Thanks for the tip.

Reclaimed simply for the 'character'. I'm near an industrial auctioneers and they have wood auctions every few months or so. Last week I picked up 30'odd boards for £200 - a mix of stuff from 4' to 8'. It's enough to keep me going through the summer :). I've got a 'burnisher' tool - it has...

Been mulling all the feedback/info over the past week or so...... I think I am set on getting a helical/spiral cutter block for a number of reasons, mostly relating to noise, ease of set up and finish. I appreciate the feedback from those with more experience than me that an older fully cast...
