Pretty sure it only works with a wedding ring. Something about commitment.

Probably a silly idea, but it would be cool if you could somehow setup a (non oscillating) spindle sander with a bearing, much like how you would do with a bearing guided router bit. Then cut almost to the line on the bandsaw and sand the rest. Sorry - doesn't help your situation, just...

Were you doing a climb cut when this happend (moving left to right)?

I have trouble with people actually turning up! People just don't care these days. If they have arranged a date to collect, and they find something better or change their minds, they don't even bother to message you. I've learnt my lesson now, I won't change my plans, they have to fit in with...

Could you use something like this or this? Starting of with small drill bits, and getting increasingly bigger. I think I would go to the trouble of making a template. So basically a drill guide made on the drill press, but with metal bushings for better accuracy (metal pipe with a 12mm ID)...

The grinding to size isn't an issue, it's the added complication to the plane design that I was planning on using. Anyway - I've ordered some now (that I will grind to size), so will see how it goes.

So could O1 in it's annealed state be usable as a plane blade? how would it compare to say, hardened HSS?

See, now this is what confuses me. I thought that hardened metal WAS rigid and brittle? and that non hardened was soft/malleable.

It's seems that these days, the biggest issue is finding good writers. I've had to stop so many TV shows, films etc (mostly on Netflix) half way through because the script turns stupid. Characters making stupid decisions. Characters not questioning things. Massive continuity issues. Complete...

Not that I can find? do you have a link? It's always either 10mm or wider, or square stock

No real preference, just experimenting really. So either works for the time being. I thought o1 is harder (takes longer to sharpen), longer lasting edge, where as HSS is softer, easier to work, shorter lasting edge. I assumed it was already hardened as the o1 steel I have recieved has been a...

The other explanation may be that woodworkers are smart and know to go for a subscription to save the monies! Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

Still square stock for the sizes I want. [PERSEVERING FACE] I did see the custom size option though. Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

I might try it then Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

I am looking for widths less than 10mm, about 2-3mm thick E.g 2-3mm x 5mm 2-3mm x 6mm 2-3mm x 7mm Etc Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk

Does anyone have a link to a source of tool steel (for making wooden plane blades) that comes in at around 2-3mm thick, but with a range of widths 4-10mm? It seems that all the sources of o1 tool steel I can find starts at 10mm widths. I have currently been using tool steel that I have been...

Thanks, I hate you.

I've had this exact problem and didn't really find a solution. My best results were with tinted danish oil, I used the Colron one. It's quite thick, so doesn't soak in so much. https://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/pr ... danish-oil Spraying very light coats of a finish seems to be an option...

I'd disagree. The woodworking UK facebook group has around 25k members (all mostly youngish people, not retired), most of the posts are from hobbyists in 6ft sheds or garages with very basic tools. It's not the expensive hobby you're making it out to be. You can absolutely spend thousands, but...

There were 5+ cycling, 3 air soft, 5+ golf etc So yeah, not to be sexist, but those are largely male oriented. How are there more people interested in trains than woodworking ... Sent from my SM-J510FN using Tapatalk
