I have had both of these mitre guides for the last 2 years for use on my table saw and router table. On the router table the guide sguide slides in a standard 19mm T track. The saw has a sliding table and I have clamped the guide bar into one of the 2 slots. UJK technology. Current price £100...

So at what stage does a joint change. If you look at the z design with plywood ends then if instead it was made out of solid with a loose tongue bridle joint at the top and bottom it would be just as strong. I think that the answer depends on how wide the diagonal is, what type of wood is used...

I went yesterday and came away £400 lighter. Some nice second hand paring chisels, a micrometer, an auriou rasp and a dozen sheets of very nice burr veneer Ian

Bought the EZ , iGaging, calipers from Peter at Harrogate. Excellent advise both through the forum and on the day. No zero errors and really easy to use Thanks Ian

Im going to Harrogate on Friday. If anybody would like a lift from Chester area drop me a PM. I am leaving early to miss traffic No smoking, No politics and definitely no Brexit. Buy us a drink or 2 of coffee otherwise no cost as Im going anyway Ian

Hi Sean. Does that include postage. If so yes please. pm me how you want payment and I will sort out Ian

I generally use Western style tools but I have tried Japanese style. While found the chisel tool a fantastic edge I just didnt like the feel of it so having bought one, I havent bought any more, Planes I have never been tempted and find basic stanley/record properly set up and sharpened work...

Perhaps I have an engineer too long but I am not in favour of clocking of screws. In order to align the heads you either have to overtighten, potentially shearing the screw or partly stripping the thread in the wood. Slackening the screw to align the head means the screw isnt working...

Why dont you just ask him to give them away. I have bought from Clockie before. Top guy and really fair/cheap prices Ian

A couple of photos showing the lid stay and the hinge part way through being cut I have also put a photo of teh box part way through construction showing the corner posts which are attached to the sides/ends with splines which ensure accuracy of alignment. You can also see on the posts how...

Hi Chris. The stay was made by cutting a hinge to produce 2 small brass plates to inset into the lid and base of the box. I then drilled a hole almost the full depth of teh side and epoxied in a brass tube. 2 small hole 1.5mm dia were drilled into the recessed brass plates. The gear cable was...

Really like the feet (not the ones for the shoes). Nothing pretentious about marking quality work Ian

Time to get in Mrs Horbeams good books so 2 sheets of burr oak, some oak offcuts and some rather expensive suede later. The box is veneered 12mm birch ply. External dimension 300 X 200 X 150 The edgings are all fumed oak The 3 trays are oak with fumed oak splines and bergundy suede lining Lock...

The type of riveter depends abit on the type and size of rivets youre using. A small plier type is fine for small aluminium rivets but anything over 4.8mm or stainless rivets you really need a scissor / lazy tong type . We use both for cladding but I find the scissors much easier and also easier...

Unfortunately that is not my experience, hence the post. The pair I bought have over 0.5mm zero error due to the poor construction and allowing the jaws to misalign. I will see what is available at Harrogate but the M&W ones look like a good option Thanks everyone Ian

I have been using a standard vernier caliper fro years but somehow the markings seem to be getting smaller (perhaps eyesight is getting worse :D ) I have decided to buy a digital version. Bought 1 which was complete garbage massively out everytime you checked the zero. What makes /models of 6...

Really useful good write up Thanks Ian

Hi Pete, I managed to miss your thread earlier this year. You have got me thinking about making my own blades. I have some old planer blades which are well worn down and dont fit my planer which I might try and cut down. I light the smaller size of your shave but to me the handles are back to...
