Thanks for the feedback DW. I'm nearly finished my drooling and looking at it so will be working on it this coming weekend hopefully by drilling some dog holes and making some dogs, WOOF WOOF! Regards the knot, its actually not that bad anyway now its oiled up. I'm actually pleased that I had...

Great idea cabinetman, I hadn't even thought of doing that with the eyesore of a window sill. I will add it to my list. Many thanks... Rob

Hi, thats a great one. Regards the vice, its not so hard. I just stripped it down competely, wire wheeled and got rid of the rust from all the components. I had to sort the quick release as it didnt work but apart from that, its easy although needs a good bit of elbow grease. Primed it and...

🤣😂 I’m sure if I have a week or so drooling over it, I will then realise I better start using it Paul 👍🏼 Great yours has lasted 20 years. I bet it’s got a lot more in it still. I’m 49 and hope mine outlives me to be honest. I reckon it should as long as I aren’t too heavy handed so maybe a...

Glad to say, I’ve now got it in position and some tools on there. I’ve also now created and installed the dog for the vice from oak. Here,s the vice before I restored it. Also, it didn’t work but does now. Just got some dogs holes to drill opposite the vice. Funny thing is, now that it’s...

Happy New year Alan. Yes, everything has gone up in price gloabally recently but the usual annual increases add to it. Rob

Wow, many thanks Ian, much appreciated. Regards a planing stop, I am actually thinking about it to be honest (amongst other things). I’m probably going to get my vice dog done and some dogs in the top first and then see how I get on. Adding and improving as I go is what I’m planning to do. I’m...

I’m going to make some Winding Sticks at some stage. I had a temporary pair which helped me with my workbench build and they proved extremely useful. My temporary ones were about 300mm and I thought they were a bit short at the time. I was thinking 500 or 600 might have been better. What does...

Good to know it works thanks Mike as it’s on my list of projects to do. Rob

Thanks Adam, Defo looking forward to a rest and doing some projects on it, which I can now do for many years to come. Rob

Many thanks Triton, I’m on board totally with what you have said. Now that I’m pretty much finished (apart from doing a dog for my vice and some dog holes in the top), I’m very much looking forward to doing some pottering for a while for a rest, maybe do some restoration projects or have a good...

Hi Grant, yes they do. Slight bow but nothing major. Paul sellers uses these particular ones and puts a bit of wood through the centre to give it a bit more rigidity. I got them from Amazon. Amazon 36” sash clamps here Rob

Good point Paul 👍🏼

Well Ive now got a question. Ive done two coats of BLO now. Last coat went on at 5:30 and its all buffed off. I was going to give it a coat of wax in the morning about 10 ish. Do you think thats ok to do and it’s enough time after the BLO?

Maybe. Thanks for the idea. Ive just done yhe BLO and its actually not that bad now.
