    Seasoning Holly

    Holly is wonderful to carve green, one of my favorites for spoons. But it can crack and split easily

    Plywood laminated work bench

    I was given an Oak Table but as it had been left outside the top had gone so i used the frame with some stiffners and laminated 4 layers of 3/4 ply for the top. Rock solid, stable and used for everything every day. Being very sad on the day i put it in the workshop I levelled the top in both...

    Dowel jig

    I have in the past made lengths of dowel by drilling out a suitably sized nut to the diameter required. Then cutting six slots with a triangular file into the face of the nut. I prepare the dowel in much the same way as with a dowel plate, but I put one end into a drill and drive the length of...

Just like philly I make the box and fit the lid to it once finished. then drill the holes and open the holes in the lid up just a fraction maybe 0.1mm. I then push some wax into the holes in the lid. Being a sad git I like...

    GWW bench article

    Why as you have already said the iron in the plane will see off the ally anyway. Even a stanley iron will cut ally!!! You are forgetting the kiss principle and making something very simple into something complex.

    Public Liability insurance

    Do you intend the insurance for selling or are you looking company liability insurance. If the latter then 350 might not be too bad, but if it is simply public liability in case someone trips over on your stall then 50 quid is resonable. Try direct line my wife pays under 50 for stall selling...

    Small Kasa in Holly

    Lurker you have to slow the drying down, the first one of these split like crazy, this one has distorted a little. But I kept this one in a zip lock plastic bag when I was not working on it. I allowed it to dry slowly and gently over a few weeks. Holly can be a pain for splitting

    Small Kasa in Holly

    Saw blade and mitre slot misalignment question

    Robb yes DTI's can be a bit fiddly, but there is no reason why you should not get a very close alignment. Have you checked that the fence is straight? The ends may be parallel to the mitre slot, if measured as some suggect by checking each end, I prefer to check along the full length of the...

    Saw blade and mitre slot misalignment question

    Mmm I disagree. I would check to see how flat the blade is first, Then how much error I could induce with the set up for clocking the blade. The try to eradicate those errors as much as possible. Once you have all the figures you will then have an idea of the run out of the mitre slot to the...
