Lets Visit The Workshop

A tidy workshop is a efficient workshopÉummm. A busy workshop is a messy workshopÉummm.
I like to tiptoe the fine line between these two statements depending on how busy I am (very, normally)
and how efficient I am (I consider myself an effective and focused worker).
Anyway lets meet the machines that make my making possible. |

Saw: My favourite machine in the workshop. This Wadkin PP dimension saw, built in
the early 70Õs was made to last. A beautiful precision machine that can also cope
with the thicker sizes of hardwoods that I like to work with. Beauty and the
beast rolled into one. If only Wadkin could be a little more helpful about supplying spares.

Planer thicknesser: This Italian made planer and thicknesser is a sturdy workhorse
pulling through large baulks of timber with ease. Although it does need constant
adjustment to keep it planning true.

Mortiser: The mortising machine, a tool that drills square holes. A great
time saver what a wonderful invention.

Belt sander: This 8ft sliding bed belt sander is the only way to get a good finish
on a large table top. The final sand is a crucial stage in revealing the grain to
its maximum effect. The finer the finish the greater the depth of grain.

Band saw: A Startrite 301. Not a powerful machine but when set up correctly a
very accurate and satisfying tool for curved work and working on small pieces of wood.
