Hi I am sure I have some of those bed bolts in the workshop somewhere if you want some I can have a look tomorrow no worries
-
Hi nice work,love the crock it would be ace by a swimming pool or pond .
-
Hi everyone just thought I would give you an update on how I cut the legs ,I used one of those saws from Japan ,bloody ace such a nice cut ,took a bit of getting used to but ace saw ,I think I will get more of them
-
Hi Andy, yeah just a small off set 2mm just as you drill the hole go through the front and the tendon then just mark the back of the mortise remove the head board clamp an off cut to the back to avoid break out then just eye it over slightly and away to go ,well that’s how I was taught , good luck and do post some pics when done , I quite often will use a contrasting coloured wood for pegs as a bit of a feature ,yew and greenheart work well in my experience, I can send you some greenheart if you want. Cheers Mark

Hi if you are going to peg right through to avoid glue slightly off set the rear dowel hole as then if you leave the peg an inch or so proud if it loosens up as it drys you will be able to tap the dowel in a bit and keep it tight ,that’s how I was taught to do pegs on Oak framing ,Looks Ace ,a bed is one of those things I keep saying I am going to make myself but never get round to it
-
Hi nice project shame I haven’t got the room for it but I bet it wouldn’t be long before someone makes you an offer .
-
Hi it’s nice to carve but just will not last outside but for anything inside it’s like lime and have a look at what Grinlin Gibbons carved with lime it’s totaly stunning
-
Hi I have a big old Makita circular saw hand held and for rough stuff it’s ace if I had time to adapt something so it could run on the track that came with the makita track saw that would be cool ,but I just can’t find a big chop saw .
-
Hi Martin , I seen one of those thatbolts on to a handheld circular saw on one of those building Alaska TV shows but could not find one for sale over hear
-
Hi Squardey thanks for your offer but in Dorset so a wee bit far but if I am ever back in the home country it would be cool to pop in and say hi
-
Hi guys thanks for your reply’s ,Steve I do have a compound mitre saw that does 4 inch but turning the work round is never that accurate,maybe I need a new one ,the one I have is quite old it’s a erbauer one and it’s been ace my old neighbor worked at a place making park homes and came hammer with a massive one he never set it up and gave it away , I will give him a ring tomorrow, I have used a spear and Jackson,predator and a Japanese saw that is ace but it’s a ball ache ,Thanks for all your replays
-
So I am making another big table and having the same issue I always have when cutting say 6x6 oak legs flat on both ends I don’t have a saw big enough and as far as I can find out neither does any woodshop near me ,cutting with a hand saw is a F###ing nightmare, cutting half way and turning it over is never that good how do you all manage ,looking forward to hearing your replys Cheers Mark
-
Hi guys I just haven’t done any carving in a long time working on getting my bandmill sorted a shed for it etc but I totally agree we should do something to revitalise the forum,as for swearing it don’t bother me a swear all the F###ing time but in context and not aimed at people,as soon as I do some carving I will defo post it hear cheers Mark
-
Hi Jon ,good effort with the photo ,it’s a total nightmare to try and photo the glow,nice to hear the table is still doing well it was ace fun to make Cheers Mark
-
Nice job with the burr. I use Eli Chem for the resin and the glow powder and they are so helpful on the phone ,but taking photos is a nightmare,I have used Easy Composits resin and didn’t think it was as good , there are all sorts of glow in the dark colours on eBay but I have not bothered to order any so can’t say what they are like
-
Hi oh yes totally F##ed the band it ended up behind the band wheel ,but I thought I would use that one to get it set back up then when it looks good I will change it for the only new one I have left I need to order some more .
-
Hi guys I have just changed the nylon bushes on my HM 130 and now I want to change the band roller bearings where do you all get yours and do they have a code number .Also having trouble tracking the band I started the mill and tried to make a cut forgetting that I had not tightened the tracking bolts up now the tracking is way out and it all being new to me kinda struggling a bit anyone who has one fancy coming and giving me a hand ,that would be ace Thanks Mark
-
I have plenty but I can’t understand why it’s not very popular I think it’s ace , it’s stable has really interesting figuring with its notts , admittedly it don’t last outside but for inside furniture it’s ace ,I did some big chunky shelf’s for my daughter and her and her mates all love them,so why do most saw millers not like it ,there is a shop near me that sells pine furniture that is bloody expensive so I really can’t understand why M P is so disliked Cheers Mark

Hi no it’s not mine it belongs to the matey that shares our workshop with us

Hi it may be obvious but have you checked the air filter ,on my old 880 the one that got stolen the air filter was always getting full of sawdust making it hard to start and under powered as with most things look for the most obvious first a good clean fresh fuel and then see what happens,good luck hope you get it sorted
