That’s quite right, and you have to be very careful, sometimes you think you’re landing at a major city but you find you’re at quite a small airport about 40 miles away – from what I’ve read!

If it was originally fitted to a caravan /campervan then that’s where you should be looking, there is a firm in Grimsby that deals in all sorts of parts for the above, sorry can’t remember the name but I know it’s on Convamore road, fascinating place to walk around there is all sorts of stuff...

I’m sorry to hear that, apart from a couple of health and safety issues I’m sure he does a good job promoting our hobby and getting people proficient in it. I suppose the problem is that as soon as you put a video up, (or even photos on here (as I found out trying to show anybody how to do...

Just for once Heimlaga I must disagree with you, I have been a bespoke cabinet maker for the last 14 years and a serious furniture maker for 50 years, The only plane I have ever used is a number four (a few of them at a time) I do possess a number 5 1/2 and funnily enough I took it out the...

I have a question, if you think about an old-fashioned racing cycle with a 5 speed derailleur block on the back wheel. And compare it to an electric vehicle (Which normally doesn’t have a gearbox it’s just a direct drive) the electric vehicle is always in fifth gear, on a bicycle this is...

I agree and I was slightly concerned about that when I first replied but then I looked at it and feel quite probably the slats do give enough support, it’s not so different to the cast iron ended ones that you can buy anywhere and they don’t rock, it would be easy enough to put a 2or3 inch wide...

Yes absolutely right, at least this guy shut up! In fact I don’t think he said much at all, a lot of them particularly Americans just waffle on and on and on.

I think you’ll find Andy that most of us don’t use plans, or if we do we’ve drawn them. I think you need to get into the habit of looking at something and working out how it was made and then put together, it takes a little bit of experience to work out what section of wood for different...

Yes, probably not the best advert and he’s going to lose the end of his thumb using his Planer the way he does at about 11 minutes 20. What really surprised me was how ham-fisted he was with a hand plane fairly early on in the vid, he had an action that was a result of always putting wood in...

Is it your thought that that style of handle was sort of reserved for patternmakers? I’ve seen one or two but they’re pretty rare so far as I know. Wonderful sets of chisels by the way, I couldn’t possibly use them all but I am feeling very envious! Ian

A major worry of an EV vehicle is coming to a halt at the side of the road, for many years to counteract that I carried a spare gallon of fuel in the boot, will we be see cars carrying their own portable generators (And a gallon of fuel) in the boot? Highly inefficient I know. Perhaps a...

Thanks @Sandyn , that’s pretty comprehensive, always loved Lego myself right from 60? Years ago, I think the first thing I got was a little box of bits that made up a small rectangular but with one curved corner, shop – really tiny, and I have a grandson who is now one year old and he’s going...

Thanks Doug, so totally wrong on the Cooper thing ha ha

I’ve certainly never seen a plane that long before – nothing even like it, anybody know what it could’ve been used for? Crossed, but why Adam?

I think you’d need to be superman to push the damn thing! I think it means made by Cooper not used by a Cooper presumably lol.

I was helping at my brother-in-law‘s eco-house recently and the T and G, OSB board was just laid straight onto the Celotex, glued to it but the osb panels weren’t glued together which I think they should’ve been. No movement in the floor whatsoever, jump up and down on a bit of Celotex it’s...

Plus £14.80 postage, that’s the kick in the nuts! It’s been relisted now and I thought it might be a little bit more realistic? But no, same price and postage and two extra photos. I don’t know how much these planes go for but that does seem a huge amount of money!

Looks good, can we see it finished pls?

If that’s the table I think it is you would find it very difficult indeed to get a cramp on near the end like that. I think I would wait and see what happens now you have it in its new setting. Welcome btw.

That’s almost a 40 a day habit you’ve developed there Danny. Nice chisels!
