Jonzjob Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Can't think off hand, but they are yours if you want them!!! Your nickname ain't Wako by any chance?[:D][:P]Blimey Dick, you could come up with a nicer cabinet than that by modifying the cabinet in you coffee/honey pot rack. No cost for the plan either... Not a bad cabinet, but very Ikea common?Gotta go to bed, on a péniche at 7 in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I'm with JJ, you could do an awful lot better than YankeeNorm Dick. He's atypical of folk who think that 5 grand table saws make artistic furniture....he's a technician, just that. Let the juices flow, use what you have available to you and see what happens. That's the excitement, not knowing what will happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Oh no, not the juices, please. [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 By the time I've finished with it there won't be any of the plan in it!In his defence, his plans aren't bad, but don't have much 'customisability' in them. But that's true of all plans. The best thing about Norm is that he has inspired so many people to have a go.And I do envy his table saw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 [quote]third ... router bits ... open for attack on this .. I found that you will never get TCT bits as sharp as HSS ones , so for dovetails etc I use HSS . for hard woods use TCT ones .keeping them sharp is a bit of a pain but worth in when you get no breakout .[/quote]Just a thought from the world of precision engineering. Sharpening Carbon Tungsten cutters was always tricky. We used a dedicated "Green" stone: the gray stone used for High Speed Tool Steel and etc was no good.All boring bars were made by me, as were all specialised cutters: this included both internal and external thread cutting, of a wide variety of esoteric as well as normal thread forms, such as Acme single and Acme double start threads. This included making up from scratch, a leadscrew for a small surface grinder and the phosphor bronze captive "nut" to match. All essentially very precise, needing a single start Acme machine tool thread cutting over nearly two feet length in chrome steel stock. Only CT cutters would work, of course! The threadforms (both internal and external) had to be ground by eye. I couldn't do it now! I was fortunate in finding a local specialised tool manufacturing business who kindly sold my chum and I small oddments of CT which we then used to make up our own dedicated tooling.Haven't gotten round to sharpen any of my woodworking cutters as yet, but when necessary I will opt to add a green stone to my conventional grindstone as an essential.Have ogled the wet grinding stations from afar. Whilst I was taught at school ( A bloke called Noah was building a thing he called an Ark as his project, whereas most of the senior blokes were content with canoes!), how to sharpen chisels and plane blades etc, hard to create a really straight edge. The wet stones are the business! Don't sneer but if they are rarely used, Nutool list them and Makro etc sell them from time to time. Worth a thought?
