Im after Fine Woodworking Tools and Shop issue 293. It has Megan Fitzpatricks plans for a Dutch tool chest. Anyone have a copy or know where to get one?

I have a 78 already so will try cleaning up tenons with that I just felt that a shoulder plane would help finnesse them

Im looking to add a shoulder plane to my setup but just wondering which size would be best suited for all purpose work?

I'm looking at a front vice for my workbench build and like the look of the York Bench Spindle https://www.workshopheaven.com/york-work-bench-spindle-with-wheel-hv516wh/ However something like the Veritas is quite a bit cheaper (thats without the handle though)...

Brand new never used. Got bought as a gift but not needed. Looking for £165 Collection from Derbyshire or may consider posting
