Some of my skewed planes have the wedge top skewed as well but having just had a look it might be that you need to increase the wedge depth. On mine with a square finial the lowest side of the wedge skew is at least in line with the top of the wedge. Cheers,Andy

Thank you for taking the time to post up the pictures . Nice, good to see them. Thanks

My brother in law is a Hubbard and I don't think I've seen any marked with that name. But, this will now stick even more firmly in my mind and if ought pops up as I look through my collection I'll let you know. Might you be up for showing us a few or at least his imprint please? Cheers, Andy

Have you seen these, (sorry link wouldn't load so Google this term) 01947 Scroll Saw bellows, unfortunately no picture but a message to them might suffice. Cheers, Andy

Key question for you to consider.... Does the person hanging these for you understand what they are doing as it may well be that they are now too heavy for the old weights? Cheers, Andy

No gaps should be visible. The "finishing" was the responsibility of the maker to provide a perfect product unless you agreed otherwise. Painting was premature. Can be sorted easily by properly gluing in slips of wood. Glue which is still visible on surfaces needs scraping/chiseling off, don't...

Just highlighting this again in case you are able to help. Cheers, Andy

Look for a product called flexiply. Getting a match for the one you are using may be a task. Cheers, Andy

Hi Gazza, Les ain't logged on for a while but a mention like this may alert him @lesnic Cheers, Andy

Well, in all my tool hoarding years I can't say as I've ever seen a marked one, although I have seen that advertising before. How many handles with "bands" do I have and not paid close attention to? Not many at all and that's from a collection of approximately 3-400 and maybe more. I will pay...

Original orange Solo clamps and the older style bar clamp (now badged Irwin) by vice grip ? For proper grip Carver Cramp. Cheers, Andy

Please let me introduce you to the multi talented Grace Horne. One of her recent projects was a presentation scalpel in fitted, covered and lined box. There's 2 or 3 parts to the videos but well worth signing up to Instagram for, for this alone. Cheers, Andy

Hmmm, thought it odd I couldn't see the Villa text in that section LOL.... References to building types noted, ta. Cheers, Andy

Perhaps a Villa in this sense refers to a holiday home that had a removable (boarded) shutter on the inside while the property was empty? Cheers, Andy

Looking good Johnny. Interesting you mentioned that "Villa " door as it doesn't make sense to me to have a removable glazed shutter on the inside and no weather proofing at the lower edge? Could there have been a misinterpretation in preparation of the drawing I wonder? Cheers, Andy

Your 6" grinder with original wheel should be suitable even if the corner of the wheel is not perfectly square. Cheers, Andy

Try Kibworth hardware. You could get shiny new ones and fume them with nitric acid... note I THINK it's nitric acid... Cheers, Andy
