This machine is excellent. I have 2 of them and use one of them in a veritas plunge base and the other is charged ready to swap out along with a couple of corded ones as well for various freehand stuff. The price of them hasn't gone up really over the last 3 years. they are very useful, only...

I take it, you weren't very good at it at school either?

You really only need 5 tools, a very small hammer, side cutting wire snips, small tip slot screwdriver, a parallel tip (gunsmiths type) slot screwdriver, a sharp scalpel. Print off a special message and use carbon paper to copy it on to the wood and away you go. See below

Yep, I was basically bricking it for the first few weeks of using it. I was very fortunate to have an old timer Det Cmdr (I think his 1st promotion was to Optio). He would get all the sprogs learn as most of the time we were places where you couldn't get a pack of Gillette or even electrickery...

I have a stainless handled one of these and have used it since 1989. it has been everywhere I have and used it almost daily for 17 years and then every few days thereafter (I left the army). It matters not what I use to lubricate my face as it is always great to use, I sharpen it every few days...

How you know if you're having a good or bad day as a pilot

I currently have a Leatherman Charge and have had it for as long as I can remember and it goes everywhere I go on my belt along with a torch. I used to also have a SpydeRench which was a damn useful tool as it had an adjustable spanner on it. That unfortunately went walkies at some point as some...

These are pretty good as can be re-pressurized using your compressor or a bike pump and filled with whatever you want to spray. I have a couple one for degreaser and one for the Wurth Woodslide...

My workshop is literally 50m from the North Sea and is in an old rope/net drying shed. I use Boshield B9 on my hand tools and wipe on Wurth Woodslide for my machine beds. Only tool I've had rust problem on was my #7 which I forgot to do before closing up at the start of the pandemic and even...

As tradition and Norse Pagan dogma demand, I have been preparing the New Years Day Breakfast, Cold Smoked Salmon on slightly burnt Brioche toast with Eggs Benedict and 2 rashers of home smoked bacon and a very big mug of Tea. As our local Druid taught us in Saucery 101, I first emptied last...

Quite a few have gone on to commit acts of violence, we the ones on MI5s watchlists have.

Gives the...

There is another that gives the same effect but has the 2 horizontal parts with a haunched tenon that mate together inside the upright part which has 2 mortices at 90 deg to each other, much easier to do The Zongzi is actually a standard joint in Chinese furniture making 9having been around...

I'd be tempted to wear pants

Have a look at the Chinese 3 way "Zongzi Angle Joint" found about halfway down the right hand column here (you can zoom in) or you can get a better look on your phone by DL the "Wood Joints" app on android (tap on the imzge and the diagram gives an exploded view and if you pull up from the...
