Re: Looking for advice, horizontal boring, edge joining with dowels and glue
What are your recommendations for glueing the boards together and keeping them flat? What type of clamps should I be using? Are there clamping techniques that work best? The key to keeping panel glue-ups flat is using cauls with the clamps. The clamps apply pressure across the joint and the cauls a...

Re: Looking for advice, horizontal boring, edge joining with dowels and glue
One does not need to use dowels to make a cutting board or a table top. In fact, it is probably a waste of time and effort. As long as your edges are well jointed, glue is all you need. Doweling is for reinforcing joinery where things come in at (usually) right angles. It is an alternative to morti...

Re: Carriage Stop Ring for Mk V 500
The carriage on my 500 is from an old Greenie, and it is threaded on the side facing the headstock for a stop bolt which does the same job the spacer ring does. The stop bolt is adjusted to provide the correct spacing, then locked down with a nut. Stop Bolt Photo.jpg Maybe your old carriage is threa...

That will be a lot of weight, though, so the hardware may turn out to be some sort of roller bearings and not just oversize lazy susan hardware. Maybe an opportunity for s...
