  • I’m sure someone with better skills and knowledge will answer, but to me I’m afraid that looks like the veneer has gotten wet and come away from the substrate (and split into the bargain) You could try glue and pressure to get it back down, but otherwise I think you’d have to put on a whole new veneer. I don’t believe it really ‘fixes’ very well.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news :(




  • I bought a 3d printer (Sidewinder X1) based on it’s capacity to print up a 100mm cyclone for chip separation. Making that, and some dust collection fittings for my Kity 636 planer thicknesser (both .stl files available through thingiverse) have easily repaid the c.£150 I paid for the printer.

    There are also loads of options for magnetic dust collection fittings, which make an amazing difference when you have one extractor and many machines.






  • Ha! I can imagine it’s a common experience.

    Thanks for the tips, and a good shout about the hops, I’ll bear it in mind. Amber ales tend to be my go to session beer, so we could definitely cope with making a few of those!

    I’m genuinely not sure if the couple of hours saved will make it realistic, but it was the only way of significantly cutting the time down we could think of.

    Good luck yourself. I’m really in my fatherhood journey, but enjoying it so far!
