Hi folks, at last i've had some more time to play and have finished a built in set of drawers and wardrobe made from pine, now i have the problem of what to use to finish them. Been all over the internet and read so many contradictory things it's untrue! Requirements - stable and reasonably...

Been through this not so long ago, read though this section of the forum theres loads of helpfull posts including the time i asked. All i would say is evaluate what you want from it (adjustable speed, this, that....) and the envirioment your going to use it in and then nail down your budget and...

Thanks for your reply Steve and i take your point with camera angles and i realize that it depends your saw and on what your cutting too, your earlier post re wider boards for example. Will be making a short fence with a lip but i'll still stand behind the fence until i have much more experience...

Steve, "Tarkin Have you considered making one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7QXIN2X8-w Cheers Steve" As someone whos new to all this i have to say thanks for all the info i've got from your you-tube vids so far :) One question though your still standing in the line of fire...

Hope so would be a shame otherwise, looks great and provided me with food for thought, need a couple of book shelfs done but maybe some mild copying and wall cabinet now i've seen this.

I'm not experencied and have no idea about your questions, i just want to say it looks great :)

looks clean, thinking of having a go at a side table for my second project and i haven't done any doweling yet, did you use a bench drill for that or have you got a cunning method without?! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Paul, i know its not some grand design in oak but i'm learning a lot and i end up with something usefull so alls good!

Blimey thanks fellas! Nice to have the feedback and the knot will go for sure, didn't cross my mind so ta for pointing that out. The boards are only resting on top at the mo so another will be cut, t&g'ed and put in place when i do the fillet for the back. Especially important as i was going to...

Hi all, well this is it, i have a thread going on in general woodworking https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/space-balls-and-raised-panel-doors-various-questions-t43294.html regarding the doors for this project but here it is to show you what i'm up too. Will do the rest as a WIP thread...

Thanks for all the replys folks :D I've used wudcare internal and external waterproof Pva on the rest of the build and can't fault it, but thats been m&ts, drawer lock joints and t&g, no critical joints really, looked for glue strength type charts without success but if folks think titebond...

thanks Tom but theres 9 amps, 4 powered subs and over 1.5K so i have to try and limit the capacity for the panels to shake as much as possible, all drivers are on vibe platforms anyway. Would have similar concerns with packing peices because of this and to be honest it is the reason for starting...

Thanks for your reply Chems, maybe something stronger than PVA would do it, just seems a bit lightweight though! Don't have to start work yet so i'll wait to see what others think as well. With the space ball thing i have considered running a mastic bead in the panel grove, maybe that would...

Hi All, finally got some time to have a go at making some raised panel doors to fit a in-built chest of drawers and cupboards i've been working on. Could do with your help and advice on a few points please. The doors need to be approx 1550mm by 520mm and made of pine to match the drawers...

Ahh well then, couple of bits of alloy tubing should do it :lol: Good luck and i hope it works out.

Thought about this a while ago but decided i have to undertake a few projects first before my skills improve! Think the most impressive way of doing this is by means of actuators........ "Put simply, an actuator is something that converts energy into motion. It can also be used to apply a force...

Eight records on the way! Thanks for taking the time to do this :) Dean

Sure we've all been guilty of that at some point! PM sent and ta very much

Hi Pete, No not to late! I just had one of those feelings and thought i can still get them in time if i order in the morning so i haven't ordered them yet :) I have done another forum search and came up with a real mixed bag with these Dakotas - on one hand for the money sounds like i won't...

Thanks guys, looks like i'll be ordering those in the morning then! Its only to clamp another m&t'd pine frame together so sounds like job done :lol: Dean
