• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

How would you make this?

I challenge the safety aspect of that statement using correctly flanged jaws (note above image) or straps.

Feel free, but it's needless expense and hassle.

edit - you'd need to strap it as the wood is much deeper than the buttons and straight sided.

:ROFLMAO: It's £108 Andy. I can buy 5 of these double bowl things, complete with carving and delivery, for £125.
 
In addition I have now been told that a radiator cover has been prioritised along with two chair repairs. :cool:

The question is about forming the hollows smoothly and evenly without it taking forever. I need to make a few. (The carving aspect is not a problem). The hollows I have in mind are about half a cricket ball each. In solid oak.

At the risk of stating the obvious - cutting a slice off via bandsaw, drilling holes then gluing back seems like you're asking for a glue line.

Drill holes all the way through, if you use a holesaw, cut the plug to thickness desired for depth of recess, add a thin strip of contrasting wood or coloured resin, to make up the saw kerf, glue it back in.

It's a salt and pepper thingy, why make it complicated?

It's unlikely it'll ever fall below 1/3rd filled anyway.

Alternatively do it the bandsaw way but do it top and bottom above and below the lettering, add contrasting thin veneers as part of the design.
