Blatant Gloat

[Felder]

Before heading off to the WWW show, I thought I'd have a go at cutting a thin flitch from a Blackwood off-cut.

Very nice

I'm un-ashamedly happy.

Glad you like it, Auld!

Peter from Felder popped around yesterday evening with the Hammer extension table and associated guides. It seems that they had quite a good show.

Very neat!

Just waiting on the mitre gauge and the 120 to 100mm d/c reducer - and on the resaw blade from Henry Bros...

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Hopefully it will reduce the heat build-up often experienced with bigger boards of Blackwood and such. I'm always a bit fearful that a smouldering chip might enter the D/C system - and land in a large bag of very dry, fine dusty wood :eek:

That's the main reason I built the 44-gallon drum seperator; the improved filtration was a secondary concern... Previously a relly had dropped a cigarette butt into the floorsweep :eek: and 'twas brown-pants time. Fortunately nothing came of it apart from a heightened sense of paranoia.

All my fittings are attached to the lid and it only takes a moments work to remove the lid (and associated duct-work) then the drum can be wheeled out of the shed and dowsed or left to burn out.

Those guys didn't pee on your other machines to mark their territory did they?
