    Need a really simple gauge making up.

    As close to 17.00mm as possible would be nice (over size rather then under size will be preferred). My vernier is cheap and nasty and in the real world could be millimeters out of whack. Who cares? I look for repeatable measurements that are constant over the parts I'm making. Outside of that...

    Need a really simple gauge making up.

    Hi I like to try to get the wood to 17.15mm but it has to be an average over a few boards. With regard to use it will be wider then the vernier and give me an easier way to check the over dimensions of the joints. I would just adjust all the tools to work around this if there is any discrepanc.

    Need a really simple gauge making up.

    Hi ChaiLatte. Yes the corners could be cut with up to a 1/4" bit if that's easier. I need the main body of the gauge to test Female and the notch to test male parts so 17mm is quite important.

    Need a really simple gauge making up.

    Hello. I’m looking for someone that can make up a simple gauge for me (please see attached). I’m after a piece of alloy, something that will not rust or mark bare wood made from round bar. The diameter of the bar is not critical but some where in the region of 75mm would be good. I need it...

    Priming a briquette press hydraulic system.

    Hi GM The problem was the pump was empty and the pump is the highest part of the system. Anyway the manufacturers got back to me with a really hi-tec answer pour oil in the intake pipe so I took the pipe off the tank turned the pipe upside down and pored oil in with a quick start stop of the...

    Priming a briquette press hydraulic system.

    Hi Ian. I have a small shop but still in one sitting I can produce 4 bags of shavings. It didn't take long to figure out getting rid of the shavings was going to be a bl***y nightmare. At £50 a ton to dump at the local tip and only 1/4 of that needed to fill the van to the gunnels. Nobody who...

    First cut in Willow Burl

    Hi Ian No twigs looks like it could be good 👍 only have a 6” plainer so ld have to take some chunks off it first. Ive never seen a framed re-saw before. Any idea where one might find one of those? A quick internet search revelled a lot of bandsaws and re-sawn boards. Cheers G.

    First cut in Willow Burl

    Hey folks. Can anyone advise on the best way to attack this lump of burl. I don’t have a bandsaw big enough but I may be able to get a yard close to me to help for a small donation. I do have a chainsaw large enough as well as sharp handsaws. I’m unsure of the best way to start cutting it. l...

    Unsorted grade Redwood or maybe not.

    The boards in that photo are much better. The quantity of boards full of knots I was getting per m3 back then was less. I dragged some old (before COVID) 6” boards out of my pile last week and they were pretty good as well. Fingers crossed when the demand drops down a bit the quality will go...
