Not sure whether this should be in here or the projects bit.
I was using my cheapo Aldi mortiser yesterday and got thinking it would be a lot quicker/easier with an adjustable bed.
Now am I thinking a bit too simply here, or would it be quite easy to make one. 4 sliding dovetails (2 for each direction) and a couple of screwy adjustable thingies. I'd imagine it'd be more accurate machined out of Al but I reckon a few bits of hardwood would probably suffice.
Anyone any thoughts/comments.
