I'm looking for a Planer thicknesser in 240v , capable of 260mm wide x 180mm thicknessing min. Ideally in the north but if you will put on pallet I'd buy from anywhere. Thank you

Just applied the finish to the last of the Elm I had, liking the colours and grain. Sold the bench I last posted and customer has asked for a console to be made after seeing the live edge coffee table I also posted pics of. Need to find some more Elm :wink:

Finished this today, was going to sculpt the top maloof style but top was not thick enough IMO and could not get the length I wanted either :roll: Still came out well methinks and wood is super coloured and grained like last few items I've posted.

Looking for help on what to use to scoop out the top of a chair ala maloof type thing. Have an angle grinder but have no idea what to buy to attach to it to use. Dont want something too expensive as it'll probably be a one off item. Dont want to do it with hand tools for various reasons Thanks...

Made this yesterday, went to fit barrel hinges today but dont quite work so abandoned that and will fit butt type when I pick some small ones up. Door has live edge on one side and pics hard to take in lighting. Got sample of new oil system to try on it, will report back on that to see if better...

Been 7 or 8 years since I made anything with wood for various reasons but have now secured use of a workshop so having another try. First step, wood, picked up some air dried Elm and let it dry out, was super cheap but dont think I'll do it again as it cups and twists even in stick. Should...

Moisture Meter Recommendation ? anyone have one which is not too expensive that works? Just bought some air dried Wych Elm and want to know how wet it is. Planks cut from a dead tree, looked very like kiln dried I've bought in the past, waney both edges, got about 8 cube for £95 :D Lots of...

Anyone able to recommend a pallet delivery company who is cheap and good? Just bought a saw from another forum member and its too far away to drive to to pick up. Help appreciated :wink:

I have a problem with a Triton TRB001 Router and seem to remember a Guy "Ray" used to be able to help with solving problems but dont know if he visits any longer. Anyhow the problem is that the collet screws into another mounting which is screwed onto the motor shaft. That mounting is now loose...

Just letting you be aware before you part with any of the hard earned pennies about the problems I've had with buying a Festool TS55R the new one ! Got it home and noticed that the scale was not lining up with the zero point even though the saw cut perfect 90 degrees. So how do you set the saw...

Was going to post this in the sale wanted section but thought it may not be noticed, if its not allowed then My apologies ! I want to buy a bowl, platter or something which must be made from Burr. Species/ Colour is not important, only that it is burr. Nothing too small like an egg cup etc but...

Ignore this post now! I'm hoping somebody close to me in St Albans or reasonable driving distance, would not mind doing me a favour ? I have 4 Ash table legs which I'm trying to remove the wax finish from and have sanded all the flat tops to bare wood. Trying to sand the rounded parts is a...

I just picked up the Ebony knobs that were made for me by Richard Findley who posts on the forum and fitted them to the items I made a few weeks back, I said I'd post pics' for him. I had a wee go myself at the spinny stuff but it made me appreciate how good he is, and nice bloke too. If you...

Just picked up some Ripple Sycamore today, 1st time I've bought any so was not sure how much ripple to expect. This also made me a little cautious about how much to buy so only bought 4 boards 9ft x 11"x 1.25". Was so eager to see what was hidden underneath the saw marks so gave a quick scrub...

I'm not the knob by the way :roll: but want to have a go at making some turned knobs and dont have any space for a big lathe. Anyone got anything I can buy for this purpose or suggest one I can keep an eye out for on the bay etc? Obviously dont want to spend much as I have not turned anything...

I have had this little Draper benchtop tablesaw for years, never really used it and its taking up valuable space. Have lost the mitre gauge but it still has the rip fence poor though it is ! Anyway thought I'd offer it for free here, perhaps a £10 donation to charity?, rather than take it to the...

Thought this video of a beautiful IMO sculpted chair would be interesting for you all. Some scary tools used and very "interesting" technique using a chisel I couldn't figure out how to embed the video link direct so just click the link below. http://www.fastcompany.com/1607452/chai ... ence-video

This was made from some already squared up left over 2" Ash and a walnut stretcher. The top had a big knot with a hole right through it so I filled that with an square inlay of veneer then continued to make a little pattern as it looked a bit odd on its own. I was also still recovering from...

Been a long time since I posted anything, for lots of reasons, one being a fight with the planer thicknesser which I lost! Pics available to the forum if anyone wants a lesson in being careful and not working when tired. Anyway been busy making some stuff with ABW and Maple and nearing...
