By the acute cutting angle I get the impression that this is more a "spill" plane than a chamfer plane. Here's Bill Carter showing a rare manufactured example.... Cheers, Andy

Anyone else dropping by tomorrow? Cheers, Andy

A workshop I worked in had the same age plane as this and I'll be honest it was rubbish so might be best shelving the reassembly. Thread locking screw would always work loose, sole flexed far too easily and it would chatter its way around any radius attempted. This could quite easily be a...

Just a note to consider while you are undertaking this job. Are all the treads and risers in the stairs good and solid as now would be the best time to future proof against problems which may be just around the corner ? Cheers, Andy

I am not certain but I would doubt it as it would require 2 separate production lines. Cheers, Andy

Will, the grease, I assume, should be light and only applied to the quill. I'd take the pulley off and thoroughly degrease it. Cheers, Andy

Just a note here to say I believe, from the picture, that it is a plywood effect edgebanding on chipboard carcase. Andy, check carefully the thickness of your worktop and how much space below the surface is required to fit the hob. I sometimes find that more of the rail can be left intact...

So, two weeks today we should be up and running. Looking forward to meeting up with, not only the regular attendees, but the new faces as well. Cheers, Andy

Because people stumble across them and impart information otherwise not included originally. If someone had more information regarding my old planemakers planes thread I'd also be welcoming their input. I wouldn't worry too much about it Rob, personally I love it as a timely reminder of just how...

Sad situation and an admirable thing to undertake, I really hope you have a good sale. Kind regards Andy

Okay Tony let's look at this logically. I get the impression from the situation that even before the alteration of the toilet the available space within the cubicle may have been barely adequate. Even at this stage of considering moving the door out 60mm+ can you say it will be adequate...

Stylistically it looks like a Peter Wright vice although I've not yet seen a bench mount attached before. Cheers, Andy

Public place, as far as I know you have no option but to open outwards because if a punter is collapsed in there, there is no way of gaining entry. Cheers, Andy Ps, thinking out the box.... Roller shutter.😁

Some interesting examples in a chapter in this publication which looks stylistically awfully close to another reference I have for masonry details that might be what Adam is referring to. Cheers, Andy

Was just going to mention that "By hand and eye" has some very good information as to understanding this subject. Then noticed George.R.Walker is the co-author. https://lostartpress.com/products/by-hand-eye-1 Cheers, Andy

Steve, did you see my missive about the closing rebates being too shallow in a real world environment? I know you are practicing but best to get on board with proper procedure in the process. If it is intended to be used in an existing opening, you may, at this stage still be able to salvage...

Assuming it is a hollow core door drill a 12mm hole up in the bottom before you start to determine the thickness of bottom infill. If it is not approximately 55mm remove the existing and glue in a suitable replacement. You could machine the groove before inserting but would need a few 14mm...

Let me call it a closing rebate for clarity, not a glazing rebate. Which rebate are you referring to Jacob? Cheers, Andy

Just looking at this picture Steve and I'm getting the impression you are using a 1/4" rebate on the frame ? I'm not so certain I have ever come across one so shallow with 1/2" being the norm. Cheers, Andy
