering unless you're going for garden shed felt and don't mind sagging. Edpm needs 18mm osb/ply supported at 600mm max rafter spacing. Excellent roof covering. Are you making webbed truss? otherwise 3x2 aren't big enough. Watch out for the reg that...

Looks very good Shultzy. Well done matey. =D> You must have a very wide kitchen to have a 3' cooker and two 800mm pan drawers either side. Now you know what your doing surely the office will be a walk in the park. :twisted:
