I'm in

Kid at work last term wanted to laser etch this "sapnu puas" on his folio cover, rest of kids were snickering, permission was declined.

Inspector at welshpool didn't blink at my plywood floor. He even put down the colour as silver instead of brown rust when I told him It was going to get hot dip galvanised. It is so much easier to...

Nope, I'm wrong again...

It's cast iron, well it looks grey and grainy along the break.

My bad.

Cast Aluminium it is ( i think)

Its home now. $160 for a crane truck. Brand new crane; wireless control and it even weighed it for me. A bit over 1.2 tonne.

doesn't appear to be too bad.
haven't spotted any broken teeth. ...

Yes, lathes.co.uk, says it swivels 45º each way.

Its a Denbigh, horizontal and vertical mill.
Not sure if its all there.

Can anyone recommend a hiab and truck to transport a mill.
Needs to go from Banjup to Ferndale.
My guess is around a tonne in weight.

I hit the buy it now button on ebay.

Thanks everyone.

I found a cabiniet maker who sold me a coffee tin of contact glue, and then followed Russell's advice above. Seems to be stuck on, time will tell I guess.

the product we chose for our doors is called "ultra glaze" it is a high gloss acrylic 2mm thick.

I bought an extra sheet of it to do the cabinet ends, maybe I should have bought some extra doors!

Wow. I was expecting an easy answer "go to big green shed buy ....".

Surely cabinet makers must do this everyday :?. All I'm trying to do is make the end of a cupboard match the door.

It...

Flat on flat is the arrangement, acrylic sheet is the colour for the side of a kitchen cupboard (so it matches the acrylic doors).

I have a tin of fibreglass epoxy in the shed - will that work?...

What do I use to stick a 2mm sheet of acrylic to Melamine?

(I can't be the first to ask this but I can't find an answer using 'search')
thanks,

Dixi is interesting though, moving the head instead of the table.
