This is exactly what I was thinking, If I have slightly cambered blade, then I cannot get perfectly flat face, i.e. I will have waves across the width of the face, even though they will be very small. If my blade is perfectly straight, I will get grooves made by the edges of the blade. So it is...

Thank you. I will try to use those Narex Chisels for mortising as well and If it will be difficult, I can buy mortising chisels from Narex as well. They have some. I have not seen pig stickers in my country, maybe in Germany there will be some available, or they can be ordered from ebay.co.uk as...

The problem that most of us are not trained under some very experienced master, who can show us what is good and what is bad. From the youtube videos we get some insight, but there are some gaps where we can only guess. We can only guess answers to question what is sharp, what is straight and...

I already have a similar solid engineer's square, it works pretty well. I use my cheap combination square for locking a dimension and transfering the same dimension to multiple places.

Thank you very much. That review will help me a lot. I do not want to buy chisels where one piece costs 50+ Euros, if I can get the job done with these Narex chisels as well. Do you also use mortising chisels or these bench chisels can handle mortising decently as well?

I can buy this set of 4 chisels for only 33 €. They are not Narex Richter ( those cost the same, but per piece). These chisels have a handle of hornbeam, so they may last some use. I do not know much about the quality of the steel for this line.

Hello, I would like to ask if there is an acceptable gap between the straight edge and the wood when checking along the width of the board when hand planing the face or edge when hand joining the edges for glueing. I have seen many videos on the subject where instructors tell that no light...

Thank you Tom for your reply. I have a 300 mm , 600 mm stainless ruler and I have an aluminium 1500 mm straight edge. I would like to also buy 1000 mm stainless ruler. So I will be more then equipped with rulers. As for combination square, I can buy Soba here, but as far as I know, it is made...

Thank you very much. I will definitely consider a good light, as I have a very decent overhead light, but I need to be positioned in only one way to get the light. Multiple lights will definitely help.

To my sharpening knowledge, I know the tools, the procedures and I have tried several schools of sharpening. I can get thin shavings with my planes, but I cannot say if this is the sharpest I can get, as I have nothing to compare to. I have never been face to face with a woodworker who can show...

Thank you very much for all your answers. I will definitely check The Anarchist's Toolchest. I am currently reading the Anarchist Workbench, which can be downloaded free as PDF from Lost Art Press. I like Chris ' style so I will check his other book. I already watch videos of people like Paul...

Hello, I would like to apologise for a long post and using metric units only in my post. I have started my woodworking hobby recently and I would like to set up my shop. I have decided for spacial and practical reasons to use only hand tools (except for powered hand drill – unless there is any...
