Looks like an ammunition box to me. N34 is a size specification. Then I think MK11955 will be Mark one, 1955.

I'd like the frame saw and drill bits. PM sent

I succumbed. Thank you Brian. It was a pleasure to meet you and I've very pleased with my new plane.

Ummm. Having played around with some different handsaws recently, the speed he's cutting through that wood looks about right to me. It's what a decent rip saw will do. But .... definitely Quebec yellow pine Pinus strobus

I think I may be in a similar place on the learning curve of chair making. My main recommendation so far is to try cutting tapered holes in some thick hardwood scrap wood. It's not straightforward because the holes aren't perpendicular. That means the taper cutter hits one side of the hole first...

Nice. I need to stop buying planes. I need to stop buying planes.

I have the smaller CXT 12V TM30DZ multitool that has been great for everything I've pointed it at. My first step into Makita tools was the CLX203AJX1 multipack which comprises the HP331D Combi Drill, TM30D Multi-Tool. I really like the compact nature of the CXT tools and they are my go to for...

Looks great ... but has someone stolen your tree?

Graham Blackburn released a video a couple of days ago on plough planes and it includes a description of the blades used.

That looks an interesting site. I see they seem to do the same saw. Price is a little more but includes shipping. However, they do a saw vice!!! I don't need one (have an old one and I'd look to make one if I needed to improve on it), but that's the only new one I've seen anywhere. It says...

There were a couple of extras too (about 25 euros worth) but the whole lot came to 205 euros including German VAT and shipping (19 euros). I was refunded 34 euros (the VAT). I then paid £39 on import - which includes both the UK VAT and handling charge. So about £15 more than original price all...

Absolutely empathise with this. There are so many interesting tools and accessories on the site.

I've been looking at the fine-tools.com web site for a while; particularly at some tools that don't seem to be available from UK sellers. I'd been put off buying from the site as I wasn't sure how the import would work out since we left the EU. Well a couple of weeks ago I thought sod it and put...

Wow!

Everything seemed to "have your eye out" if it went wrong

The great woodworking expense for me is the cost of things I bought that I now realise I don't need.

@HamsterJam I had a little play with my CamVac earlier. I can confirm that if I cover/seal the outlet from the motor that's not running, then the vac is a lot more effective running on one motor. It looks like I need to looking at getting or making some sort of cap for the outlet.

Surpressing tram lines is my understanding of the purpose of rounding the blade edges. However, I have a slightly different approach. On smoothing planes I find the slight camber I put on the blade by applying extra pressure on each side of the blade for a few strokes during sharpening, is...

One of the other advantages of traditional saws is that they have wooden handles, so you can shape them to suit your own hands with the tools you already use in your woodwork.
