Thanks all
Matt, get in touch and we can look at doing something for you

thanks for the comments both

I will be doing plenty more when time permits

that is a possibility of doing an electric version and am looking into it
thanks Dermott

The timber is Swiss Pear
it machines beautifully and takes the ebonised finish very well

I have been playing about with this machine and have produced a sample corner of a basic reverse moulding hard to get to grips with but it's still developing I will probably end up supplying them in frames only as there is a lot of machining to supply in lengths I should be moving onto the wave styl...

ah. reply sent to someone else!
anyone interested, give me a call or PM me

Hi
I did send a message
they are £500 plus vat and delivery new from Selwyns
I would be ok with £200 ex vat and delivery
it's in great condition and could send up flat to be re assembled

I will check carriage but would expect it to be about £15
let me know

Hi
I have a tower display which I was looking to sell
it is black fabric and a beech wood trim
5 sides at 12 inch wide per side
also spins
bought from Selwyns

I wholly agree with Mitreman never use double sided tape I had a 1966 England replica shirt in signed by some of the original players who won the world cup needless to say the double sided tape had embedded into the fabric and had to be sent to a textile restorer for removal The fomecore and tab met...

another way to get consistency on the flutes is to use the tool from a diy shop that is used for laying down ceramic tiles it's a sort of plastic toothed comb you can soften the edges of the plastic with sandpaper and even mitre one end so you get the closed corner joint after you have done that, ap...

I'm still messing about with different ways and profiles yet but and the profile image is just my first effort so difficult to say

the guys that did this originally must have been massive as I was sweating doing it
I will post more as I get chance to do some more on it though

I'm not sure if the files will show as I've not posted any images for some time As a side hobby almost as I'm fascinated with older techniques, I have been making a dutch ripple making machine, I think called a Flammleisten , so I will be able to make ripple mouldings still a work in progress and fi...

Thanks to all for the above
for info only ,spoke with Neilsen and it looks as though C&H have gone
shame as they were a great machine

Thanks for the replies
I will give NB a call and expect the possible pia!

Does anyone know if C&H mountcutters are still sold in the uk

I have always used these for 30 years and the one I bought in 2001 is getting tired

try rubbing some Tung Oil onto oak
it may need two coats and left to dry for 24 hours
wax after
it deepens the colour differently to stain

good to see you back Mark
take care of yourself
