This is about 2 years old and has had very little use. I didn't use the belt sander as much as I thought I would and now have a larger disc sander - so this is surplus to requirements. Boxed and like new, there is also 3 spare belts (60 grit and 120 grit I think) and the DE port adapter to...

If anyone is going to Duffields, then I would suggest you ring and check they have stock . I went there on Friday last week, the place was pretty bare. There were no offcuts, no turning blanks, loads of beech, but everything else seemed to have very little stock on the self select shelves. They...

I've just had another trip to British Hardwoods. I know a few members on here have been, so I was surprised to see no notes on them. Here are my impressions. Are they hobby friendly? Yes. They will let you search through packs of wood , selecting the boards you want. They have recently...

Its NLFS = No longer for sale.

I keep looking at the Hyundai Silent range of compressors and am tempted to get the 24l one. I seem to recall a couple on here who may have bought them - any feedback from usage of them? They seem good value and you can get them via ebay at the moment and use code PARCEL10 for 10% off from...

Lion brand Midget gems. My grandad who lived with us until I was about 5 used to come home from the WMC a couple of times a week with a quarter of them and share them with me. Looks like I'll be buying a box from aquarterof.co.uk

Thanks to all for the advice - all of it greatly received and digested. Well today I took the plunge. New lathe, chuck and APF10 face shield / respirator ordered from axminster (lathe on back order for a week or 2). Sorby pro edge deluxe + a few bits from Biven (had a bunch of hassle getting a...

+1 for British Hardwoods - I went a couple of months before Covid struck and stocked up on sawn cherry, so I've not been since. They were very helpful and I shall be returning once lockdown has ended. A bit further afield from you, but probably no further than tools and timber is Duffield...

I use my planes all the time and clean them occasionally. They are stored in my single brick garage workshop. About once a month i give them a quick costing of camellia oil and I haven't seen any rust since. I recently got a copy of Robert Wearings book on woodwork aids and devices and saw the...

Bit late for that Nick, already hooked on woodworking. Turning is / will be just an extension of my addiction :-)

That book is a good shout @Phil Pascoe - copy ordered.

Wealden are excellent IME. Good tools / prices and good service. I did recently buy an Axminster cutter (wealdens were out of stock ;-) ) and that has been fine too to date.

I keep thinking about buying a lathe and getting started in wood turning. There seems to be a steep purchase curve that puts me off each time I come back to this. I would really appreciate if experienced wood turners would offer their advice on what they would do to get started if they were...

I've got the CRT Mk3 and T11 combo. It is awesome! If you have a look at the office furniture I am making (rather slowly ;-) ) - the rebates for the panels are all done on the above, and to be able to easily set the depth for the panels and get it spot on every time, is IMO worth every penny...

I haven't used the veritas shooting board parts - always made my own. They are always rudimentary, just a piece of MDF, bench hook, fence. Up until recently I used my 5 1/2 jack plane, but over xmas treat myself to the veritas shooting board plane. What a revelation. Yes it's very expensive...

A couple of years ago, I saw Peter Sefton demonstrating the Wood River 5 1/2 @ the east midlands wood show. After picking one up and handling it, I thought it was just what I was after, a bit wider, a bit heavier / more mass. I bought one and it is the best bench plane for me, by far. Once sharp...

It will have been in stock previously - now they are showing you its out of stock, rather than just hiding it and having you try to find it if that's the product your after. That is quite the point of a good ecommerce site.

There is a filter on the left side of their search results page that says In Stock / out of stock.

I've been to both British Hardwoods and G&S. If its just wood your after , then go to British Hardwoods. They have a good selection and will let you pick and choose what you want, then tally it all up. G&S (when i went about a year ago) had a good selection of tools but less on the timber...
