    Infrared heating for workshop?

    If anyone's interested, in the end I bought 2 Varma V400 infrared heaters from Sunswitch: http://www.sunswitch.net/workshop_heaters.html Benefits: Immediate heat, direct it where you want by turning the heater on it's bracket (wall mounted), and added bonis is they are amazing for making...

    Luna W59

    Thanks Stenis, I have emailed Ejca and found them helpful. They say they do have limited spare parts. The machine has no braking mechanism though and this would be hard to retrofit - so I wonder if it will be too much of a liability as I will be taking on more staff.

    Luna W59

    Hello All, I came across this thread because I am considering buying a Luna W57. Seems to be in good condition and including accessories. Do you think £1000 is a good price (seems it to me) and what other advice can you give me about buying this machine? Many thanks!

    Infrared heating for workshop?

    I was all set to get a woodburning stove, until I realised we're in a smoke free zone and a clean burning stove plus correct type of flue installed to regs would cost near £2000. So I am looking at Infrared heaters. It seems they are quite cost effective actually...

    (Obviously I've release the nose assembly to do the normal jam clearance procedure, it just won't budge)

    Buying paslode in America

    Now my IM50 drive blade is seriously jammed. I've done the full service clean, and oiled inside the piston cylinder. It's the whole piston/blade assembly that's jammed. It was jammed rock solid, I managed to budge it back up again after oiling it, but as soon as I fired the first nail it's...

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    Reuben sensibly decided to make a simple lattice, then make the jerusalem cross separately and route channels in the back to fit over the lattice. Making all the components as per my design would have been a bit of a nightmare...

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    Update - the job is going ahead! I have subcontracted a cabinet maker friend of mine to make the lattice panels, then I will install them in the bedhead I wil be making along with the other bits and pieces. Picture of the first test piece is attached, but you can see more at my friend's blog...

    And here is a better view of the headboard design (doors design has changed a little since this drawing)

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    For anyone interested, here are some more drawings. As you can see I've gone to a lot of effort detailing the jerusalem cross lattice - however to save costs, we may have to stick the cross feature onto a simple lattice. I hope not as it would be a shame! The coloured dimensioned parts are...

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    OK, so here's the design. I've gone for 21mm square stock for the parts making up the cross, and 14mm square for the general lattice work. My thinking was to reduce machine setup, to keep router cuts to the same depth (7mm) as much as possible for the half lap joints and the reduction of the...

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    Is Tulipwood quite strong? I know it paints well and is quite fine grained and not too expensive - so sounds like a good suggestion, thanks. I'm working on the drawings and assembly process, I'll post another image soon...

    Interlocking lattice work for Morrocan style screen

    As part of a bedroom remodel, the customer wants some lattice work in doors and on a bed head. They want to combine a moroccan flavour with a jerusalem cross symbol. The lattice work would be as panels set into the boards (MDF) for bedhead/doors etc, with a sort of frame around each panel that...

    Bamboo

    Thanks for the tip, I'd considered using flooring but really need continuous length of over 2m for this project. In the end I proposed using oak (quite a close colour match to the bamboo in question) but I think my price was too high and I never heard back!

    cutting list

    Just came across this thread. I am trying to optimise the process myself, I do a lot of custom shelving and cabinets in MDF, which I get cut at Arnold Lavers. I use sketchup to design the items down to mm detail, made up of separate components (usually 18mm MDF). I name the components as I...
