Well my new Knew concept saw arrived today and very nice it is to, thank you guys!! One thing, I was going to order some blades from the site Derek linked, but they are all 5 inch blades, rather than 5 and one eighth as specified by Knew concept, who state clearly that shorter blades will not...

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhh..........

very nice shaving on the plane piccy Jimi..... ( Is there such a thing as shaving ****???)

Well, it went for £800. I guess we have to assume that being a craftsman and a woodworker as well, the guy who made it actually knows a bit about the subject and has not gone to all that trouble to make something that is not fit for purpose as well as being very nice to look at... but without...

Hi Derek, thanks for the info, , is this the one I need? ( I am after the woodworkers fretsaw package shown at the end of your review) http://www.palmermetals.co.uk/shop/tool ... clamp.html Cheers, Mark

hi, yes it was for dovetails. I am currently using a stanley one and find it a bit inaccurate. thanks for the tips, cheers, Mark edit, incidentally, what's the difference between a piercing saw and a coping saw? Could not see anything called a piercing saw on the palmer metals site. Using the...

Hi, i am sure that the plane buffs here are aware of this guys work, but they are new to me. It looks a lovely piece of workmanship, and pretty reasonable cost wise... shame he will not post to the UK. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 500wt_1156 Does anyone know if they are...

Hi, I am after a top quality coping saw, any recommendations? Cheers, Mark

I know what you mean, paying that kind of cash seems kinda daft, unless of course you can afford it. I did just buy a bedrock number 2 on E-bay, for what I considered a pretty good price of £200. It's needs the usual TLC, which I am very much looking forward to doing and should be a nice little...

A much easier way is to make a box frame of 25mm softwood with some cross noggins, fit that to the wall by normal plugs and screws, then clad the front , top and bottom with whatever thickness of plain or veneered MDF you like and voila...... cheers, Mark

Hi Blister, was it from Ebay?

I just had our 3 chickens ripped to pieces in the night by a fox - it did not even eat any of them, just mindless slaughter. I hate them!! Get the council out to capture and kill them. Trouble is, lots of people think they are cute and cuddly and even feed them, causing massive problems, as they...

You can pick these up for approx £25 - £30 on ebay, so don't pay more. Check out the guide and make sure its in good or at least re-storable condition Cheers, Mark

Hi perhaps I used the wrong descriptor, the blades I got are too deep, not wide, sorry, they are about 25mm deep, the ones currently in my machine are approx 17mm deep and no slotted back. Just had a quick look at the cutting solutions website and could not see any blades my size in the...

can anyone here help? I was given a scary price of nearly £200 for a set of TCT blades from NMA ( I think..) for the German ones, I brought some TCT from axminster, to fit most 260mm wide machines, but guess what, they are too wide for my machine. They were however only £45. Now I have to send...

I imagine that they would be very good, as they are very thick - I was going to buy one at the woodworking show and handled it, its a lovely piece of metal for sure! However, its almost certain that you will have to widen the throat on the planes by filing, ( I am sure you knew that already...

OK, thanks for the advice. I cut one in half and it looks ok ish, but the consensus seems to be don't waste your time.

Hi, we have recently installed a cantilevered staircase, with wenge treads. These have become slightly damaged by some other trades while working, there are some light scratches and very small depressions. what would be the best way to repair these ? Cheers, Mark

Hi , does anyone know where you can buy this product? It was recommended in Fine woodworking magazine, which is American. If not, can anyone recommend a good alternative available here in the UK? It is tung oil based wiping varnish. Cheers, Mark

I have salvaged 2 logs of Eucalyptus from the garden of a job we are on, was told by the Australian owner that it makes good lumber. Firstly, does it and would it be worth the trouble of preparing the logs? I will only get small planks from them, enough for boxwork etc. Secondly, I am...
