I'll just repeat ... I have a home-made something that does a similar job. For fixing it down, I can either screw through some holes in the baseboard onto a stand (as Darren has provided for) OR I ...

@darrenking Of course no solution is perfect for everyone. It doesn't seem to me that this would require a huge amount of clamping force, since there's a fair bit of weight holding things down (jig, b...

I'd buy this ! When can you ship? 🙂

@russ @tv101 Suzy Bogguss is great she does a live stream every week on Facebook at 5pm Central time US. Wine Down Wednesday it’s called.

but the memory of my dad’s compressor is that is was rather loud Yes, they can be very loud, especially at the budget end of the range. You can get compressors that are barely audible but they cost a...

I might have made the base a smidgin bigger Hi Jon, it is always a difficult path to navigate between what is ultimately desirable and what is possible in relation to the most economic use of the mat...

Today I discovered I can also angle the miter saw blade vertically. So I actually don't need a jig at all.I'm gonna try that tomorrow!

I don't know quite what it is about the explorer, but it's probably my favourite "radical" guitar shape. It's "wrong" for a guitar (says the guy who plays a headless!), but somehow very balanced aesth...

I love the idea of air tools and having compressed air but the memory of my dad’s compressor is that is was rather loud. But perhaps today’s models are reasonably quiet? 🤔

@darrenking Thanks for the info. That works, though if I was designing for myself I might have made the base a smidgin bigger than the rails so I could clamp without a baseboard (which makes it heavie...

I have a *BIG* collection of VU stuff @Russ .......pure Envy @tv101. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

I love all things Velvet. I have a *BIG* collection of VU stuff @Russ - original albums, reissued albums, box setted albums with the extra track, bootlegs finally issued officially, etc, etc. And, st...

Every workshop should have compressed air, Now you've got me thinking @boo. I'm not quite in the position to be creating a workshop........ yet....but it's more information to ponder over. 🙏...

Even if you only used a blow gun and paint spraying guns, it would pay for itself in no time. Ahhh, but I don't @Boo! The Mirka sander is probably the first tool that I've considered buying, where th...

I'd start off looking at something suitable for an airbrush that I could store on a shelf in my flat, and before I knew it I'd be looking at the Turbo Mega Compressor Pro Triple Plus and thinking "wel...

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, any advice on avoiding tear out on those areas. Usual rules - take small depth of cuts with each pass and - if your router has a speed control - ...

I’m a bit worried about copy routing the pointy bits, Looks great @cheesewhisk. I'd probably rout up to near the edges and finish it off by hand with a sanding block. 🤷🏻‍ɤ...

It took almost as long to separate the two templates as it did to route them as the double sided tape didn’t want to let go. Forgive me if you know this already, but sometimes a "twisting" movement...
