Andy40's Semi-scratch build

[FrankenWashie]

I'd love to get one but it seems to get anything decent costs a fair bit - which model do you have?

And how did you do yours Andy?

In the past I've got the guys at Anagote - my favourite purveyor of wood stuff - to do it when I purchased timber. Now I've got a couple of pine blanks that I wish I could do easily.

AH Anagote. All of my Maple stock (Sadly depleted) and the Wenge and Beech I am working with came from them. Though the mahogany i got from Crescent Timber and Hardware.

The Thicknesser i bought is the 13" Carbatec Spiral head unit. It wasn't cheap, but i feel it was worth the money.

It goes really well It whizzed through Rock Maple, Wenge and some African Mahogany, it won't notice Pine. I still actually have to set up a separate bench for it but its compact enough that it can be man handled up onto my existing workbench.

If you are around the Inner west then admission to the FrankenLab can be negotiated just PM me.

That's a very generous offer that I would be very excited to take you up on! It'll make getting back in the saddle for the I'll PM shortly. Gotta dig this community.

EDIT: that sentence should read: It'll make getting back in the saddle for the scratch build that died much easier!
