My guess is that the work isn't quite square concerning lateral adjustment of the plane, and that is where the other noticeable error is coming from. If you've got some short bits, i.e twice the length of a small matchbox to shoot both long grain, and see if they will pair together on something...

Some say... these are recycled from the leaf springs of cursed vehicles, so you're definitively onto something there! The trick to getting these to work nicely, is knowing that the spirit is displeased about being separated from it's original incarnation, so one has a few options at their...

Red Grandis is seemingly this timber, not particularly nice to look at, nor very hard. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/where-to-buy-timber-and-is-it-really-cost-effective.108026/#post-1176586 Not heard of Gombe before. Now, the issues of work-ability to me, doesn't have any factor. That's...

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I seem to recall Bob had a in depth video on the subject, but maybe it were someone else, which Bob suggested, or something or other. I tried looking through Bob Loss's Youtubes, with no luck, though some wee videos simply demonstrating the performance of the bell...

Hello, can't give you the link for this, so if really interested, then an advanced search on the Auzzie woodworking forums site, entering "bell mouth" into the keywords, by member "BobL" He made a presentation of the improvements, IIRC, which I found quite interesting. All the best Tom

Thanks folks Seems one could use both Sachakins suggestion and also the Boolean terms at the same time. Presumably this only works with google, and not in the youtube search bar. I tried searching just now in YT for Parkside arc welder NOT mig, which didn't seemingly work but I'm not sure if...

Hello folks, just wondering if some might be able to tell me how I can find an older video, or indeed a categorical list of oldest videos first on YT, This would be very handy to know, instead of going through the newest or most popular videos due to the system (tinfoil hat emoji) seemingly...

Affordable carbide tipped blades are on the horizon!

It seems you're new to reading bandsaw threads, as the last paragraph you wrote assumes that every bandsaw is fully adjustable, when infact none are, bar very few larger older ones, with motors which can be rotated to align with the upper wheel. The contemporary ethos/design of all, is...

Snap, I've got some ACME from an old vice, and also some similar stuff. I'd like to know also, for again. Have you looked up Chronos UK? Guessing those guys are probably the closest thing to McMasterCarr in the EU?

Trouble is...once you do one! :):):):):):):)

I made those for my bandsaw, Bob has plans for those if you've got some 40, 50, and 60mm box iron, I had only thin wall box, so I added a bit more flat on the underside of the 40mm lever, and welded a lip to make the end blunter, as I cut the toe of my boot with these before...

Perhaps so, perhaps not. Seems a few commercial overhead guards aren't intended for such, some of them freely can be moved, so not much good, but possibly only to merely suggest sheet goods from buckling, but not stop it from happening, along with being helpful to stop debris from flying. I'd...

For such a blade, this might be of interest, just for the odd time perhaps, an interesting idea from Sam Blasco which costs nothing...

Great looking job on the machine, but you might want to turn some attention to that awkward looking crown guard. Infact you'd be better off with a regular one, and I suppose I could take it off your hands if it's just gathering dust. Thanks for posting. Tom

Silly "doctors" have recently suggested that 7 grams of cannabis.... equates to 4 bottles of vodka!. :unsure: Perhaps they meant those miniature novelty ones? :)

Had a good laugh at this today.

Plenty of folks made them on the luthier forums like the OLF, should you wish to see more. I was going to make one, before I seen what a hand plane can do. No dust and no clogging belts, makes little sense to me now. Tom

Not many folks have an ash bench, and surprised to read it's light weight, I've not noticed that from the wee bits which I have. The question could boil down to whether you do metalwork on the bench, or indeed some other bench activity involving grit. The open grain from the ash might be...
