As far as I'm aware Henry Taylor still make bench chisels

I've moved a Wadkin RS lathe which must weigh the best part of 3/4 ton on my own using hardwood rollers

To call them rubbish because the edge is marginally off square is ridiculous, I would expect to prepare the end of any chisel I bought to my preference, unless it was one of of those £100 Blue Spruce ones, and I'd want that to do the chiselling itself

I saw that Greg had that up for sale, must have cost a bit to get it delivered from his place

There's nothing modern about "shaker style" panelled doors have been in common use for hundreds of years

Is any of it still available ?

It's Cherry

If your blade is decent it should go through that like a hot knife through butter. No need to complicate a simple task, just get it done

That can't be said strongly enough Jon. I regularly use tropical hardwoods and the dust is horrible especially Iroko

A length of angle iron screwed to the centre partition and to the wall would sort it, once you manage to get it back in line. It will need to be a reasonable size though, so that the screws don't end up too close to the back edge and pull away

109000 a year, I would imagine they had a long product run

Why not, there are kitchen companies that specialise in just that

Dave Engels is very entertaining, and knowledgeable. A lot of his stuff is peculiar to America though. Sarven hubs are an American invention and not very common over here, although you do get the odd set to repair. That type of tyre with the wire through isn't used here, our rubber has a T...

Thanks Merlin that's great, really appreciate your help

I've also got two of the larger and one of the smaller veritas hold downs and can vouch for their usefulness. I bought mine years ago when they weren't as expensive, but they're certainly worth getting.

Poplar or Tulip as its otherwise known would be a decent choice, its relatively cheap easy to work and finishes very smooth and good for paint finishes. The only downside is its quite easily dented, so Beech would be a more durable, although more expensive alternative, or Ash if you want the...

Anyone got an RS ?

Can't rate their customer service highly enough. I've had a couple of deliveries lately and the service has been exemplary. I somehow ordered two of everything on the last order, so phoned them yesterday morning and it was amended straight away with no hassle. Got a text last night to say it...
