The Pin Less Leg Vice

July 19, 2012 By Richard Maguire 7 Comments

In my opinion the leg vice is the finest vice ever invented but I know that many people will disagree with me and much prefer the familiarity of say a good old ‘Record’ type face vice. There are many reasons that I favour the leg vice; it has an excellent capacity, won’t rack and can exert … [Read more...]

Cross Cut Clean Up – Part 2

July 5, 2012 By Helen 3 Comments

Once we’d made a start at cleaning up the saw we had to bring our attention to the electrics. We knew that they would work as we’d seen the saw running back in Kent but they were very old and we’re not that keen on fires! The bearings inside the motor didn’t appear to be in too bad condition but the … [Read more...]

Cross Cut Table – A Fitting Support!

June 15, 2012 By Helen 3 Comments

I  just popped out and left Richard to get on with building the new table for the cross-cut saw. I got back to find what looked more like a workbench. This rather sturdy looking table design has been giving him a bit of mental grief for a couple of weeks now as he's been trying to plan for all … [Read more...]

You’ll be pleased to know that all of the machinery made it back to our workshop safe and sound after Richard’s trip down to Kent back in April.

The Oak ‘Artisan’ – Gluing up the Top

June 7, 2012 By Richard Maguire 11 Comments

Gluing up the workbench top

The top is made up of three slabs which meant there was only two joints to worry about but because these are wide slabs there wasn’t any room for sloppiness.  If I’d tried to just clamp poor edge joints together on sections this large then the joint would be guaranteed to fail so I needed to take my … [Read more...]

Machinery Removal – Part 1

April 24, 2012 By Richard Maguire 9 Comments

I’ve been racking my brains for a couple of weeks now trying to peace a sentence together that best describes moving the machines. To be quite honest I think the English language has let me down. Two weeks and I’ve only rustled up three words….. 'Shear bloody will'. I also seem to have trouble … [Read more...]
