Just dropped into the site for the first time in a while, with this event in mind. :) Look forward to taking part , and thanks to Waka for being in charge again. PM sent. Cheers all, Tony.

Well done Rich. Congratulations to you and your wife. My daughter is also called Emily. :D

Hello shipmates, What a superb day Friday was, great to meet and catch up with so many forum friends. The lovely Hayley looked after me, John, charlie and Franco very well in the morning session, when we enjoyed an excellent guided tour of the very professional behind the scenes set-up. The...

I am with it, although I am not sure I know the answer. I am sure the end did not have a thread part. I think it was the same diameter. I had to have the screw machined down at the end to fit the diameter of the hole in the hand wheel. This will vary depending on your wheel. If you could make a...

Addendum, I just found the email reply from Veritas when I enquired about the screw thread diameter. I will check the diameter of the forstner bit I used, can't remember if this was 28mm or 30mm. I have been able, with some effort, to drag my bench away from the wall, the top lifts a little...

Thanks fellas for the kind comments. To respond to a few points raised; Chems, I agree with your thought in away. I do think twice about drilling into the bench or wacking it with my hammer, and have a mat for my coffee mug! :oops: Although, as the bench gets used, I suppose it will age...

That is really nice Mark. Brown oak is just fab. Well done, Tony. PS - must organise that pint sometime.

Hello fellas, here is a further update to this thread. Mark, I have included some pictures of the wagon vice set-up, and Andy you might just spot one of Richard's holdfast sitting in a dog hole keep a look out. Firstly, I would like to show some pictures of the shelf I fitted to the bottom of...

Hello Mark, I used Veritas vice screw threads for both the leg and wagon vices on my bench. The diameter of the screws were too large to fit both handwheel centre holes and I looked everywhere for handwheels the correct size, to no avail. The job of reducing the diameter was beyond my skills or...

Well fellas here is a further, much anticipated, instalment on the Roubo bench project, work undertaken last spring and summer. Picking up the thread from the previous post; I completed work on the leg vice front inlaying a piece of Rosewood at the bottom to cover the tenon for the guide, here...

Greetings to all my forum friends. Here is a picture of the lovely mallet from my secret santa. Thanks Santa, I am going to have to get my thinking cap on to work out your identity? Thanks also for the kind and thoughtful greetings in your card. Let's hope 2012 is a good year for all of us...

I say, on the basis that some of these were made and sold. Where are they now? It would be great to see one in the flesh. Tony.

Hello fellas, I feel bad that I have not got round to posting an update on the Roubo bench project which is finished. :oops: I have lots more pics of the build from the point above and promise to finish this thread, for the record. My efforts to create a leg and wagon vice (based on the...

Jacob, I am a big fan of Peter Heeschen and have four of his pipes; Danish pipe carvers are celebrated as some of the best pipe artisans in the world. I would like to have a go at making a pipe sometime. Tony.

Fellas, I am sure this is not a new idea, but it would seem to make sense. Lot of timber here for 99p http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/solid-oak-double-door-large-wardrobe-/120822616688?pt=UK_Bedroom_Furniture&hash=item1c2196d270 I also like the idea of being able to make an item and possibly...

Great set-up Rob, glad to see my marking gauge on the tool wall. :) You put me a bit to shame, as I have not yet posted photo's of my shop or the Roubo bench I made this year. :oops: I am excited about the Axminster tool open day next year, but worried that the date may clash with my...

Hello fellas, Stumbled on this interesting clip of Colen Clenton the celebrated tool maker. 8) http://www.skillsone.com.au/industry/5/manufacturing/video/210/the-toolmaker/ I liked his beard, and the look of his way of life. Tony.

Rob, I would like to join the fun as well. If I could suggest that this event was at or around the same time / day before or after, the Yandles spring show it would be great for those travelling from away. A chance to attend two events in one trip. Cheers, Tony.

Fellas, I would like to suggest sanding sealer. I painted three coats on an mdf work bench top and it is still looking good. Not sure about the Jessem router table, particularly the fence. The Kreg one looks a better design. I might be wrong? Tony

Hello fellas, Don't know if anyone has seen this clip, most peculiar. http://www.whoisthemonkey.com/videos/40/impossible-nail-through-wood-trick Tony.
