I definitely don't do carpentry as a business, (it's my weekend hobby away from the metal I work with all week), but if I make something that I consider good enough, I'll sell it. I've had a fair few people ask me to make them stuff, and as I don't really like saying 'No', my standard reply is...

Chunks go to neighbors with log burners, sawdust goes in the big green garden waste bin - it's just plant material at the end of the day (I don't use mdf or chipboard, and very little ply).

Got mine today - thank you very much :)

The last thing I can suggest is links from the site I put up in my original post www.recordhandplanes.com/links.html It's got links to such places as "The Hand Tool Preservation Association of Australia", " The Traditional Tools Group" and "New Zealand Vintage Tool Collectors Club". Sounds...

Also, Matt Estlea has a couple of very good free courses on YT that you can watch while you wait for one to come up. Dovetailed Box Making Course. Small Cabinet Course

I don't have any advice - (plenty of plane restoration vids on YT) - but that unusual looking frog caught my eye. Dating Record Handplanes It looks a bit like this one, without the bottom cut out.

I promised a few people I'd try and keep a wip log of this project - I sort of, kind of succeeded. Like most people I tended to get stuck into the job and forgot all about the photo's. I took them when I remembered and hopefully it's enough to show the process I used. I was asked by a very good...

No one mentioned Doug at Cutting Solutions ? People here suggested him to me years ago, a bit pricier but brilliant stuff. The pic is one of their blades compared to a Freud - both blades are the same size and the same amount of teeth.

Simple money boxes.

I've had pva that's sat in my unheated UK workshop for 3 winters or more. While I wouldn't risk gluing anything up when the temp is below about 10c, once things warm up in the spring it's perfectly fine to use. (Mainly I use Titebond 3, Gorilla and Evostick pva's)

Not for that one, but I'm making a new project (a games board for a pub) that's very similar, I do have a few for that, I'll post them up soon

If you only need a few, and can provide a drawing, I might be able to cnc some for you.
