Theres a ton of Asian documentaries on YT that are about the craft and tradition which are much more interesting than people who seem to be doing YT for likes and to show shiny tools or sponsorship. I have been watching Ishitani since he started and he does some great stuff. As for specific...

I've had one of these for almost a year and its been exceptional. I bought it from axminster with the stand and out the box its super accurate. I regularly check that the blade is square and the 45's are good with a draughting triangle, but haven't needed to adjust it at all. I would say if...

Have a look at the Dave Stantons portable bench, he uses the parf guide system for the top and bench cookies for the stand, I built one of these as dragging my MFT around ws a PITA, its pretty damn useful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-SzRbVPob0 He has since added a skirt and all kinds of...

never left, just a lot of lurking and practising, planing, sharpening, planing, sharpening.... finished these this weekend, offcuts from the revered "Custard" and the practice also came from the short time i spent in his presence. The only machine was the routed edges, its not much but its all...

hahaha you would be surprised at how many up-to-40 year olds I know that don't even own basic tools or have any idea how to repair anything. It's kind of scary.

^^^ what he said. We live in a disposable society, fashions change, tastes change and people want their houses to be with current trends which has seen IKEA's huge boom. Im not sure the average person cares about quality, because quality is far more expensive than cheap crap that looks good...

i was also looking forward to this a few weeks back, but unfortunately i need to pull out now as i'm heading out the country for work and wont be back in time :(

link?

i was looking at them last night, awaiting deals :)

ah yes, its all as smooth as a baby's bottom :) I filed the edges and finished with 240. I just need to get a crisp edge so ill spend some time on that this evening. I ended up with a veritas honing guide mk2 and i'm not sure what the previous angle was, but it sure wasn't 25 so i had to...
