    S Tyzack Try, Jointing & Jack planes - requesting help establishing the exact model number

    Retirement

    I find these statements quite unhelpful. that 126k will become 165k on their predictions, but that possibly ignores any contributions that you continue to make at the same level as now. That is how my annual statement works anyway, making it largely useless.

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    I am late to the party on this, but I really like the remade bench. there are a lot of subtle details- the tapered octagonal legs and the bevelled edge to the top that I admire. well done indeed!

    Gonna try a box again, how best to do the lid.

    what wood are you using for your sides? I was kindly given some veneer, I can probably find you enough for a couple of box lids in something that will either compliment or contrast with what you are using (you will need to veneer both sides of the lid).

    Record Power join the Made in Britain organisation

    It haven't watched the video, but there is a wealth of experience and capacity within the UK so a company could easily issue specs and drawings to subcontract and have components or assemblies made over here. If they plan to manufacture in house then it is slightly different and more difficult...

    Record Power join the Made in Britain organisation

    possibly me being cynical, but I wonder if this is for any more reason than that the cost of Chinese manufacture and QC checking has increased substantially in the last few years and the importing and logistics hassles are currently significant. UK manufacture for the UK market may now be the...

    Elliptical basswood or Mdf louvre

    Or ask a local joinery shop. They will need to factor in the cost of the cutter, probably written off on this job but you will get the profile that you want.

    Retirement

    How does your business partner feel about it Bob? You are giving 4 years of notice so it isn't a sudden thing, is he concerned, sees it as an opportunity or given no indication at the moment?

    Milwaukee

    I want to buy a decent Combi Drill and an impact driver. I used a friends Milwaukee 18v stuff and was impressed but I dont know how it rates amongst its peers. With it I want a couple of decent batteries and a charger. I cant see myself needing more than 2 5AH batteries, but they do a kit with 4...

    Suggestions for budget £70 cordless drill and accessory drill bits

    I have an old Bosch 10.8v drill driver and it is fantastic. It has been used and abused for 10 years or so now and it keeps going and going.

    Does a shelf have…

    I would say length and depth if I was buying a shelf, but width and depth if I was measuring one on the wall.
