The traditional way to get a good holding surface on a bench for hand tool working is to go over the benchtop with a toothing plane.

Ah get round that by saying it is a fancy lean to greenhouse.

A very common fault for Epson printers from my days at repairing them. There is a pad that sits under the printhead rest postion. You can take it out and clean it with IPA let it dry an put it back but you do have to nearly totally dismantle the printer to do so.

Use a thick centre post with a cord that is securely attachted with the pin at one end and a small palm router at the other. As you keep the cord tight and rout a circle the cord will wrap around the post and shorten giving you a fibonachi spiral cut as it gets shorter

Hi and welcome to the forum. Lots to see and learn from here. I envy you your access to the more exotic woods.

Have look at the review of various dowel jigs that are available from Banggood that Denis of "Hooked on Wood" did on his Youtube channel. There are 2 or 3 vids (part of the China Tools series), looking at several different options. I too have the Wolfcraft and have liked using for years, Though...

They work, there have been a few cases of them being used by stalkers to keep tabs on people and have been used by some of the Ukrainian farmers to prove to John Deere that their tractors have been half inched by the Ruskkis and have had JD then then disable all the software on the bit of kit...
