*** Arse

Could you wrap/seal it in some breather membrane after each session and leave it in the barn?. That might reduce any condensing, keep the humidity constant and save any potential damage due to moving etc. Just a thought.

And dispersing methane.

Well I saw that and dismissed it as a krap looking bodge to be honest, is it safe? accurate or quick?. How good is it? I want to decide on a fine adjustable router lift before I build a decent new table, but it has got to be a bit near the mark and I haven't seen much that impresses me so far...

Oh dear! another senior moment :roll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotatio ... c9PhfpnNlA Love the accent...

I just watched this an I have to say I think it's the best looking diy router lift I've seen so far. I think I will make this unless someone has a better one??

Shame there isn't an old Roman chippy on here, I bet he would solve any clamping problem with a couple of bits of rough sawn crap wedged against a ceiling joist or something. That was CRAP not rubbish perhaps I should have type **** or *****, or :lol:

I hung up a load of old rusty Mackerel feathers (kind of like a spiders web) in my bottom shed many years ago after we were plagued by shed thefts. Won't tell you what happened. The irony is, I left a knackered hover mower out on clear view in front of my house in the hope it would get...

Your son should treasure that. As a whole, it is a poem, an excellent idea and an excellent and well made piece that should last for generations to come. Brilliant idea.

I think it just makes dipshit's feel like, they look like, they know what, they are doing.

My old Governor use to say, "don't thank me, thank my teacher". He retired when I was 16/17 and I served out my apprenticeship with many other good tradesmen of his era but he is the man I always think of as my teacher and I never forgot those words. Special bonds with older men that gave you...

Thanks for all that guys, I have ordered a Faithfull honing guide just to get the knackered blade back to an accurate angle and this http://www.uktoolcentre.co.uk/Shop/p~11 ... 0wod3_YL2w cheap faithfull diamond stone to **** about with and perhaps use to flatten out the two old wet/oil stones...

Thank you.

Just bought my first hand planes in a very long time, a Stanley 5 jack and a 4.1/2 smoother, both are in fantastic near unused condition and I'm well pleased for what I paid for them. The 5 is in it's original 'from the factory' condition and has not been used at all by the look of it but the 4...

I think a 3" cut nail accent would look better.

The name "story stick" probably originates with stair makers. The basic starting "rod" is a literal stick or lath; one end on the floor and the other end against the edge of the floor above and marked (i.e. measuring the "storey" height). As Paddy said to Mick when laying down the flagpole to...

This was originally used by other trades to behead krap plasterers and we should still be using them today.

Trouble is after using a well loved old elu (I have the TGS 172) everything else seems like getting a mistress... Fantastic old beasts that were the best in their day, I paid over £1,300.00 for mine from 'Skillmans' opposite Woolwich ferry back in about 1980. Best bit of kit (along with the...

The cutting inaccuracy I'm trying to get rid of is circa 0.5mm difference on the diagonal measurements of a panel sized 2200x574mm. If you don't mind me asking, what are you making that require such accuracy?

Looks like a great advert for linseed oil paint or just plain linseed oil to me, all modern exterior paints seem to do is sit on the surface and try to waterproof the wood and as soon as that skin is broken water gets in. Linseed oil makes the wood water repellent if it is soaked in at its...
