@clogs would have thought you more of a T72 man myself ;)

+1 for @mrpercysnodgrass recipe but I never use Meths as have had a discernible trace of bluing in the finish on a couple of occasions over the years, all on blonde woods. My bottle is a jam jar. My ratios are 1 part linseed oil 2 parts turpentine and a tablespoon of amonia and a literal drop of...

An HVLP would probably suite you the most such as the Fuji pro2 or minimite 4 within your budget. They come with a small turbine unit that weighs next to nothing really and is very easy to transport around.

very nice, once again alignment is key though. I would, If I did a lot of curcle cutting on the bandsaw drill a locating hole in my mitre slot for a pin fitted to the jig to pop into to ensure alignment

Absolutely the wrong thing to do. Counterintuitive I know but the load must be as balanced as possible over each axle or you are liable to overturning on corners. Just been through all of this for my HGV test. You need to know the weight of each machine and then arrange them so the weight is as...

The reason the guy in the first video has to go round twice and ends up with a second small sliver of wood is he has not correctly aligned the pin. He has his jig set up so that the OD face of the pin is in line with the front cutting edge of the blade instead of the centre of the pin itself...

Only just seen this thread Phil, my most heartfelt sympathy. A parent outliving their children is probably the hardest cross to bear. You are in my thoughts and I hope that all in the family can take a modicum of strength in knowing that. It is vital for us all to have vaccines where available...

As stated aboveby @Orraloon you will get a matt off the BLO; this when rubbed over with a couple of layers of crystaline wax will then give a nice soft sheen rather than a glossy shinny overly reflective finish. I feel the soft sheen is much more suited to bedroom furniture given the rooms...

BLO and then a nice crystaline was. A lot of rubbing but pretty

Remember as well, the really dirty bits tell you where and how to hold the plane in use as that is how they got dirty in the first place

Nearly all the names used for british currency have foreign origin even the pound. The £ symbol is taken from the Roman army and actually mean Libre pond a part of a legionaries wages paid in pound weights of salt. This was done as it was then easier for the trooper to then barter trade for...

An interesting new series has just started with Andrew Ditton on his tube channel. he has just released a video of his new touring set up which is a Kia EV6 and a Compass S30 caravan

ironmongery direct go to the website and ask fir a catalogue

The only other thing I will put forward is on new cheap planes. Leave them alone. The biggest problem with them is that they are produced too quickly. Old makers would leave plane castings for at least a year to 18 months after casting and then again for a few months after initial machining in...

My baad fingers on the wrong buttons should be 1 or 2mm. Typing while fighting the dog :rolleyes: for a soggy yucky fluffy thing

Don't try to do anything to the sole without the frog and the iron being insitu. The reason for this is that the tensions withing the sole casting are in different places and act in different directions to when the plane is complete and when it is in pieces. The cast sole will "relax" when the...

Just to get it out the way, @Jacob , that is a terrible attitude. Find out you've bought a POS and then sell it on to muggins to re-coop your money. No wonder we end up getting this kind of thread when people follow this philosophy and these POSs end up doing the rounds and putting newcomers off...

Firstly, I am not your intern. Secondly, I already know that some taxes are indeed stolen Thirdly, the stolen money is not used to fund the invasion of UKraine. Only the un-stolen money raised by tax is used to fund Russion government project. The stolen money is used to line the pockets of...

They do but we don't listen
