    Shop made secondary glazing.

    I am considering a project to make secondary glazing panels to insert between mullions in my bay window. the plan is to make frames with a 4- 6mm wide 15mm deep rebate routed out to take the glass. I want the overall thickness of the frame to be approx 15-18mm ; width around 25. I will fix...

    Luthier Tools

    Totally agree that you should buy what you need when you need it. I really enjoy making tools, so I made my own spool clamps. I also made my own bending iron, and other bits and bobs. I was going to make some cam clamps, but feel you can’t beat Klemsia (?) clamps. I really don’t think you can...

    Suizan, Hachiemon or other Japanese flush cut saw?

    It was all very predictable. Feeling tired at the end of the day. Thinking, this is a very awkward, need to be very careful. Then the laws of physics and stupidity came into play and ouch! on the positive side - the saw has zero set and 0.5mm kerf, so it was nice clean cut and it should heal...

    Suizan, Hachiemon or other Japanese flush cut saw?

    Hi AJS this is not the saw for what you are looking for. The blade is so thin and flexible that it will be hard to keep it true. I am sure it could do the task you describe, but maybe not as easily as you expect. Also, note these saws are very sharp. I know to my cost as I managed to slice...

    So I have just bought the Gyokucho 1151 with the 5” blade on Amazon, selling for only £16.50. can’t really go far wrong at that price.

    Stair rail joint advice

    All I thought you might like to see the finished staircase. Obviously Still needs a few finishing touches and a few coats of French polish. Thanks again for your help.

    Suizan, Hachiemon or other Japanese flush cut saw?

    Hi folks, I am looking for a flexible flush cut saw and have seen these two makes on Amazon. Does anyone have any experience of them? also thought about the Stanley, but it’s blade doesn’t seem to flex. I don’t want to spend that much, but £20 seems to be the going rate for them. cheers Steve

    Stair rail joint advice

    I will try and find out - not sure that would make it any easier would it, or do you think it would give you a little more wriggle room?

    Stair rail joint advice

    Thanks for the responses - not too late as this is still work-in-progress. I have all the parts made, except for the spindles - which I am taking forever on! Unfortunately, rogxwhit, I have already had the rails made - so missed the chance to make them in the square. Now that they have been...

    Teknatool Nova 3000 electrical problem

    Hi Phil did you get it sorted? I have the 1642 version- Record used to sell. Have you tried their technical department? I have built a few guitar amps over the years and repaired a couple. I am not promising anything, but if all else fails we could troubleshoot the problem together. We...

    Stair rail joint advice

    Hi folks, I am scratching my head about whether I can cut the joint on hand rail to a rotated newel post using machines, or whether it will need to be hand cut. see photos. The newels are on an angle, so the joint will need a to sit at around 42 degrees from the vertical, but also have a V slot...

    How to describe this oak finish

    There has obviously been a lot of work to “pattern match” the veneer.

    How to describe this oak finish

    I wondered if it has been stained before the bandsaw marks have been sanded leaving the stained lines. I am still trying to work out if I like it!

    Trend T4 as pin router?

    Hi folks Happy New Year! occasionally, I need a pin router. I make guitars and it would be useful sometimes to have an overhead router, rather than use the router table. I have a DM26 drill stand with a 43mm collar. I have been thinking I could probably rig something acceptable up using a...

    Does Builder need permission to connect new house to sewer on my land?

    @Jackbequick This is not the place to give legal advice and if you look at my post, it was not my intention to give advice, least of all tax advice. Good luck!
