Martin, I tend not to use any joinery for edge jointing. If you hand plane the edges so they are perfect and then rub join them you get a glue line that cannot be improved with biscuits or dominos (or so I believe). They may be useful for alignment, but a few taps with a mallet after clamping...

I bought the xl recently with the seneca adapter for using the smaller bits. I have used it a intended but also as a general mortice cutting machine. It is not a complicated task to square up the corners of the mortices to use traditional tenons, I have also done through mortices which I...

+2 for bahco. BB is right about adjustables and I use them more than I probably should, at least a decent one minimizes problems. Make sure when ever possible you push the jaws a the way over then nut so the angle at the back is in contact with it.

I tend to plane all my own stock for a variety of reasons. It is a fair bit of work. Add to that the price of machinery, honing and setting knives, emptying the extractor bags, sweeping up the chips that don't make it into the extractor, putting aside the piece that chips out like crazy around a...

I get and band saw, table saw, track saw, metal cutting hss saw, router bits etc. sharpened by North London Saws in Waltham Cross. They are local to me but you can post to them. Reasonable prices, 4-7 day turnaround.

I'm surprised Graham hasn't commented on this here, in fact I haven't seen a post from him in ages, maybe he;s given up the internet, if so my opinion of him has gone right up, and it was pretty damn high in the first place

Check out the for sale section in this forum. What tools are you after?

I feel very similarly about the thread. It was interesting to be outside my normal echo chamber, I only know 1 leaver in the real world and I share a workshop with him and try never to discuss politics with him as he genuinely is a xenophobe and racist (although weirdly not with people when...

John, I've read that , I wrote you a long reply on the same page, I understand that you are absolutely not a racist and am greatly heartened by that fact.

Rhossydd, just apologise, I don't want to lose allies. Benchwayze, you may notice that all of us here, who are relaxed about immigration, except Jacob, actually live in the places with the most immigrants, this is also reflected in the brexit election and practically noone votes UKIP in london...

. According to this http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/ ... -year.html the number of Romanians in the UK trebled in one year but the number in prison rose by 60% in three years. We must have got the majority of dodgy Romanians early followed by more law abiding ones

I have recently had a couple of people speak highly of the Black Horse Road workshops (Walthamstow), never been there myself but from what I've heard it is a good place. Paddy

I am really pleased when I hear people like yourself and Cheshire Chappie give your reasons for voting leave and they have nothing to do with racism and xenophobia or even immigration at all. While I think leaving the EU is a mistake in loads of ways I do actually have mixed feelings about it...

I've noticed that whatever the content on you tube there are people who put up stupid snide comments, I believe it is known as trolling. I remember a vid that graham did showing Shane Skelton's dovetail saw from the passaround on here. At least one of the commentators totally attacked Graham...

You Tube is much the worse without you Graham

Glad you are, not sure everyone would be. It was towards Bob Geldof when he challenged Farage on the Thames, can't recall who said it, but it was someone on here - unless it was deleted. I'm amused by their stupidity, not their wit

Nobody's saying that all Brexiters are racist xenophobes, just that racism and xenophobia are on the rise (see UKIP for details) and this has been a big boost for them, indeed even some of the leading Brexiters have been a bit disturbed by this like Baroness Warsi.

Wuffles, What was the "potato worriers" comment, and what does it mean? Sounds like it could be some sort of anti Irish slur, if so I'd like to say I'm much more amused than offended. As for the company, my Dad seemed to be pro Brexit with every comment but was always voting remain. I asked him...

Hope you right. That's something I keep finding myself saying to Brexiters, my desire to be right is completely overpowered by my fears for the direction of travel in the nations politics. I spoke to a neighbour of Jo Cox this morning, her kids play regularly with Jo's and are also friends of...
