    Rutlands tools

    I've bought there parallel clamps and have no issues with them. I've also bought a few marking and measurement tools, again no issues. I do think it matters what you buy. But for me there life time guarantee makes buying from them a safe bet. If it fails - send it back for a no quibble...

    Game Changing Tools

    For me it's my sharpening method. Understanding what sharp is and being able to quickly produce it with repeatable results. Nothing has moved my results forward more.

    Concrete wall in garage

    2 thoughts: 1. You could use construction glue and dot & dab 18mm ply (or whatever you want) directly to the blocks. 2. If the DIY drilling doesn't work out, you may wish to pay a professional drilling company (Drillcut) to drill/screw 4x2"s to your wall for you to work with. Personally I'd...

    Thinking of pulling the trigger on a Clifton 5 1/2

    Thinking of getting the Clifton 5 1/2 to replace my £20 record Jack plane. Does anyone have any comments or concerns with quality/build etc? Some old reviews about 8-10yrs ago talk of casting issues and then not being quite perfect but still good. Has anyone bought a Clifton plane recently...

    Light fitting replacement

    Size isn't everything I'm told :unsure: Check the ratings and talk to your supplier - they are usually very helpful in working out your needs.

    Trimming door bottom

    The secret to a clean cut is to scribe a line with a cutting gauge first. Then use a hand saw or track saw for perfect results. (Taught to me by my original apprenticeship master, far too long ago now)

    Much excitement - Record Sabre 350 bandsaw ordered

    I was surprised by this post. My chip ITECH extractor does an amazing job of picking up all dust etc. It does sit next to my bandsaw with a hose length of 1m So maybe its an extractor issue rather than a bandsaw issue. Just my experience...
