Just noticed that WoodRiver appear to have a new spokeshave; https://www.woodcraft.com/products/wood ... 3baa000a33 and it looks curiously similar to the Veritas low angle shave; http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.a ... 1182,44834 I appreciate the whole LN, Quangsheng / Qiangsheng /...

What is the difference in the context of sharpening chisel and plane blades other than abrasive grit size :?: Surely this is just semantics at this juncture. I would have thought stropping with leather and using stones with high grit values are pretty much the same thing these days. You...

I give up Tasky, you're using the investment sector to explain how collectors have a negative impact on it, the used vehicle and the tool market by suggesting real gold investors are mirrored by collectors who buy false investments that are dangled on a string to them. These 'false investments'...

To the average person in the street it's a Krugerrand, same as it is to a user and / or collector and has the relevant value of a Krugerrand. Proofs fetch higher prices because of the nature of what they are, proofs. If anyone buys a proof coin at £1,900 then that is its value, not the base...

All bullion coinage is sold at premium even if at a small percentage. What business model could sustain manufacture, administration, authority, storage and logistics at the base price of the material used? Anything in the precious metals market that is certified comes at premium. Clearly this...

Some limited proofed coins fetch high premiums but's that's due to the limited nature of them. Standard Krugerrands are typically 6-8% over base price but then they are minted, certified and easy to sell. The Krugerrand was never meant to be a straight £ for £ gold purchase, that was not the...

Indeed.

^ This, DIN is a standardisation adherence, bit like A4 paper which is also a DIN based standard.

I believe this does the job although I don't see much on the web from people using the Pro Edge for planes. https://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/sharpeni ... uare-guide

To update this thread, I took the collective advice and bagged me a no 80 scraper today. Been watching them on Ebay and either missed auctions or got sniped at last minute. Not been in a big rush so just waited for a decent one to come along. Anyhow, went to a local woodworking event today...

Maybe a museum is not the right path for this type of collection, maybe bolting something onto a school or collection of schools and regarded individuals.

:shock: I'd love to see that. I can strangely see how that is a reality and I do hope you resolve this.

Just to update on this one, had a venture to the Gardens this morning, not a bad turn out - a little more than I expected (based on my experience of their usual events). I'm not a turner or carver but spent a good part of the morning having a wander around. Managed to find another wood supplier...

I appreciate your point of view sunnybob, but the lack of use of that tool is only during the period of that collectors ownership, it's not forever. Maybe those bikes, cars or tools would not exist in the now and the future if it weren't for collectors being involved in the flow of ownership...

No problem, will you be updating here on your build. Would like to see how you progress and help if needed. Got a few 3D printers kicking around, have to say the whole firmware/ dedicated board process has not been my best use of time. Something to be said for complete PC's doing the work.

I've built a few CNC routers from scratch but these are all full alloy builds using heavy extrusion, 6082 plate and HIWIN blocks / rails with ballscrew components. I have one large format machine with a 40W laser attached and that has been more useful than I ever thought possible. Plenty of...

Do you not see the contradictory nature of your complaint though? They may have had a disposable value in 1972, but thanks to collectors and enthusiasts there are still working examples around now. Yes they cost significantly more but this market does not exist to sell you your nostalgia back to...

I suppose the bottom line is that nothing really gets taken out of circulation forever, it's just a potential issue (depending on your viewpoint) whilst in the custodianship of the 'collector'.

It could be argued that Star Wars enthusiasts are incensed that Graflex club members are depleting the stock of much needed prop material especially when there are perfect copies out for them to use with their camera's.
