    For Sale Workshop tidy-up

    A few bits-n-pieces for anyone interested: Stanley No 50 Combination plane, complete even including the "spurs" - these can be seen attached to the main body and the "sliding section". The cutters are complete but in need of some TLC. The plane has seen little use and the box is in fair...

    Sold Incra Intelli-fence for router table

    I have been away from the Forum for some time for family reasons. After a recent house move I have re-discovered an Incra Intelli Fence that I have never used. So far as I can see it is only missing an adjustable stop - which I have fabricated (you can see this at the right hand end of the fence...

    Myford PR11

    I have just acquired a Myford PR11 planer - an interesting machine that I would like to fettle. I have e-mailed Myfords but apparently - the "old" Myfords did not include any PR11 manuals/parts lists etc when they were taken over a couple of years back by the present Myfords. Can anyone find...

    Internal door problem

    Here's the problem: A friend has a rather small room which, when a single bed is in place there is insufficient space to open a standard door. :roll: She has a standard ready-made door in place and has asked me to cut it vertically in half, then fabricate and fit two vertical frame pieces to...

    Gifts for Japan

    SWMBO (my Japanese wife) and me were booked to visit family in Japan last month, but after the disaster and with the threat of nuclear fallout still possible, we have postponed our trip. This week's makings are destined for our own home (first pic). I have also made two additional versions of...

    Help please - Japanese style wardrobe sliding doors

    Hi everyone, I originally posted this in the design thread - but that was probably the wrong place? I have agreed to build a fitted wardrobe - a fairly straightforward design, except SWMBO would like sliding Japanese-style full height doors. The doors are approximately 2100x900mm each and the...

    Christmas Pressie

    SWMBO is Japanese so I thought something with an Oriental feel might be a suitable Chrstmas Pressie. This has taken a while to make - using some fine quarter-sawn oak offcuts very kindly given by p111dom in Dunfermline - thanks Dom. :D :D The final piece is significantly different from the...

    Diesel question

    Hi all those car people. On starting from cold my diesel mis-fires for about 5-8 seconds, (emitting typical diesel blue smoke) then quickly runs cleanly on all 4. Apart from the above first starting problem, there is then no further mis-firing under any circumstances and no smoke either...

    Sampler - became a Dibber

    Continuing this huge learning curve on the round side, I have been experimenting with inlays. I cut three different sets of veneer inlays into a square spindle - then turned it to sample the results. :) After turning I was able to see how different layouts of inlay give different results...

    Advice - repair a finish

    I could do with some advice please. I have "acquired" this small hall unit - the top surface needs some attention (the rest of it is OK). I believe it is chipboard with a thin mahogany veneer maybe circa 80's? Before I do anything, what should I try? The damage looks like what I call...

    Cutting coarse threads

    Occasionally I need a piece of threaded rod (wood) when making up a (flat side :oops: ) jig. Not wanting to buy commercial thread cutters for use on my lathe, and not being able to find any shop-made jigs on t'Interweb I started from scratch. I made up a simple and sturdy frame that clamps...
