Brilliant ! Whats the thickness of long to short grain. From the photos my guess is 2mm long to 7mm short Are the thicknesses parallel ? Does type of glue matter?

great explanation! Hope we will see more of these now. FYI the auto subtitles were not bang on but the gist was good enough to follow. I made one of these (based on you original) years ago. Never told you this but: As you know I used to be involved in the nuclear industry and was involved in...

I needed a few 2mm drill bits. I knew this was a risk but it was only 2 quid. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01 ... UTF8&psc=1 They have turned up yesterday and I was drilling some brass this afternoon and was very impressed. 10x2mm would have been very good value on their own.

Well you now know for sure that what folks were saying is good advice. Old furniture can be a good source of decent wood. Much to my wife's annoyance I have difficulty passing by a skip without a rummage

Given your availability problem why are you convinced you "need" a TS? Obviously for most of us it's a cheapish option. You have a decent BS, IIRC. Surely that and a decent track saw are the way forward?

I seem to remember someone here made an ashes box. The wicker ones are quite a bit priceyer than oak faced chipboard. DAMHIKT!

https://www.workshopheaven.com/quangshe ... plane.html My guess this will be lots better than the axi offering, it will certainly be fit for use out of box as the qc is far better.

Agree on all counts. Obviously the eyes are the priority but why not protect the rest of your face too.

I think a reputable builder would suggest options and the pros and cons. Don't forget run off and drainage The chap near me built a large garage into a left to right slope. Last summer was the first time in ten years the interior has not resembled a paddling pool.

D for me too. Dont like the latter three at all.

Ahh! .......but did he nick any pencils ?

I bought a bench grinder from Axminster and it was dangerously faulty out of box, so your experiences (like mine ) are neither here nor there. What matters is what happens afterwards. So did Charnwood reimbuse you without quibble? I bought a ex demo table saw from Charnwood and it developed a...

Not looked at street view for our street for a while. Just done it. I can see my three doors up neighbough walking his dog, both his and the dog's face are pixelated 8)

As a matter of interest, anyone know the going rate for a decent condition pre war 5 1/2. I am neither buying nor selling, but from browsing at tool auctions etc I thought the prices were well north of 60 quid.

For what you have got its quite decent for the price. To my eyes it looks like a straight 1960's-70's plane not a mix of parts. I think you would struggle to dispute what you have received. A hours fettling and it should perform as good as a new one in the £100+ bracket. Shame you are no where...

Had a parcel from Amazon yesterday. Tracking says "handed to resident". No you didn't you lying sod, you left it on the doorstep in the rain for all passers by to see. Even though there were two people in the house :x

The post about making something for your girlfriend got me thinking. The first thing I made for our future home (you did not get shacked up before you were married in them days :shock: ) was a bread board, made from a laboratory bench found in the university skip. It's still in daily use 42...

So long as you grind carefully and properly there is nowt wrong with carbon steel. I'd not rush out to buy HSS as your turning will not miraculously improve as a result. Like most turners I have umpteen chisels but only use 3 or 4 , 90% of the time.
