Hello all, Here's a couple of pics of two old record planes a no 5 1/2 and a no 4 which were kindly given to me. They are in a poor state, although with a lot of effort I suppose they could be restored, but to what end? I just wonder if it would be a worth while project. I already have a...

What ho Andy, welcome to the forum. I am sure you will find this a very friendly and helpful place. Not so sure about your taste in garments though, one or two of those shirts look like they have been fashioned from deck chair material :). I must introduce you to my tailor. I like the furry...

Hello there cats, I am planning on turning out for this event. I will be staying at a place called "The Lord Poulett Arms" on Friday night. In a place called Hinton St George. I will have to leave very early to get to the show Friday afternoon, as I have a job to do in Birmingham on the way...

Hello there Spoon, I would like to suggest you have a look at the Veritas (Lee Valley) low angle jack plane. This is a very easy plane to set-up, is top quality and very versatile. This is the first plane that I bought and I use it all the time. Thereafter, a little block plane is very...

One can always wait for Axminister to make another **** with their pricing and snap up some bessey bargains as one or two members may recall. :wink:

Hello there Tony, I would like to suggest you have a look at the Jet JDP - 10M. The baby brother of the 13 mentioned in your list. I am sure I only paid about £150 for mine. It is a very well made machine, 43kg, it has more than adequate power 390w for any drilling job I have thrown at it. It...

Thanks for your thoughts Mike. I am going to have a closer look at the Jet machines and will report back. Cheers, Tony.

Jamie, I would endorse fellow members views here, and return the item. Incra are a quality product and it should be perfect. I have the incra mitre gauge and it is excellent. It should last a lifetime and on that basis it should be perfect from the get go. Good luck, Tony

Hello Al, Your quite right, I called in the other day to see Barry at Dog Lane, he said he would be getting a machine in sometime soon and I could call and have a look then. I was going to show him the £899 offer to make him "sharpen his pencil" and see if he wanted to do a trade in for my...

Thanks fellas for the guidance, I am going to have a look at these machines and , mull over whether I should treat myself and upgrade from the Scheppach. I have seen the 310 on the fleebay for £899 + vat and that seems a very fair price for a machine of that spec and quality. All the best, Tony

Hello there all, A quick question or two regarding these machines which seem well respected on the forum. When changing from planning mode to thicknessing mode I can see from pictures of the machines that the tables lift together - do they need much clearance behind? Does the fence stay in...

Can't wait to see the pics, it is great having new toys....sorry tools to play with. :D Good luck trim, cheers, Tony

Hello there Anti, I am also interested in this subject. I was wondering if this material was suitable for insulating my workshop? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=019 Is it appropriate to just fit this between the frame sandwiched between the outer T & G boards and the...

Very nice Karl, my bench has an 18mm plywood top. When it gets a bit rough, I can easily replace it. I suspect you will be able to do something similar. I like your vice as well, much better than my little jobby. What is that orange thing hanging down on the wall? It looks like a tripod is...

If there was such a thing as a UKworkshop "Hall of Fame" for service, products and just generally being top notch. Ian at Dragon would get my vote for induction. :D Tony.

Gary, That is very good advice. I agree with your opinion. The Liberon Lubricating wax is an excellent product. I have used it on my P/T and bandsaw to good effect. No rust either. :) Cheers, Tony

I seem to remember that he was a peanut farmer. :lol:

God that picture of me is rough. :shock: It is no wonder I look so bad, the night before on the slash :P , got up early 6.00am 'ish from memory, three hour drive, no coffee, not a morsel to eat... Sadly I will have to give tomorrow a miss. Hope you all have a great time and travel safely...

Jason, Chippy's mate in Norwich may be able to help. They have odd handles and made up a set for me for the office kitchen. I think they were a discontinued line. Here is the link; http://www.chippysmate.co.uk/ Might be worth a try. Tony.

I must say this is very good news, and I hope the new business venture succeeds. I have no experiance of rasps generally but the four auriou rasps I have are excellent tools. I am so glad I have them. Tony.
