Of course, over here in Europe things are slightly different.

Norm has all but disappeared from our screens this side of the pond. A few years ago you couldn't turn on cable TV without seeing him.
Non-woodworking clients used to take a look at my shop and...
I use an old Elu, but wouldn't buy another biscuit joiner. I'd go the whole hog and get a Domino.
I haven't sprung for one just yet, but it seems to me that it will do anything a BJ will do, but...
Where is the place on SMC to post photos of pieces we have made or projects we have completed?
The General forum gets very crowded and threads can disappear off the first page in an hour or so,...
Al,
'Duncan Cheslett' is an alias I use on Family Woodworking to fool them into thinking that I don't post on here as well!
Keep it to yourself, though!
Cheers

Plans?
The veneering for the doors and the top was carefully worked out and jigs made.
As for the cabinet work, I've never drawn plans in my life!
All you need is a quick sketch, make a...
Thanks for the comments, guys.
As for the time taken, unfortunately when you do this game for a living you've got to get quick!

I'm pretty pleased with the way this turned out, and more...
I can recommend the 621 - I've got 4 of them!
The best feature is the dust collection - hook up to your shop vac and enjoy virtually dust-free routing!

My only concern would be that Bosch are obviously aiming this at their 'green' or DIY market.
Maybe they will launch a 'blue' pro version at a later date?
I just found this http://www.bosch-presse.de/TBWebDB/en-US/PressText.cfm?&Search=1&id=3005 for sale through a big catalogue store in England.
It looks like a copy of the Fein Multimaster but at...
I use it for all kinds of things but it is really worth its weight in gold when installing built-in furniture.
Ever had to cut a skirting board in situ nice and square in order to remove a...
Whatever you pay for the Multimaster, you'll get a bargain!
It's the most useful site tool there is, particularly with the E cut blades. I have to agree with the point about the blades slipping,...
Nice job on the cabinets Dan, but the timber phases me.
When I was in the pine furniture business, any timber with blue staining in it was put on the fire!
I must have burned tons over the...
Great photos, David!
Timber framed buildings are somewhat unusual in England - we have an obsession with bricks!
I've been reading up a little on construction methods as I want to build a...
When I was making a lot of pine furniture this is exactly the set-up I used.
It worked like a dream for doors - I could make a complete cabinet door from raw stock to clamps in 20 minutes
Now...
I do a lot of painted work and use nothing but MDF. Carcasses, face frames, door frames, panels, drawers, everything! It is by far the best material for painted furniture - I wouldn't even think...
I've been meaning to build the ultimate router table for a while now, but just haven't found the time yet!
My idea is basically to use the Norm model with a Jessum lift, but actually to house a...
At a family party yesterday, I met for the first time in 30 years my great uncle who is 94 years old. I was vaguely aware that he used to teach carpentry years ago but had never thought anything of...
If you're going to store your wood upstairs, why not have your big machines up there to process it, with your assembly and finishing areas downstairs.
Much easier lugging componants down the...
Me, I'd go and see the other guy, suggest we get our heads together and both submit a revised bid of $700!
Then share the work between us.
It's usually us Brits castigating you guys for what we would consider 'unsafe practices' in the workshop; no riving knives, guards etc...
In this instance the positions seem to be reversed,...
Am I right in thinking that 'bessy' fences are long ones reaching beyond the blade?
If so, this is at least part of the problem. Ideally the fence should only extend maybe an inch past the FRONT...
This is the correct way to do it.
However after a few years most people do it like this;
1. How much do I think I can get away with?
2. Do I really want the job?
If Yes, knock a...
I agree
It's a no brainer
