How accurate is that? Reason I ask is that I've tried it with the belt sander at work but it tends to take more off the edges. I did look at a Paul Sellers video, and he even goes to the trouble of creating this unevenness, so not sure if it's a good or bad thing.

It's not doing anything to the planer bed though.

That’s a lot of nails!

Just use masonary nails, they work fine and used them for years. I do have two masonry nail guns though, will only work if the blocks are relatively soft, and definitely won’t go in the joint. I only used it once as it didn’t work that well. I’ve another Bostitch masonry nailer that I’d...

Thanks, I’ll have a look 👍

I’ve a No7 with a Clifton blade I bought maybe in the late 90s or early 2000s which needs replacing. This is one I’ve got at work and is used almost daily hence the wear rate,and I’ve managed to eek out a bit more life out of it by extending the slot, which I can’t next time. I’ve a Lie...

Bostitch magnesium guns are really light and don’t need oiling.

The 40v Mitre saw looks an impressive machine.

I’m of a similar background to yourself and served a four year apprenticeship as a Joiner in the Eighties. I agree, from what I see, the way he holds and uses his plane and other hand tools he’s also of a similar background. He talks a lot of sense and I really don’t get all the hate 🤷‍♂️

I’d put off watching a Paul Sellers video for a few weeks since learning about him thinking he was just another YouTube hobbyist. I’ve now watched two and I’m very impressed, he handles tools like he’s done it for a living and his explanatory style reminds me of my lecturer in technical...

I do this for a living and never take off the crown guard or riving knife, there are much safer and better ways of making grooves such as a router or router in a table. Those Health and Safety regulations are there for a reason, stay safe.
