Showing that MHO is useless! I'd not seen these, they are awesome!

I have a 6x3m workshop that is not insulated, in the winter months I can run a 2kw fan heater in it all day and after 10+hrs the temperature has increased from 5degC in the morning to 12degC in the evening. When it is close to zero outside I don't bother. A large wood burner would be your only...

That doesn’t sound right to me. My DW1150 is slightly out of being coplanar but it remains the same all the time. I’ve had issues with shavings under where the beds register when going between modes.

Took the rough sawn board down flat and true. I had tried to saw it to 40mm, it came off the saw rather uneven, with the thinnest at 35mm. By the time it was planed and thicknessed it was 27mm thick. Sanded and a touch of white spirit to reveal the grain and I love it. It’s a shelf for my sons...

Lots of workshop sorting out this weekend. I made a new stand for the sander I bought a few months back. First time I’ve made anything with splayed legs since I got a mortice machine. Realised I had to have angled tenons else I’d be cutting the mortices by hand, which wasn’t happening! I like...

Blade replaced and the plane set up. I like the extra weight in the no 4 over my old Stanley. The plane really seems to suck down to the wood and have a super positive feel when in use. Testing on a piece of sycamore with a little reversing grain, nothing too tricky and I could tame it with my...

Unpacked in workshop. Fantastic quality casting and finish. No two piece cap iron, didn’t know that when ordered but don’t think I’d know if it made any difference to performance. Iron ground to 25degrees at about I guess 240grit, sharp out the box but with a burr in place. Sharpened to...

Soo…..

Sorry distracted by a vehicle passing the end of my road with a large police escort.

So after 25yrs graft I got an award from my company. A nice chunk of unfortunately vouchers, certainly not ungrateful but best I could get was Amazon. Luckily some communications with Axminster and they listed the item I wanted. It’s arrived,

Your local pharmacy can I expect order it for you. Or at least I could as a lad via my dad's ordering system in our pharmacy when I used to make NI3. F.

Don't throw it away, send it on to me when you're done ;)

Is is also round bottomed across the 15mm width, I assume so. My only thought on hand tools is you would have to make a Nag's tooth / old woman's tooth hand router with a curved blade. If you search Paul Sellers poor mans router plane, you can see how he made one with a chisel and block of wood...

I have an old gas meter and watched a few cool vids of folks using rasberry PIs and old mouses to monitor them. Looked cool and quite accessible but too much other stuff on my plate at the moment.

Any chance of a copy, I was about to build similar but easier to start from someone else's homework rather than a blank sheet! I'd come to a similar conclusion on air changes, I'd got to about 2kW of heating duty to manage said air changes. I think a forced air system with an inlet/outlet...

Apparently in baking circles that is a poor indicator of an even oven temperature. Our experimenting showed you needed about 5mins past the light going out, rather than 1hr and 45mins past it going out.

Intrigued I looked for a better quality image. I looks like it could be DougFir or similar which I find interesting, and is very on point in the furniture world as I understand. I find the design too aggressive (perhaps what MsTruss was looking for) and as others have said it does appear rather...

We have electric underfloor heating in one part of the house, we used to keep it on toasty warm, found out that was costing £600/yr on old tariffs :oops: Tumble drier uses lots (i like the drying cupboard idea with a dehumidifier that is genius). Kids spending hours in the shower, ditto others...

Very nice, what finish did you use?
