carrera4s Posted April 30, 2019 Share Over the last few days I restored my grandpa's No 7 Stanley plane. We are 4 cousins that has his names, but I am the only one that does any woodworking. He was a carpenter and when I was in primary school, they stayed with us for c 2 years - he then taught me a few skills. I inherited a No7, No5, No78 and router plane, two saws, a "ratchet" screw driver, lots of hand brace drill bits and his tool chest. Some of these will also still be restored. Restoring this plane was very rewarding - I was constantly thinking of him. PS: @Rocket Boy - thanks for all the tips and advice!

bertusras Posted April 30, 2019 Share Hello woodworking wizards. Is there anyone who'd be able to assist with the making of a bowl for me? It needs to look something like the below, dims still to be finalised, but it doesn't need to be out of any fancy timber as it will get covered in any case. Shotalot!

If someone can make this for you and they need a DWG/DXF file to run on a CNC machine or something like that then I can convert the model for you ... just drop me a PM if needed. bertusras and Capricorn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted May 6, 2019 Share Makes sense then to use SketchUp. We often use it for both Architectural Conceptual design, and joinery or furniture sketch designs. Specialized ventilation Rocket-Boy and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed-Zulu Posted May 7, 2019 Share Anyone use Fusion360?I really wanted to, but my ADSL speed is way to low for it to work, so had to uninstall. I see it is widely used by the likes of Diresta and other makers. On the upside, fibre is being installed in my street, so will give it a try again. Have you been using it? Is it as good as the internet says it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used TurboCad for many years and my computer crashed and I lost it and not able to re-install . Want to now use Fusion360 but at my age the learning curve is quite steep and it works completely different to normal cad programs so it's learning new and unlearning the old.Fusion360 has many advantages though.

LOOK695 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Not sure if it has been covered. Need a table saw. Problem is budget, so looking more at cheaper ones as per pic or something similar. Reviews not so great on the Makita. Any recommendations welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
