I would have to agree with StuartPaul. I've used the titebond PU glue once on cedar gates i was making. Serious hardship after cleaning up the foamed out glue. It gets into the wood and it's difficult to remove the residue. If you are going to use the PU I'd advise tape. Lots of tape. Stick...

If you have underfloor heating you'd probably not want to drill the floor to anchor the machines. Then all you have left is to set something into the floor before pouring the concrete - set the bolts in to the concrete, set a threaded sleeve into the concrete etc. All would require...

Record and Startrite are the primary, non industrial, sellers here. Crazy price for new Startrite equipment here too. 'Here' as in 'here in Ireland'.

So I've been under the completely wrong impression about the Startrite brand. Have the newer stuff gone to pot or what...

There is a 300mm Startrite P/T available new for £1043. I was under the impression that Startrite was regarded as a quality machine and I'm at a loss as to why its not getting air time here or anywhere else. Forgive me but I confused. I may well be missing something important here (again) and I...

Could someone tell me how this machine would compare with a similar sized Startrite machine. These seem to have gone completely from peoples mind and appear to be available at very reasonable prices at the moment. Eoin

LN can copy the stanley planes because Stanleys protection has long expired. There fore any other company can do the same. In theory QS planes are copying the old Stanley ones rather than LN. It does make one think that a company like veritas have positioned themselves better by being...

I went to the Rosewood Studio in Canada for a weeks course a few summers ago and on the first day I appeared with a pair of flip flops. I was politely asked to bring full shoes for the rest of the course for insurance reasons and I duely acknowledged my mistake. Later, on the first day, I...

This is the BS drawing as promised. Its for blown mineral fiber.

This may be a bit premature but if you do go with the injected insulation I'd strongly recommend getting a copy of the relevant BS (British Standards, not... you know what I mean). There's a clear drawing in it of the recommended drilling pattern. Its very important around windows and doors as...

HC, thanks for that. I'll be doing a bit more research before I add one to the list. I'm very impressed with the look though. Thats one very solid looking plane and all the more desirable for it...

Head Clansman, forgive my ignorance but what kind of planes are those? Record by the colour and possibly the moulding under the 'knob' but I'm probably wrong or just not altogether right... Eoin

Ah. OK. Maybe it was a minor coronary then. I wasn't sure. Just as well I asked...

Hmmm, i was looking at my kitchen widow this morning, a little distracted, when I began to feel a little knot in my tummy. Slowly I began to realise that this disconcerting feeling wasn't a minor heart attack but the onset of some form of enlightenment!!! I was looking at my knife block...

The great Brendan Behan once said - 'critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done everyday but they're unable to do it themselves'...

If, hypothetically speaking, in a situation like this there was a few gaps to be filled, could a fine dust be mixed with the epoxy to fill any gaps or should it be added once the epoxy is in place? Or, should the dust be mixed with the epoxy to be used as a filler only, not a glue? Or non of...

Wizer, would that be the variable burnisher from Veritas? If so is it worth while? Has anyone else tried this tool? Eoin PS I like the proportions of your Burnisher Derek. Looks a lot more usable. PPS: From the second picture of course.

I seem to remember Norm having a very simple solution to a problem like this where a quick/slight lift in a table allowed castors to drop and some hinged piece to also drop and lock the castors down. All it took was a pull on a piece of rope to disengage the castors when positioned. One was then...

My first marking gauge was a Titemark, similar to the one highlighted from Workshopheaven. I found it very handy for close in measurements such as dovetails and some mortice/tennon measurements. However, the further you extend this type of guage the more difficult it is to control. Anything over...

I intend buying one but my local shop didn't have any this week and I need to have my card scraper up and running over the week end. I'll try a screw driver for now.
