    Careful who you let teach you (table saws again)

    I do wonder at times if, you join the loony tunes thread - does it automatically block all the bad things people have said about you in there before you joined, just so no one gets a flashy bang type parcel for SS? :unsure:

    No 5 plane - what is it for?

    So this Dovetailing business?...

    Now @Adam W. you know as well as I do that real sharpness doesn't just shave off the hair it takes the layer if skin holding the follicle with it as well before you feel pain. At least that's how it works with my coping saw

    Can/Should I use Yew for a practice chanter???

    Can/Should I use Yew for a practice chanter???

    The habit of pipers is to take a breath throught he side if the mouth and not remove the chanter from the lips while playing/practicing; this means that there is a high chance that as you take a breath you will draw air up through the middle of the chanter and into your mouth as well.

    Can/Should I use Yew for a practice chanter???

    no a good idea unless your are able to fully seal the chanter both on the outside and down the hole in the middle. If you need a new chanter, I have one, a nice Indian rosewood with silvered lauries you can have as I can't play anymore due to arthritis in 2 fingers
