    wooden bracelet

    Hi, I haven't post here for a while. Decided to make use of some ash and sapele off-cuts left from a flooring/parquet job and had the idea of making a bracelet (or indeed a set of bracelets) using a technique akin to segmented turning. I opted to make the bracelet oval instead of round since...

    file under gift boxes

    Haven't posted a project here for awhile, and yes, it's another another wedding gift box. Timbers: sapele (reclaimed) and olive. Inner size is roughly an A4 paper sheet. Sorry I dont have any WIP pictures. Tried to look professional and took the photos with a white sheet as background but I...

    felder f700 dimensions

    Hi. I need to know the exact table and metal stand dimensions for this spindle moulder. the reason is I have a very narrow doorway to my workshop and would like to know if the machine could fit in. I know felder states the minimum width for transportation is 800mm but I'm hoping that by...

    using epoxy

    Hi I recently had a fairly complex glue-up to do with some splined mitres among other joints and decided to go with epoxy adhesive. Since i've not found much first-hand information regarding the use of epoxy in regular woodworking projects i've decided to write down my (limited) experience...

    wooden tray

    Hi about 3 years ago I've pruned an old cherry tree and saved a branch about 1m long and 150mm diametre. clearly not big, but I thought it could be used for something after seasoning. I've resawed it with my bandsaw and stacked the planks. now time has come to see what it could be used for...

    yet another box

    Hello this is my first attempt at box making (not counting an aborted project dumped into the bin). it was a wedding gift and features the wedding initials carved on the lid. The box and lid are made of contrasting timbers: beech and sapele. small offcuts that I had laying around the workshop...

    sawing technique

    Hi all. This is a dumb question, but surprisingly I don't remember it being referred to anywhere. How do you follow a line when the waste side is such that you end up covering it with the saw? Let me rephrase. If you're right-handed how do you cut to the left of the marked line? a. Do you peek...

    3-phase motor slowing down

    I've powered an old 3phase planer/thicknesser through an inverter, one of those fancy units which convert 230V to 400V. It fires up ok, except for a little chatter in the starter, even the independent dual speed feed motor works. Takes about 10 sec to reach full speed but then runs smoothly, no...

    cooksley planer help

    Hi. I've managed to buy this bit of vintage british engineering. It was a little costly to send it to Portugal but I think it was worthy since it is in very good condition for its age. It's a Cooksley BPJ planer/thicknesser and it has very small footprint for its capacity (12"x9"). The tables...

    contour routing

    Hi. How would you rout along a curve without a ball bearing guided cutter? I don't mean a moulded edge but a groove (for instance) which is offset from the edge by a fixed distance. I know I could just make a template and use a guide bushing, but I was looking for a more straightforward way...

    joining thin boards

    hello all. I need to join some boards to make some panels with a thickness of 7mm. Due to some limitations in my timber supply I must use 3 or 4 boards to make up for the required panel width. I've glued up thin boards before but only in pairs and struggled a bit to keep them aligned and to...

    stile meets rail

    Hi all. I've always found the process of cuting mitres in moulded stile and rail joints very time consuming. As part of a cabinet I'm currently making I thought of documenting my process. Nothing really new here, it's basically an hand tool task. If I'me lucky I can finish one in about 15...

    chairs (AIP) - Update Dec 23

    Hi. I've started building a set of 6 chairs some couple of months ago. Been to lazy to take WIP shots, but finally decided to document the AIP (Assembing In Progress) stage. The chairs are made of ash I've sourced at a bargain price, but happened to have a lot of defects (some nasty hidden...

    my table saw is tripping the RCD

    Hi my table saw started tripping the RCD or earth leakage breaker (I think that's the correct term) every time I try to turn it on. I've checked the switch and motor connections but cannot find any damage in the wires. What can I do? Is there a routine test to determine what is causing the...

    dimensions of the record c26 combi

    Hi, Could any owner of such a machine give me its cabinet dimensions ? I believe this machine is the same as the minimax c26 genius and I'd like to know if it could go through a 650 mm wide door by disassambling the tables. many thanks.

    kity 619: what's the catch?

    I've been looking at a new tablesaw and I'm seriously considering the kity 619: - it can cope with a 280mm blade - has more output power than a regular 10" TS - comes with a 2m sliding carriage - has a fold down right wing extension which is good for my limited size workshop all this for about...

    how was this made?

    4 sliding dovetails holding the boxwood insert in this fillister plane. super tight fit. 19th century planemakers certainly had some kind of production facility (ie jigs) for doing this and cnc wasn't an option. [/img]

    My workbench

    Hi all, Just found these pictures I took of my workbench about 1 and half years ago when I finished it. It's made out of softwood. Not a very wise choice for a bench but I just felt using hardwood would be a waste and would increase the cost threefold or more. The top is made of laminated...

    is jet discontinuing the jts-250 tablesaw?

    Hi, I've browsed the new Jet catalogue for 2009 (http://www.wmhtoolgroup.ch/user_content/editor/files/Katalog%20Holz%202009%20englisch/holz-katalog09_en_low-09.pdf) and the jts-250 is not there. I reckon that this catalogue does not apply to the US, since they have a different product line but...
