I did message the seller at the time about the dangers of the tealight and that the plane bodies are soaked in linseed oil when they are made, so a bespoke fire starter, his reply was enigmatic. Dilligaf. I had to look it up. (when I checked his profile he was at least 60 odd - should know...

When you say "detail sander" do you mean one with a pointy end? The B&D "Mouse" is pretty good for light work- doors and basic DIY, has a pointy end for corners and attachements for certain shapes too - I've have about 4 or 5 over the years. £25 ish - argos, amazon etc. For sanding pads DON'T...

Come to Bristol - it's still free so far; and I hope it stays that way - charging for wood indeed, ludicrous - where are people going to dump thier mangy old garden furniture and broken beds?

lol do you have that quote on a macro or summat Phil? That's at least the third time I've seen you post that.

That's a very serious bench - thanks for sharing.

Sounds interesting - pics plz !

Don't even get me started. Mandatory driving test every 5 years, fail it once, get a retest, fail twice and you're banned for 6 months. Drive during any driving ban, from this or anything else = £5000 fine or seizure of goods. If you don't have the goods or money - chain gang doing community...

... does that mean the drawer bottom is then rebated to fit the 4mm groove?

Youtube threw this vid at me - I'm glad it did, and more than a little stunned by the complexity of this item, all crafted with basic hand tools. Enjoy :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBQF_6TQks0 (and I thought the guy making wooden pliers out of one bit of wood was impressive...)

Whoops! - didnt realise it was knotty pine, so absolutely use the sanding sealer, but hit the whole thing, rather than just the knots, in the past I've found the "splodges" of knotting being visible as slightly proud of the rest of the surface under the paint - most annoying. All veneered ply...

Pictures would help. Do you want the grain of the softwood or hardwood panels - if softwood there is a way to accentuate it so it's not diminished by the paint. Do you want a "solid showroom white" effect or an "aged white" ? As far as the painting for a "showroom white" - no easy shortcuts...

A possible question to check on; is cactus juice hard enough to turn on it's own, or do pen turners add another step after? If it is, then that might be all that's needed? If Matt wants coloured versions then I guess he'd have to go down the pressure route. Also, are there vaccum pumps that...

Well blow me... look at all those great ideas - none of which would have occurred to me. And I've decided how I can have the best of both systems - my front rail is going to get it's own removable auxiliary face with a step to match the vice, I'm also going to make it taller so it also becomes...

Interesting and food for thought - but my counterpoint would be that seeing as how a 52 opens up so far, could you not build it in flush, then add another auxillary (auxillary :)) face to make it proud of the rail if "it had lumps on"?

Sounds very much like the holdfasts eriktheviking uses - record iirc Is the collar blue and have 3 screw holes? IS there a corresponding square plate underneath? if yes it could be this: https://www.rpwoodwork.com/blog/2017/11 ... -holdfast/

Steve I have to ask if you are going to scribe infills at the sides? If yes then could the crown moulding go right across and touching as you say without looking "wierd"? If not, I'm curious as to why not? - the infills, or the crown or both :)

As per the title - I'm getting ready to fit a generously donated (by Eriktheviking) Record 52 1/2 vice - but I'm wondering about the auxillary faces. A quick search got me loads of hits but nothing specific to my question so here it is: Do I add a bit of spring to the outer edges of the front...

OP... you're new here aren't you. Two things we don't talk about - fight club, and sharpening. Both usually end in tears and bloody noses. Yes it's ironic that one of the most important aspects of woodworking, keeping tools sharp, causes so much aggro - but it usually does, go figure.

Before you spend that kind of money why not look into the self adhesive tapes with measurments on?

Hmm I do have a brace sitting around somewhere, no idea on bits for it though.
