My latest designs I've got to quote to make, a 3x double wardrobe with sliding mirror doors in oak veneered MDF and another unit to go round a chimney breast and over the bed.

I've used plywood for making up carcasses etc as it takes screws etc without splitting but a customer wants oak finished wardrobes and I'm looking at veneered MDF to get the job within budget. Does anyone know how to join MDF without it splitting etc while still getting a strong joint. Any...

I was working today when the guy from the next house (mansion) came round to ask if I'd take a look at his house, it's an old vicarage but it's massive and old. The windows have seen better days and there's lots of them. Most windows are the same size down stairs and the up stairs are different...

Can you fit stacked dado cutters to a kity 419? Norm's always using them so I feel I should to.. :wink:

I've been working at this house for ages doing all sorts, this is the last project I was asked to do. Just a few bits of painting to finish it off,.

Can any of you guys help out? I need to know the total weight of a Kity 419 with side table, sliding table and stand etc.. Cheers

Just bought one of these from Poolewood. Seems to have plenty of suck, clears my planer/thicknesser with ease - ye it's made in China but the motor looks half decent. The box weighed a bit but when it's assembled it's quiet easy to move around. All I have to do now is get me self some more ducting.

I don't know if it will be of any use to anyone 3 box's of 1.0mm wax sheet and 1 box of 2.5mm. This is very expensive stuff. It's sheet wax for pattern making - maybe of use to someone.

I've got an electric hand plane free to a good home (just pay the postage). It's a B&Q special pro plane... it cuts fine though.

I posted some reviews of a clamp guide on the axminster website, I didn't give them a good review as they were a bit pants. The review box said that the review would appear soon, but that's since gone and it says there are no reviews. It seems if you give a not so glowing review then they won't...

I bought some of these from Axminster http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=809831&name=clamp+guide&user_search=1&sfile=1&jump=44 I've just left a review on their website as they aren't that good. They sometimes let go mid cut which isn't very help full and even if they keep a grip on...

Someone will probably know.. If you buy tools from the US will they work on a 110 transformer and what KVA will I need to run 1400 watts?

Bought myself a FOX planer thicknesser £220, pushed some wood through and got wedges out. Anyway after fetling the lift mechanism and altering a few things on the planer to get the tables aligned with each other I can use the thicknesser on wide pieces of wood and the thickness is within 0.1mm...

After reading some of the "how to" postings on here and totally enjoying reading them, I've found myself going through pages of posts trying to track down more of them. I was wondering if they could be copied and placed outside the forum as a reference to all looking for info in a place easier...

I have a vacuum pump for sale it's been used to process carbon fibre pre-preg but I don't use it anymore. It can be used for holding down veneers while the glue dries. It's a heavy pump so if you need it posted it will cost a few bob.

Does anyone know an online store that sells white edge strip pref iron on in more than a few metre strip lengths? Any info would be great...Ian

Making some table tops out of ply, the edges are to be pine. Some edges are to be radiused (about 100mm rad). Making quite a lot of these and so they have to be quick to make and robust. Just a few questions as I've not much experience at this sort of thing and would like to get it right first...
