Beautiful piece of work =D>

Why would you bother for that quantity of timber, which you then have to have sat around seasoning for an age :? Unseasoned timber can be had relatively cheaply from any sawmill :ho2

"Ok, the plane is back on it's way to Workshop Heaven. Many thanks to Matt for letting me have it for so long, but as much as I like it I can't quite afford to buy it at the moment." :shock: Blimey thats well over two months on trial Hmm I've got a conservatory build coming up soon :-k

£4000 seems exorbitant, aren't there any grants available for upgrading to a more energy efficient boiler ?

I would give serious thought to getting a cctv camera to cover your car Steve :evil:

"Holtey has a backlog for £10,000 planes" Are you seriously comparing a dovetail saw that looks pretty much the same as numerous other offerings all at substantially lower prices to a Holtey plane :? But then again I suppose if they're prepared to pay £10,000 for a plane that will do the same...

Very impressive Snickare, some excellent work there =D>

Sorry Blackrodd, but that heritage guy is considered a bit of a Barry Bucknall in the wheelwrighting fraternity. Ash is sometimes used as spokes (as no doubt other timbers are) but it was never the timber of choice in Britain. Oak has for hundreds of years been used for that purpose because of...
