I used to do quite a bit of woodworking until we converted our garage and I no longer had the room for many of the woodworking tools so I sold them.<\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\">What I kept were, chop saw, Router\/router table and a linisher. The Router\/router table, until a couple of weeks ago was in my loft so not accessible for regular use and my linisher while slightly more accessible by being under my workbench had only seen the light of day once in the last 5 years.<\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\">Prompted by getting something out of the loft I decided to get the\u00a0Router\/router table and the linisher out and take them to the other house where I have a dry brick built garage that&#8217;s alarmed. Fast forward to this weekend and I decided to start making use of them so used the linisher to prepare all the partitions for the twin set. Each one needed to be profiles to fit the vacuum formed Kirk roof and it certainly made a much easier job of the 17 or so partitions plus the coach ends.<\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\">\n<div id=\"attachment_3391\" style=\"width: 2314px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3391\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3391\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3391\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3391\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2304\" height=\"1728\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3.jpg 2304w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0004-3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2304px) 100vw, 2304px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3391\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ian Kirk coach partitions<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_3392\" style=\"width: 2314px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=3392\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3392\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3392\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3392\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2304\" height=\"1728\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3.jpg 2304w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_0003-3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2304px) 100vw, 2304px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3392\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Preparing Ian Kirk coach partitions using a Linishing machine<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\"><\/div>\n<div data-redactor=\"1\">I reckon what I achieved today would have taken at least a couple of weekend&#8217;s work to achieve filing by hand.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My recent lathe purchase has started me thinking about making the most of some of my other tools.
