Nice work Pete. I've got to echo Marcros' comment. Oils (linseed, finishing, danish, etc) will yellow it over time. I havent used ash for a while, but I have a board of offcuts of various species. A couple of months I gave it a coat of osmo polyx and the lighest woods (maple and sycamore)...

I put some D4 into a cleaned out washing up liquid bottle and came it out very easily...a bit too easily at times #-o

Glad to hear it went well and you're on the road to recovery. As for non metallic rings, I recall seeing quite a few youtube woodworkers wearing qalo rings. I think they have an eu website.

If you do suffer from phantom limb pain, you could always build a mirror box and let us know if it actually works. I remember seeing it on an episode of House. As much as I enjoyed that programme, some of it was complete bollocks. I was actually correct about the goalkeeper. I love how my brain...

:shock: mate, you're a complete mad man (hammer) I mean that in a nice way, it sounds like nothing gets you down. A good quality.

To carry on with the wedding ring accident theme.. When I was much younger and didn't detest football, I recall a goalkeeper (think it was the Argentina naitional team) getting his wedding ring caught on the goal post net hooks and nearly ripping his finger off.... I may have imagined that...

Shape of the jaws, makes me think its a hose clamp.

Phil? I'm guessing zt plate is a zero clearance insert. Removed due to blade being bevelled, maybe.

Agreed. =D>

Waiting a hour for an ambulance, sounds like a bit of a piss take to me. Must have been a busy time or somet. Last time I called an ambulance (2015) was for my mum. It wasnt life threatening but not trivial either and they arrived in 10 minutes on a Friday morning.

wow..I'm really sorry to hear about your accident Pete :( My toes were curling, reading how the accident happened. I admire your resilience.

I questioning the same thing, hence why I posted here before I started filing teeth off. As standard, the veritas rip tenon has nearly the same rake as the rip (around 15 deg) , which is a bit unusual. I didnt change the rake much when I filed it rip. Next time I sharpen it, i'll make the...

Thanks Derek. Its a veritas, I'm sure you'll know, the dimensions are similar to the Wenzloff. I got the 12tpi crosscut, as it was second hand at a decent price. It needed sharpening, so I left it at 12 and filed it rip and its been fine ever since, a tad slow though. I've been using some pretty...

Is a blue heeler a relation to the Aussie herding dog? Hes exceedingly cute Moose (great name) also looks too cute.

yeah, it looks good Nick. A good thing about your bench is it'll be easy to add a vice when you start hand tool work. I've got a wide apron bench so it involved a bit of cutting to fit the vice, you should be able to just bolt one on. Re: work surface. If you're concerned about the top getting...

I learned in a similar situation but, conversely, the Wadkin table saw was the only thing with a guard. Myself, and the other apprentices, often got lumbered having to use an unguarded spindle moulder and a panel saw with no guard or riving knife. You learn to respect those very quickly.

Just enquiring what on what tpi you have on your tenon saws. I think Veritas is 9 and LN is 10 but I'm not sure of other brands. I'm considering retoothing my tenon saw to a lower tpi (currently at 12, was thinking of 10). I have a smaller 14tpi back saw for finer cuts. Any advice (even if...

:D You'd get on well with my dad, hes all for bartering. He lives by the same mantra 'if you dont ask..' Unfortunately I'm the opposite, I lack the confidence and patience. I'd be the one paying full whack :( I still havent got round to going, but as I alluded to above..I'll probably end up...

Nick, the 'expensive' option are these https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-w ... ors-507151 Ive never used them but in one of Paul Sellers bench builds, he fitted these. Not sure if he purchased from axminster. They only lift the bench a small amount so if you are moving over uneven ground...

Just had a quick look on the internet https://www.toolexchange.com.au/chisels ... ge-chisel/ hmm..39 dollars..I paid about £9 for my 6mm in 2004-2005 and felt like I'd wasted it :mrgreen:
