It is a shame you removed the patina from the handle and tote. The earlier ones were Rosewood but this one looks like Beech. Maybe you could find some old Rosewood furniture for it but leave the finish intact this time. I bought some beautiful Brazilian Rosewood furniture for a Record No 7 from...

I would say, Olive Ash- what does it smell of?

The saw is as new, I just have not found a need for it. Bought for £319.00, Sensible offer considered otherwise I will hang on to it, includes shop made machine table Dewalt Guarantee blank- papers and instructions- buyer collect West Yorkshire- or could ship, would have to check cost of this- PM me

For that sort of money one would be better buying a vintage Stanley original and fitting it out with modern irons and still have change left over. Also they are very tedious to use unless you have a very specific requirement. I wish you luck selling it but the market is so limited for this type...

Thank you for this, there certainly seems to be plenty to choose from

Thank you, I looked at the Standard Round Fluorescent Magnifier Lamp [PLA8064] at £59.95 looks very much like the Anglepoise but you think it might be more substantial ? The Shesto website looks very interesting but I think the jury is still out on magnifier lights. I do not want a dedicated...

As I now have a bus pass and free prescriptions I am contemplating buying an Anglepoise Magnifier Light to assist close work on things like dovetail and the like. I wondered if anyone has experience of using one of the and whether they also double as a task light for general illumination over a...

Pure accident, I thought I had posted onto this thread but could not find it. It was only after re posting I discovered this- believe me if you like- but I am OK with that

One other point whilst we are on the subject of warranty and guarantees. I believe that dealers who post on this forum should declare their interest which would obviously put a different slant on the comments they make. What do others think about this? _________________

Re the comment regarding blade tensioning. I have not had any problems fitting and tensioning a 3/4" meat and fish blade on my saw albeit the 1/2" meat and fish blades from Hamilton Edge perform equally well in fact I have just ordered two new ones this evening. Regarding warranty upgrades I...

I take Joe's point but I would say to Joe- Have you tried one of these new breed of saws?. I have and there is no comparison with vintage saws the new ones are in another league. And yes, vintage planes are only superior to modern mass produced ones because of the seasoning and quality of the...

No but I can highly recommend band-saw blades from Hamilton Edge. Their 1/2" and 3/4" meat and fish blades are superb for re sawing and producing veneer. Their major advantage is the narrow kerf which is worth considering on expensive figured hardwoods. For what it is worth I buy hardwood from...

If it is going begging I would love it. And yes I would say that it is a saw setter

The picture you posted looks like a lovely old saw but they cannot match the performance of the modern super saws now available. Last year I bought a Lei- Neilsen dovetail saw and a Lei- Neilsen small carcass saw. They are superb and i would not be without them. Also the dovetail saw is...

I read your post and saw the illustration of what looks like an early Kunz No4 smoother. Old tools are far better than modern ones as the quality of the castings is far superior. Firstly, I would re-assemble the plane complete with the existing blade. I would then proceed to lap the sole on...

I read your note and personally have a lot of experience with this particular model which I purchased when it was first introduced. There have been many modifications since it was launched and I strongly recommend that you speak to Allan at Record Power whom I have always found to be very...
