Re: Do you mount to board or barrier?
@Zac If you imagine the front and back cover of a hardback book, the window mount is the front cover and undermount the back cover. Line them up and tape down the seam, then hinge you work as usual onto the undermount. If it's portrait orientation then the book hinge is taped on the side, if it's la...

Re: Chop saw thoughts
From my understanding an ancient double mitre saw will always beat new hobby equipment. At least that's what I have been advised. I have one in my shed waiting for me to give it a full service and make the space for it. The older machines like mine (c1980's) are much simpler and many less parts to r...

Re: Do you mount to board or barrier?
According to the FATG, the undermount should be a minimum of 1100 mic as Roboframer says, but preferably the same thickness as the window mount.

Re: Oak supplier advice
Imo oak is oak is oak. I suggest making a new sample from what is supplied and sell it without any comment about how it was. I just had the same with a new set of Crescent Rag board chevrons. All the tones are different to the original set I have been using. The customers have no idea.. An expert in...

Re: Machinery needed, starting from scratch
Depending on how much budget, space and how much volume you intend to do. Morso guillotine (or double mitre saw for higher volume) Underpinner: Alfamacchine, A+Automation, Giele. Sadly Cassesse just went bust. Mountcutter: Keencut and Fletcher are the two hand mountcutter brands, CMC's I can recomme...

Re: Can I tell what quality mountboard has been used?
I would have thought that holding some mount chevron samples up to the mounted piece would show you what has been used, assuming that you have samples of budget, cream core and conservation levels of board. If it ain't broke and the customer is happy as it is then it's not in your remit at this poin...

Re: Sealing packages
I've used a white acid free self adhesive like Nitto tape/P70 for a few years on most work, saving the acid free gummed tape for level 1 work but recently started to use the gummed tape for everything. Masking tape is banned in my work space, I can't stand the stuff. If you've ever had to open up a ...

Re: Oak supplier advice
Rose and Hollis here too. There are various shades and patterning that turn up. It helps to ask them to check for matching and straightness when necessary, which means that they'll take more time picking it and the do their best to send you all similar looking sticks in an order. Never had an issue ...

It's fair to say that you got yourself a bargain and I hope you have many years of happiness together! As painful and frustrating as it is, for some of us problem solving issues like this is the best way to get to know tools.

Re: Morso Mitre handle stuck on 13th tooth arc
Are you bottom knives flush with the deck? They're not catching on the fences are they? Looking at my Morso, that's all I can see that could be catching? If so, take them off clean them and the morso body and reseat them??
