How about two runs at 90degrees to each other with a midway landing. Should give a lot of scope for adjustment within that space. Can you do anything with the ope? First impressions are that it would be relatively easy to move the opening if need be. Eoin

One of the best approachs I'm come across was from James Krenov. Its not scientific and probably not the most accurate but it makes up for this in simplicity Take a piece of wood with a decent straight edge and draw a line parallel to this straight edge. Cut along this line free hand, with the...

Just the regular, thicker iron I'm afraid.

Rather than the lateral adjustment lever not being able to move the iron as much as expected, the iron requires too much movement, if that makes sense. In other words, the lateral lever is not the problem. It would appear that the frog may not be sitting square to the rest of the plane. Then...

I'm had this plane for a bit now but for various reasons I'm not doing much work with it, or any of my tools for that matter. This plane has been posing a problem for me for a while and I thought I'd try to sort it out finally yesterday, but to no avail. Essentially I've tuned up this baby by...

Maybe it is a Norris. I've only seen the piece once and I thought there was too much of a cut away to the back of the plane to be a Norris but my knowledge of these things is limited. Eoin

Nice piece. And an Alan Peters apprentice with it!!! Nothing very new but great to look at. I wonder what make the plane he got from his father is?

I'd also be interested in a pair. There would be a shipping issue needed to be accounted for in price before I could commit. Regards Eoin

Rob, dovetail saw received today. In excellent condition so thank you very much. And the added bonus of original box and leaflet. I'm very happy. A mid year christmas. Looking forward to trying it out - sometime in the next year or so!!! Eoin Oh, I appreciated the extra effort with the...

Looking very nice Olly. Just wondering if you needed to take any additional precautions when gluing the end grain to end grain sections of the veneer. I think thans the sample I'd want to try snapping. Regards Eoin

I think one would be better off paying to have their head examined. Imagine the amount of LN or LV tools that could be bought with the price of one of those. Still, if the pockets are deep enough, its irrelevant.

Oh God..... PM sent. Eoin

Looks like this could be the definitive piece of work. Excellent and Kudos for the effort...

PM sent re the dovetail saw Regards Eoin

Oh yeah. I'll second the request for in-situ pics. Great piece of work. It's got me thinking (inspired) of how to lay out a telly stand I've been thinking of for a while. Eoin

Is there anyway to maximize the stone slab in the corner? Putting the bench on it would be an option but that would be less than ideal. It would suit my needs but it might suit yours. Eoin

Just had a browse through that site. Excellent, very interesting. Eoin

Have a look at this lot of woodies on sale on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/6-ANTIQUE-WOODEN- ... 1c125d3573 Now have a look at this guys other lots. Looks like a complete clearance. Brings a tear to the eye... :cry: Eoin

Hmmm, the science sounds plausible but I wonder how much of this is driven by a need to encourage the sale of more/better clamps. FWW can be a very influential magazine - for example I have a feeling that Lie Nielsen have a lot to be thankful for. Eoin

Is it possible/practical to fill with a clear epoxy, thus retaining the 'character' and protecting the wood. It would also allow for easier sweeping/cleaning. Eoin
