I don't use spray glue, its to much fuss & mess I print onto A4 self adhesive sheets, slap on the workpiece, once cut a wipe over with turps subs and 30 seconds later the remainder generally peels off in one piece leaving no residue Cost is about .07p per sheet much less than spray glue and...

A picture of the Hegner would help to show what can be done On the first point when I started using a Hegner I had the same problem, I used a piece of brass window lock that happened to be the right size, pushed behind the top clamp to stop it rocking, clamp down the thumb screw and tighten...

Excellent work as usual Brian I particularly like the Bull

I know you said you don't favour the Henry type however, I have had several different hoovers over the years, and like you favoured the uprights over the Henry type I have had Dysons, worked well but broke down over a period several times, plus many others of various brands, all did a job of...

I have only come across the Diamond scroll saw a couple of times, but not had the chance to try one to see what they are like Interesting to find they were manufactured about ten miles from where I was born and the same place where I went to school, Hinckley in Leicestershire As to more...

Many thanks, that was my thought also It could almost be described as "pretty" , certainly I haven't seen a similar one, just surprised there does not appear to be a makers mark on it Another clue I forgot to mention, it has a central pin dot in the middle of the flat head The handle is...

Many thanks, I think you definitely have it there I had considered it wasn't an English chisel, but hadn't found a contender Its these little puzzles that are very satisfying to crack, many thanks for that I shall have a read up on Mr KUHN Its a very pleasant little tool, and very...

Hi all I like to pick up a few bits and pieces at boot sales etc I picked up this nice little 4oz hammer the other day Its very nicely made, I haven't seen another like it, I was surprised there wasn't a makers mark or name anywhere on it Not sure of its original purpose, jewellery...

Many thanks for looking for me I too am baffled as to what its meant to represent, I wondered if it was an incorporation of an A , it looks like a cantilever type bridge, like you find in Holland but it may be something entirely different

Many thanks

I tried again for a better photo Not sure if it is or not

Thanks for your reply Yes it has me baffled for now, its a thin blade and they stamped it slightly skew whiff so the makers name is half on and half off the blade Best I could make of it was F. then R? or K? ? H N The annoying thing is I think I have seen this mark before but can't...

Hi all Wondering if anyone recognises the makers mark on this chisel please Sorry for the photo but its the best I could do Its the smallest of the four in the other picture Cheers

Well the second one done for our eldest daughter

You will find that the best blade is often the one you have fitted ;-) Personally I think there is a lot of overhype on blades I tend to use mostly 3 & 5 reverse skip tooth , the reverse cleans the cut from the bottom I do have a variety of other blades but mostly use the aforementioned but...

Why not post a picture of your "thing" ;-) 1" ash is not the easiest thing to start off with , I assume you mean a No3 blade size? As to cleaning the wood, assuming you sanded before cutting, the better the blade the less the cleaning you will find I use a fairly soft brush to brush the...

Thank you kind sir On with the next one now, I will post when completed

We only have one at home now, she moved out for ten years, but we didn't move quickly enough and she came back ;-) The other two have their own places As to getting middle daughter to sweep up, I would just be happy if she picked up after herself !

Car boot sales are another good source Pine shelves, *new* cutting boards (avoid used) I tend to pay .50p to £1 for either I try and reuse wood wherever I can but sometimes you have to resort to buying some, check ply around the edges for any voids (gaps between the layers) If there are...

Thanks Brian The trouble is I now have to do a Hufflepuff for our eldest next ;-)
