Just found this

wish I have found this before spending out a lot of money on equipment

The joints didn’t line up perfectly, but the discrepancy was acceptable.

Obviously not guild commended then.

Going to put my CS88 on ebay me thinks

^^^And I was just about to buy a biscuit jointer....

Now I know where I've been going wrong all these years.

Proper job, helps when you've got the right equipment ......
Off to Ikea for the Bank Holiday sales, gonna make a fortune

Tragic!

I thought this explained it, then I realised he was sticking it into the frame, not his arm.

He didn't need to stick it in his arm he was inhaling the fumes

That is absolutely fabulous. Mrs D and I had tears running down our faces.

All we need now is a masterclass from him in Swept frame production to complete our knowledge.

Now where is that Jigsaw.

Does he have a video on mountcutting as well?

When I had a books and prints shop in Newton Abbot, there was a guy running another shop who insisted that he could cut mounts on his bandsaw.

I've seen a few mounts that could have cut on a bandsaw. Maybe he did 'em.

hehe must have a lot of time on his hands

All you need to cut mounts is a stanley knife (sharp blade preferably) a keen eye and a steady hand

didn't you mean: what you need to cut your hand is a stanley knife with a sharp blade and then try cutting mounts with it

Preferably attached to someone else.

A lady asked about framing a dress. (A little one that she wore when she was a child). I said yes.... but it would be quite expensive and I couldn't do it for a few weeks. She said "well maybe I'll buy a cheap frame from IKEA or somewhere and put it in that." Right. Take the back off - put in dress - replace back - sit on it - jump up and down on it - bring it round to me and complain.
