You can use a drill to remove most of the waste, then use a chisel and finally a router plane to tidy up. You can also make your own router plane, in the form of an "old woman's tooth".

I presume that's the asking price and not the sold price.

I hit a Lidl chisel, with a mallet, on a hardened screw and the edge rolled over, I also got a slight folding of the edge when cutting ebony. This is with it sharpened on a single bevel at the factory bevel, I presume 25 degrees. Has anyone else noticed this? I guess they must be on the soft...

No adverts but they do have a list of sponsors: So the $24 is not covering all the costs. I don't think I'll be buying or reading, seems too many articles on "personalities" and interviews (and too USA based) for me.

My bold. Well, that's just about as unequivocal as you can get! As for the question of why people didn't say that (as close as it is possible) when answering a question on how to reduce tearout, my feeling is that people already assume the plane is already set like that, because it's just a...

Just for interest, here's a section from Hayward's Complete Book of Woodwork, 1970s edition but originally published in 1955. In some of the books I've seen on setting the cap iron, they usually say for a finer finish, set it closer etc, but here there is actual mention of tearout, saying...

You can get a refund. It's wasting your time though.

I have read that pro "hand made" furniture makers sand before applying a finish, but only because it saves time, presumably it's quicker than planing or scraping. I definitely apply a finish straight on a planed (or scraped) surface. I don't see why not. And no sanding on a planed surface for...

Just in case anyone hasn't seen the articles on plane making by William J. Armour published in 1898: http://www.handplane.com/33/practical-plane-making-2/

It's just a guess but could it be that a closely set cap iron is so basic to planing that other people thought you're already using it, so any suggestions would mention other things you could do, ie higher pitch, scraping, toothed blade, narrower mouth etc. From a 1950 Stanley leaflet: I...

It hasn't been lost! Well, one or two writers might not know or didn't know about the use of a closely set cap iron to reduce tearout, but the rest of us know about it and use it. I only started woodwork less than 3 years ago but just about every book or article I've read about planes and...

Hello all, There seems to be this cheap slow running water cooled grinder, sold under various brand names; Aldi, Lidl, SIP, Clarke, Draper. It's actually a "Wet and Dry Bench Grinder", basically a normal high speed grinder with a slow wet wheel attached on one end. I'm really only interested...

"Workshop" offers next thur 12 nov: http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?id=692 Most of the same stuff as the Irish and Northern Irish offers at the moment: http://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?id=560 except the one item I'm really interested in doesn't seem to be included! I was...

At 30p per min to mobile and landlines, it's not exactly a good deal. And they bury the prices on their website, it takes quite a bit of digging around to find: http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/Hel ... 7.2015.pdf http://ee.co.uk/content/dam/ee-help/Hel ... .10.15.pdf

According to http://wodentools.com/snjhhistory.html I don't know if it's the same Fabrex though.

I've just noticed Northern Ireland and Ireland have the offers at the same time: http://www.lidl.ie/en/Offers.htm?id=633 http://www.lidl-ni.co.uk/en/Offers.htm?id=560 I think I read somewhere they have their offers 2 weeks ahead of Great Britain?
