That's a really diverse mix there sploo and another fellow Bjork afficionado. I'm the same, all over the gamut, particular favorites are pretty much everything from the late 70's, all the 80's, Kenny Loggins (soundtracks from Footloose and Top Gun being a real "wind the wndows down and crank it...

This can be true regarding edits, which is why I generally used to add edits under "edit: blah blah" as it's own paragraph etc. My reasoning to adding edits to the original post is as others have said elsewhere, many (most?) people will often read only the OP plus maybe a half dozen replies so...

I made a set based off a design from a sadly now passed previous member. It's essentially this - a long wide(ish) sturdy bit of plywood with a slot in it for a bolt to attach to a mitre slot runner (or clamping style) to make it wood width adjustable and a semi springy metal bar with small...

Not seen that design before bit I can see how it would be better than my standard nippers as above. I use mostly reclaimed timber so if I get a particulatly vexatious (word of the day) nail I'll use a small plug cutter in a guide (wood with hole in) to cut down a bit to reveal more of the nail...

It's a flippant answer for those thinking of doing this in the future but still true - a 6ft long, spirit level (checked to be straight you would be surprised how many are not), packers and lots of checking. Use more screws if you have to, to pull any twist out of the lining sides (has happened...

He sharpened and set the teeth? What's his number?

Same as D_W, nowt, but I have just bought myself a Starrett 18AA automatic centre punch - been thinking I should get one for a while and Mikej460 seems pleased with his, so that's as good a recommendation as any. I also suspect I might be getting a very handy cramer silicone profiling / tooling...

I'm a bit bolshy, so I would bring this to the attention of the advertising standards - with proof you paid £19.99 just a few days previous. This is exactly the reason they exist.

I know you said you "weren't getting into it" but I have to agree with all the posts about this not being ivory. Even without the yellowing etc the table is very mundane, cheap woods have been used with not just "unremarkable" grain but outright "too bloody busy" grain - it's cheap tat made for...

I generally refer to myself as just a "maker" as wood isn't the only medium I use, though the majority of the woodworking I've done is "furniture" - a table, freestanding shelving, several desks now, two bespoke fire surrounds, several other things. To date I've made just one box! AJS - I...

Good standard practice, except ideally the adhesive should get into the void between the plaster and the lathe - above that it's not doing a lot of good, as the problem is almost always the plaster has blown from the lathe, not the lathe from the supports above - how exactly do you "glue" lathes...

As a person in the trade it's worth doing ANYWAY and well document it, make a "house file" of renovations you do to the home, including copies of invoices etc etc. PICTURES - lots of pictures, where plumbing and wiring is under floors etc etc. Put that file in digital format on a pen drive and...

For making of jigs an such JSK-koubou. This guy has made some exceptional jigs, some that are forehead slapping "why didn't I think of that"? He's made his own version of Bridge City tools sliding saw cutter thing, which looks just as good if not better.

I really like that - I have long (shoulder length) hair, viking style and a normal brush is a pita to untagle it after washing etc - you've inspired me to try to make a better one to do it in stages like they do for drawing out hemp - lol but without the nails. I've got some thinnish offcuts of...

You need to watch YT channel "Pask Makes".

Curious grain to the "damascus" (but not really) steel - how was the billet formed and drawn and from what? Cannister or sections of different steels? It's quite unusual to have such a marked delineation of grain, normally far more "uniform", limited as that gets in damascus steel. It looks...

Hi also from Bristol - are there some specific tools or machines you are looking for as I've been considering selling a few of mine that basically never get used - One of which is an axminster TS200 table saw I don't use - I bought it to replace a Kity419, but I use the kity much more often.

Auldfart, that is a fantastic poem (?) - Always been in awe of the people that can do this.

If the thick end of £250 isn't to your liking, there are multiple YT vids for making your own and about half the cost or less, depending on which version you choose from which do include extruded aluminium frames etc, that are just as good and accurate. The actual parts of an incra can all be...

Can anyone explain why when I click on the above link for the photo of the milwaukeee packout boxes I get: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "milwaukee packout organiser style inserts box's / bins 3d printed | eBay" on this server. Reference #18.d73f655f.1667143604.2e062f66 I...
