horrible on saw blades though!

no, but thanks all the same. I do have the FWW archive though so I will start with that.

I want to make a couple of these in a couple of months Wine Barrel Adirondack Chair or https://hungarianworkshop.com/wine-barrel-adirondack-chairs/ does anybody have any plans that they can confirm are comfortable? The angles seem pretty critical and I think that the instructables plans seem...

could you centre drill 2 lengths of steel rod (an inch or two long), the size of your bore. superglue them in the ends of the bore so that a short length protrudes then hold 1 in a collet chuck and the other in a live centre. when you are done, heat the steel and the superglue will fail.

it is difficult to know without knowing what you have and what you like making. the segmented wedge parts would be useless to me (I dont like that type of construction), but I can see the attraction for others.

where is it voucher for? my suggestions would be one of the below. https://chestnutproducts.co.uk/product/buffing-wheel-kit/ The Beall Tool Company (I got my collets as a full set from ebay). I dont know where stocks this chuck, but I recommend this exact model. Box 1 47mm Quick click system...

I think that vicmarc do what you want. For me, I would probably get a matched pair of ring centres (axminster) or a same sized steb drive and live centre and use those. There may be own brand version of the stebs now, when I cast looked I couldn't find both available as the same size.

you move the wood over the plane I believe.

what I would do is make a simple mockup using a cardboard box and sellotape to check that you like the size and proportions.

tell your daughter, she is busy googling "fork lift operators license"

something like this? Wood Cantilever Sewing Box: 3 Tier with Drawer I think 20mm would be much too thick. I would expect 10-12mm, although get any hinges first because nice ones are hard to find (or very expensive) with very narrow leaves. That may be your restriction. 16x12 (A3 paper size)...

A microbevel would extend the life. Veritas jig often recommended.

My turning ability is fairly basic, but I think that I would try and take a very light pass with a very sharp tool. I am not going to advise on which tool to use, I know what I would use but I don't know whether it is correct. Whatever it is though, very sharp- couple of passes and resharpen sharp.

I would think that it is torn grain, and goes deeper than you would expect.

there needs to be some form of measure though, and it needs to be non-political and easy to administer. on news reports that I have read (primarily BBC, so take from that what you will), they are stating that the measure is "deaths of people who have had covid within the last 28 days" or...

are you wanting it because you want a router, or because it is a vintage item? if I just wanted a router, I would choose something more modern either new or used. Bearings can probably be replaced, but anything electrical is going to be difficult.

Is my life lacking because I don't have much of an arsenal with regards to spoke shaves? I have a new spokeshave knocking around somewhere, bought from Screwfix and of zero quality. I struggled to get it to work when I needed it last and found an alternative method. It would probably have been...
