    Where,s Custard

    I've tried contacting him a couple of times over the last few months but have not had a response and Gary is normally quite quick at answering people. Do have a bit of concern building but too far away to find out

    Is it the knot, or not the knot.

    I use wood with as many knots in it as can be fitted on the board in nearly all my stuff. But then, when there are 1 or 2, people think they are defects but then go on to pay a high premium for a boards with 100s of 1000s in it and call it Burr. When making something and it has knots in, if...

    So this Dovetailing business?...

    I'll but heads with you on this one Jacob. I first bought the draper version and threw it in the bin 2 days later. It is pants by far the worst saw I have ever bought. The blade is so thick and heavy the thing feels like your using a sythe and the set so wide (and laser hardened so you cant...

    Hi and a warm welcome. I'm sane too. A special type of doctor even gave me a certificate to prove it once too

    Having trouble with wood finishes…hardwax oils vs varnish

    well made @kinverkid Did you use metal hinges rather than make wooden ones just out of concerns over durability or for some other reason? And are the pointy bits just wood or do they have metal covers or pins?

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    nice one. Always good to push yourself to try new things with the tools you have and add a useful feather to your hat or what ever the saying is . Did you use a straight bit first and then use the dovetail to refine the shape or just go with the dovetail bit in one go? I can't tell from the...
