Woot; you are crazy! These scum bags have your address and you just crossed them. I would be very concerned about that. You should have given them the package. Who the hell cares? Vodafone will claim on insurance and even if they don't, the cost of two phones is small change compared to their...

All Record planes 1930 to 1950. Nothing else touches them for quality.

The only way that 'is the right way' is the best way for the work you do. No youtube video will show you the right way. Your chisel is your tool and by definition it is your aid for the work you do. Sharpen your chisels accordingly. My chisels are all of varying degrees applicable to the last...

As you drive through Debyshire you will soon be able to identify Jacob's house. Tumble down old shed to the side of the house full of old planes and chisels purchased on ebay that are never used because he is too busy ranting on forums indoors. Rickety old flag pole and tatty old EU flag...

Get over yourself Jacob and stop over posting.

Lol ... £52 for a litre of linseed oil 'blackout' paint that ain't even half black! bonkers. You got too much money matey. I follow Eriba's advice...Spend less time groaning on here and use a proper maintenance regime. Btw now we have left the euromix it should be sold in pints.

Well said ! Completely agree. Also applies to certain contributors in this thread and on this site. They need to be censored especially the ones that over post.... incredibly arrogant, boring and most of the time just plain wrong, just like the old stick Sellars. Such a crime they are, and he...

Contrary to weird opinions, sole to side sanded, machined, out of true is no good. My shooting board runs fine because the sole is true, shame some have to spend so long fiddling around with their blades. Decals and varnish sanded away, therefore taking away all its providence. The feel of the...

Never use 3 in 1 oil ....any oil...on any plane...it gets on your work and ruins it. If its going to sit for a while, beeswax it. The sides have to be true to the sole so if you are going to sand it watch out how much you sand it. If you are going to sell it on ..you should have left the remains...

In the absence of my Grandad, who knew precisely how 'wet' any timber was, just by observation, you need to know the moisture content of the delivered pine and the moisture levels, averaged, in your work space. When the two values are the same you will have no problem. Till you know this...stack...

Guns=tool. Chisel= tool.....Don't be silly, guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Old Boys Club. A chip out of the Norman Yoke inexorably welcomed. 19th May 1649.

I started to read this thread but then fell asleep. Comments here are as bad as to be found on the BBC news. Full of 'experts' trying to score better points than the previous 'expert'. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

If you have to watch youtube to be inspired..or worse to learn....you should go and annoy someone else. Cabinetry is an emotion. You are either born with it or learn it from the generation that had no power tools.

None of that lot. What do you mean you have no Ash? It's the only one to use. Try going for a walk.

It's just common sense. The problem is everything and the problem is nothing. Air pressure, high pressure, low pressure, moisture at 7.5, moisture at 25; on and on. Don't store anything in containers. Cut your own boards/timber and then you can control the quality. Choose a quality stable board...

Never read such a load of irrelevant old tosh. HSE don't care about your fingers they just care about their government funding so often their rules don't make any sense. Its simple: You pick up a chisel, knife, saw, expect to get cut if you don't use it right. HSE ain't got no rules for fitted...

It's not good for making Windsor chairs, definitely not the seats. Alder is just about the softest hardwood but because of its pore structure works well and takes finishes well. We never used it in any chair construction. It does not have the integrity to take the stresses over time. It is...
