Haven't been on here for ages so Hi everyone. Anyone know the difference between freud "pro" blades and the non pro versions. Prices are similar and the Freud website is not helpful. TIA John

Bought a cheap quartz clock movement a while ago and have been playing with designs for a clock to go on the mantelpiece. Tried a few designs and settled on this. Modeled and rendered in Fusion 360. Couple of hours in the workshop and made this prototype. Main body is Iroko and the feet a...

Been playing around with then design of a scraper plane in Fusion 360. The tote is horrible and needs a redesign but happy with the rest. John

I have been playing around with Fusion 360 CAD and this is a tool box I have been working on. Not my design but pinched off the web. Fusion includes rendering, I need to sort out the grain direction on some of the faces. Fusion is free for hobbyists and small companies (turnover up to $100,000).

I have been playing around with Fusion 360 CAD which is free for personal use. This video shows a bookcase design for manufacture on a CNC router. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZU_Jpyyc5M Don't know why it jumps to the middle of the video!! The software includes CAM and rendering as well...

Hi, I haven't posted here for ages but thought this was worth posting. I managed to drop my Lie Nielsen chisel plane and snap the thumb screw that clamps the blade a couple of weeks ago. After a few choice words I sent an email to them asking about the availability of a replacement as I...

I have recently been given a lovely hand made metal toolbox by my Aunt who has just celebrated her 100th birthday. A sad story as it belonged to her son who was killed in a motorbike accident in 1960 when he was only 18 and an apprentice at Lucas. It has been hidden away in a cupboard at her...

Tony PM'd me asking for details of the mods to my woodrat and I said I would post some details here. The mod is the addition of a pivoting plate under the router mounting plate. This allows the the cutting of dovetail pins without messing about removing the guide rails and fitting the button...

SWMBO grows a few herbs in pots on the kitchen windowsill and wanted a box to put them in to hide the pots. The raw material. Leaves from a drop leaf table that a neighbour gave me. maple or sycamore I think. Missed a few steps here. Sides thicknessed and cut to length, ends squared on a...

I have been asked to quote for a payment counter for a pub like the picture below. I intend to make it as 2 carcases from oak veneered MDF with solid oak tops. the back is open with adjustable shelves. I am not sure how to join the front vertical corners, not sure ho accurate I can cut mitres...

Just over a week ago I was making a wooden plane and was trimming the body to shape on the bandsaw. Just a quick cut so didn't bother to lower the upper guide bearings to just over the work, mistake!! At the end of cut I slipped and ran the back of my right hand into the blade!!! . A trip to...

Using My T5 in the woodrat at the weekend I noticed a lot of side to side play when plunging. Not noticed it before but the plunge was a bit sticky and if I grip the router tightly I can rock it from side to side. It's about 7 years old but has only had hobby use. Are there replaceable bushes...

I recently made some exterior doors from Sapele and had a fair bit left over so decided to make a small cabinet. It is 24" tall, 16" wide and 15" deep. The size mainly dictated by what timber I had. After planing/thicknessing and edge jointing I had this pile of bits. The panels were cut...
