That was really enjoyable, thank you for sharing. I will watch Rob's later. When you took the wood down, I was thinking "such a bow on that wood" then I realised you were in wide angle lens. 😂
Thanks Roger, well done for persevering and sticking to the rules, of course it would have been much easier with the chop saw and also using thinner stock with more layers, but then that's the nature of a challenge ! I wonder how it would look with angled cuts ? 🤔 There's normally a knob or (grub)screw to adjust the tracking on the belt sander if you haven't got the manual try looking up a similar one they're all quite similar !
Hi Roger, apart from the wood it's all Parkside, this is a good challenge with Rob. You have done well great little Christmas tree hope it was fun to make it was great to watch. As always a great video, take care
Hey Roger......good challenge but think Rob may have edged you...... With the sander there should be an adjuster know or screw to alter the roller angle which keeps the belt in place. As others have mentioned it is always good to use a sacrificial board underneath but for this I would have just made a little jig the width of your timber then fit a square guide wood sor your saw....easy then just pop it in and perfect cuts to where you want. ....will go through your back catalogue over the next few weeks so expect a few more comments. Its all good
That was fun. Nice build. When using your track/plunge saw, it would be safer (and also produce a better cut) if you placed it on the workbench with a sacrificial piece underneath and either side of the piece. using double sided tape to keep everything in place if you can't get a clamp to it. Also with the belt sander, would be safer to either clamp it down or bolt it down - moving power tools that should be stable, are not great. Regarding the slipping belt on the sander, i wonder if the drum at the far end needs expanding. There's usually a hex screw that allows for them to be loosened and tightened. Have a great Christmas! 🎄

Thanks Adam and I agree Rob outdid himself. I have looked for a grub screw or other but can't find it. I just need to look at other reviews.
Many years ago when I was starting out as an engineer, I was told centimeters were a measurement for dressmakers.
Ha ha
