as a fellow felder owner, your floor must be dead flat, level and smooth. mine isn't and i cant move it without resetting everything. jeff

dont know where you're getting prices from, but if i have done my calculations correctly, you are looking for about 12linm of worktop. allowing wastage of 50% thats about 3 quarters of a cubic metre. even in england, you shouldn't pay more than 1500 quid for it waney edge. jeff

that is a very doable project in my opinion. keep the lengths at 2m and i would consider taking the cut and dimensioned stock to a machinist to face edge and thickness, as the but joint might be a bit tricky on a little planer. not impossible, with decent infeed/outfeed table extensions it...

if everyone, not just me, stopped asking permission for everything, what could they actually do? jeff

hi don, as hinging is an option on this design, i would imagine hinge selection would have been at the discression of the user. popular hinges for something like this would have been a piano hinge (posh) or a pair of simple lift off butt hinges, called paumelles here, or even simple flap...

still can't find a decent 2nd hand one. does anyone know what preciscion of concentricity is. apparently this is a major factor in price. as i understand it, could be wrong, it is the play in the spindle. a concencentricity of .01 mm would guarantee the drill hitting its centre within .01mm...

hi jon, what are you doing to the edge detail? you could make an oak grooved frame to go on top and sides, which would only need to be fixed by a coach bolt at the bottom of each side. the groove being wide enough to take the t&g as well. if there was room i would do all four sides m&t'd, no...

another thing to remember, different material densities absorb different sound wavelengths. i'm going with cavity fill, medium fibre board like multiplex, osb and fermacell. on a bridged stud construction for the walls. havn't worked out the ceiling yet. jeff

thanks jacob, but i can't see any additional ingredients listed. does the boiling create the hardners from existing mollecular compunds in the oil? jeff

it doesn't have to be a slider, but i use mine all the time too. for ease of set up and it's much easier to cut to a line than on the table saw. if i were to be doing a production run, i would set up the table saw, otherwise, scms everytime. jeff

hi andy, what tooling do have acces to? a router table perhaps. if so, easy job on there. do all your mouldings from solid and cut the groove at the same time. garb yourself a matched set of profile and counter profile router bits in the style you like and that does all your stile/rail...

cheers eric, how do you find yours for precision or working with heavy stuff? i can see myself going for my original plan, buy the beefiest i can afford, with the biggest throat and make up the accessories myself. unless, anyone has any better ideas...... :? shane, you're forgiven. jeff

yeah but mint in the box, what would something comparably new cost? jeff

thanks for the comprehensive reply eric. i've found this one in france (very expensive) but it does have a nice big table with slots front to back, which will solve the hinge drilling requirements nicely with a fence running on the slots, but as with all the others, still leaves the vertical...

hi all, anyone use one of these? http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-pl ... prod22287/ thoughts on alternatives greatly appreciated. all the best, jeff

try leaving it to settle, in stick with something heavy on it. jeff

the mother-in-law popped in this afternoon with a box of stuff i might find useful and i spotted a jar of oil. from the look of the label, circa early eighties. SIGNPOST craftsman range, boiled linseed oil. "restores that new look sheen to old wood" gotta love the sales pitch. on closer...

if we slag them, it is because they are rubbish. not just felder either. machines are disposable now. i'll take a shop of reconditioned 50 year old wadkins separates over my felder combi anyday. jeff

good deal for someone there i'm sure. got a kgs305 myself. oldest most reliable tool in the shop. jeff
