Started work on the carcassing for the new drawers under my bench. Bought myself a pocket hole jig as that will mean I don't have to unscrew the bench...

[Cenedd]

Ah, it looks like you fell for the same problem you get with PCs. If you put the lid back on without testing it first, it's almost guaranteed not to...

[Cenedd]

I see a man with no wife yet.....otherwise he'd be seeing more cushions in his future....and vases you can't put flowers in! ...

[Cenedd]

I think they also do discs in that size that have sharp slots for carving and hollowing wood - sort of like a glorified cheese grater. Also seen one...

[Cenedd]

It's that for when it's REALLY Miller time?!
Does it need a water-cooled electricity meter to keep up with counting the angry pixies?!...

[Cenedd]

Thought you'd missed with the boring bar until I spotted the ganged tooling - I blame it on the small screen When that boring bar did hit though,...

[Cenedd]

Ahh, my boat is very difficult to float Reggie....and sometimes demands that I put holes in it for aesthetic purposes
Right now, I'm viewing...

[Cenedd]

Oh I'm grinding the ENTIRE back When I was doing it by hand I was definitely taking that shortcut as otherwise it would take a lifetime....but...

[Cenedd]

Ah, ok. When you said "toe clamps", I had in my head the standard clamping kit clamps that would have obstructed the top. You mean something...

[Cenedd]

No, I appreciate that. The 'top' face and the back aren't parallel to each other (deliberately). The closest stack of angle blocks I can make is 1°,...

[Cenedd]

To be honest, it could also be that the handle end wasn't supported well enough since my vise isn't wide enough to grip the whole length. I did have...

[Cenedd]

Ok, results
This was my setup. The angle between the 'top' face of the chisel and the back was a little more than 1.75° but not as much...

[Cenedd]

Made this. It's somewhat of a sidetrack but it was in my head to do it and wasn't going to go away until I had. Besides, it's only a quick thing. You...

[Cenedd]

I did a quick bit of searching earlier and it seems this is all previously-trodden ground and on this very forum too. This is the thread from 2011 covering...

[Cenedd]

Thanks Roger, I'm only trying to take a relatively small amount off rather than the sort of deep carving it looks like you're doing but I'll try to get...

[Cenedd]

Ah, that's an easy one. I'm using a diamond wheel.... because a diamond wheel is what I have.



I'm not aware of any sources...

[Cenedd]

When you say "wet" do you specifically mean water? I have got an MQL mister now but so far have only been using it for air to clear the chips...

[Cenedd]

My understanding - from Tormek's video is that, like Elf said, it's only a problem at much higher heat levels. I've got to avoid that sort of heat for...

[Cenedd]

Finally something that fits the category! I saw a Joe Pieczynski video a while back on diamond grinding HSS on a mill. Obviously that went in my...

[Cenedd]

Got round to starting a project for a friend. He restores vintage BMX bikes and wanted a peg (sticks out of wheel axle to stand on) copied. I've got...
