Oak Porch.

[jmbfestool]

Just another job I am on with my mate Andy and is on going  [embarassed]   This one I am trying to get finished sooner rather then later!

Any way!   Not really got any pictures yet!  Just these... posting some more 2moro!  Getting up early to get cracking on it!

Using the Felder planer at is Limit!

Using the Protool Sword to do all the curving! Due to the weight of the oak its a little difficult to try and feed it through a band saw! So decided it was easier to use the chain saw to cut all the curves!

great to see you posting again jmb its been a bit oddd lately , all of the posts have made sense and were easy to read.

you need a pre seperator for that saw. id say it would fill up the vac fairly fast

Evening Brett,

Before i start, no I am not going to take the ..........about oak. [smile]

Surprised to see the the Protool has given such a good curve, Was always under the impression it was a straight line cutter only, thats good to see that it is multi talented.

When did you get the felder. it is a felder planer in the pic? dont forget to clean thge tables down after planning , if you dont they will go blue.

Looking forward to seeing this develop and i will play nice. [big grin]

Regard John

Must be Rembo putting me off posting my projects lol  [embarassed]

Yeah it did fill it up but didnt bother me really cus its a life long bag I just emptied it quickly into the skip.    I didnt stick the vac on at first but the thing throws out the wood bits like a massive wood blower and I was getting covered init so stuck the Vac on the basically keep me clean not the surrounding area as its a messy any way.

I suppose I could get a Cyclone and fix it to a systainer just aint got round to getting one.

Yeah it is a Felder combination machine.   No it aint mine I do some work for my mate and my mate does some work for me and this is my job so hes my . . . . . at the moment lol He works for a builder sometimes and the builder lets him use the work shop when he wants.  

So we used the workshop to just square all the oak up and thickness it to the sizes we want.  Cut out any large pieces with the felder and used spindle moulder to do some of the larger rebates and then I have taken all the oak to my place to carry on working on it! Because the builder charges to use the work shop!

Im have used the felder combination machine a bit now and I have come to the conclusion for my work shop I WONT be buying one my self.    I will have to buy all the machines separate.    

1. It did my head in changing machines over altering setups
2. Only one man can use the machine.

I have the hammer combination and I agree. If I had the space I would have seperate machines. But seeing as I work from a double garage the combination was my only option.

I presume the main hassle is switching between tablesaw and spidle moulder mode rather than planer/thicknesser (which I know takes quite a few cranks of the handle)?

 

[mattfc]

p.s. shame the protool bandsaw is 2k.. would ahve been perfect!

I think Maffele and Makita plus other do smaller versions also

Well yeah that is a little annoying swapping from planer to thicknesser .   The main thing which annoyes me is only one person can use the machine.  One cant be using the spindle moulder while the other is using the planer/thicknesser.  So often one of us would have stand and wait for a bit.    

The 2nd annoying thing is the swapping between spindle and table saw.

The protool bandsaw would be nice but I can't justify the price.   The Protool sword can do sharp enough curves for what I want.   I have done another curve which is a smaller radias.   I recon it can do pretty sharp curves.  It stayed BANG on square when I have been cutting them curved oak beams very surprised really didn't expect it to.

The blade is much more rigid and doesn't move up and down like a jigsaw plus the unit has got a good base.. so I would expect it to stay bang on or would be asking for my £650 odd back!

p.s. how was Ischgl?

For one person use and limited space its brilliant.  Just I would like to be able to have some one helping me on my jobs and this aint a machine to do this when I finally get to build my work shop!  Fingers crossed!  I am starting it this year!    I have not taken any more new jobs on (unless a really nice one turns up) and some job I have passed on to my mate.  So when I finish of current on going jobs! ill be starting the build!

Suppose!  I just had it in my head a chainsaw don't expect a lot from it.  

Ischl was good thanks!!  We got an extra 2 days for free all Paid for!  Cus we got trapped due to avalanche! So no one could enter Ischl and no one could leave.

You can see the bottom rail has a double groove but the bottom one slopes down in the middle into the mortise hole. The other one is to keep the paneling up in place so it does not drop down.      The centre piece has been grooved all the way along even along the Tennon.  The motrise hole will have a small hole drilled on the side.    I came up with this idea so water can get out and wont sit in the groove and in the mortise hole!  I dont know if its a good idea!  Just thought it will hold water and it needs a way out!

Some more pictures!

Seen as these older joiners/carpenters are drifting away from traditional ways of joinery with their new Domino Xl's  [tongue] [tongue] [tongue](you know who you are [poke])   I thought I would have to be the one to keep it going!  All tenons are mortises are hand cut

What no power tools?  [eek]

Yea of course! Did use the TS75 for cutting the timbers to length etc!   Couldnt use it on the tenon shoulders though due to the curve cus the shoulders needed shaping to fallow the curve.
