Most of cheap thicknessers with have HSS blades. Have a look around how much for a set of replacement blades, and how difficult to get them. You can sharpen them, of course, but you might do that often, so it's not bad idea to have two sets of knifes to rotate them. I didn't want any of that...

Not many here mentioned Stumpy Nubs, who is in my book one of the best for education. He started as somewhat joker who also did wood related things, and over the years transformed to educator. And he's spot on. Highly recomend to those wanting to learn.

Thanks for this, actually very helpful info! I'm not going to go down that route any time soon, but it's good info gathering. Much appreciated.

I was looking at Incra router table related things the other day. So expensive. How are you finding it? I was looking at this combo. Saves you about £350 compared to bying individualy. But stilll... Any comments welcome.

I appreciate this new view for me. You are not wrong. They might not put jewellery in, but small trinkets, and as long as something is in, it would serve the purpose. Thanks for sharing.

That's pretty neat idea! They are not living in UK, so the old penny would not have much to do with them, however the coin idea is brilliant. They are even selling gold plated ones just for the occasion. I'll see if it passes wife test :D

Yeah, I thought about it. It would seem more worthy present. They are not about jewlery (which I associate with these boxes), but they like food a lot. My uncle is a passionate meat eater. Aunt a bit less, which is putting me off for the cutting board. I wonder if a combo would be best. Matching...

That wire inlay is pretty neat, I like everything about it. However seems like a lot of time and money investment to get the tools and skills required. And II'm not sure I would do that often. My wife is making DND resin dices, so she could fill the inlay with epoxy instead. Might not look as...

Folks, very dear family members will celebrate this great anniversary towards the end of the year, and I'm scrumbling for ideas, or if those of mine are any good. I thought of making high-end cutting board, end grain, thick and large in footprint, maple walnut combo. Just doesn't seem to be...

Thanks, happy to add you. Just for your info, it needs to be in here, because I cannot edit the header of this thread anymore.

Added, thanks

Thanks for your note. Good to hear something positive. I'm not going to be setting up another one, but it sounds like a cool idea. Feel free to set it up..? Cheers

Both of you added, thanks

Alright folks. Other thread created, that hopefully is not that confusing, and I should be able to build the list of those helpful individuals. Here

I'm trying to put together a database of people, who are open to meet new people, have a chat with them, show & explain some machinery, or maybe even do a little work for someone who does not have the gear needed to do the work him/herself. For example, I have at home a jointer/thicknesser...

Thanks for the link. Yeah looks nice this map. But I found it difficult to find a way to contact said person, and or what gear they have. Amazing how many people got in touch there.

Could you possibly pm me a link to that, please? Interesting info

Thanks mate. I'll need to set up a new thread here, with better name and better description of what the idea is. I'd still welcome more suggestions on that, please. I'll then carry over the info gathered here, and link the new thread.

Yeah I agree the title could have been better... Happy to hear ideas.

Looks like I ran into some technical issue / limitation in here. I'm no longer able to edit the header of the thread, hence I can't continue to add people in there... What a shame. Not sure about getting some google doc together, and have a link to it? How would people feel about that? Or other...
