PN 06094, & PN 06068. I see you use a Festool,...

HI Lappa just had a look at their web site, but I think item 92 is the standard part.

Hi Everyone,
I'm making a sideboard out of Oak, & I was thinking of using Danish Oil, but can't seem to find it here in Thailand where I live.
I can get Teak Oil though, is there any difference...

Hi Elan, yes you are right, I will put some on, Thanks

Nice work Derek, hope mine come out half as good

Sorry about the late reply everyone, but I've been away
I think I've cracked it, after reading your reply & having a think, which is something I don't do very often, I've come up with this.
I've...

Thanks for that AJ but they want all Oak, plus the Ply over here is the worst I've seen, it's no good for decent work. Thanks anyway

Hi Everyone,
I've been asked by family if I will build this sideboard in Oak.
They want it 2.5 mtr long, so I will build the same as the one in the picture, but with 2 draws.
The sides will...

Hi Chief, Thanks for that
Not sure if we have that model Makita over here [Thailand] though not seen one before.
It's certainly light though, what's the power like?
I've only had one fixed...

Thanks to both of you for that information.

Hi, Is there another glue I can use to bond formica to MDF or Melamine faced boards.
At the moment I'm using a contact adhesive, but I'm not sure how strong that will be on a curved door. Also,...

I would like to thank everyone again for your posts, especially Aussie Roy & Crankshim those posts were exactly what I was looking for.
Two other questions, one is when gluing Laminates {formica}...

Thanks everyone for your helpful advice & tips.
It's so hard getting things here in Thailand, most shops don't speak English. Went to the local shop today for 4 bottles of cokes, 1st she gave me a...

Hi rrich, Thanks for that, I'm not very technical minded, so I was thinking of something I could just hook up to the bag & not have to do anything. Would a Vac pump for a car be powerful enough?

Hi everyone, I would like to make some curved kitchen doors. I will be using 3mm MDF & laminating & curving them with the use of a Vacuum Press. The 2 I like are 1 from Veneer Supplies, in America,...

Thanks, I have a CMT flush trim router bit with replaceable blades which I think will be ideal.
Thanks again

Not having used Acrylic before, for some reason I though spiral bits would have been better, & I did not think about a straight bit.
Thanks Elan

​Hi everyone, I want to trim 2mm Acrylic sheets which would be first laminated to MDF. I was thinking of using a down spiral bit with bearing, but before I ordered I asked the company I was ordering...

Hi China, there must be someone in Thailand who can sharpen it, but has yet, we haven't been able to find them. Buying a machine looks like it's going to be the only option. Thanks all the same. Ron

Thanks

Thanks GCP i'm going to give it a go

Hi Craig, thanks for that information, i've always wondered,if, after a year or so, they would look the same, now I know. The price over here also puts most people off.

Hi Stu, try www.rockler.com they are an American company & seem to have most things

Hi Craig, I will have to ask which grades of MDF are available here.
Why wouldn't you recommend solid solid surfaces?
