Cheers Klaus I have a few projects to get out of the way and then I'm going to start to make a few saws. :) I was just researching and noticed your post :) Thanks again for taking the time to document how you go about making your saws! Dave

A quick and very cheap way to sharpen a knife is to use an old plate :) No I've not been drinking super strength or been taking illegal substances! My wife and sons are both chefs and have some very nice and expensive knifes, but neither of them can get a decent edge by using a knife steel, so...

Hi Adam Sorry I've only just seen your post! I haven't tried the chisel out yet but will do over the next few weeks as I have some braces to shape. I was taught to sharpen freehand when I was an apprentice many years ago, but I now use the Veritas mark II honing guide. When I was working as a...

Hi I took a few pics of my Planner/Thicknesser and saw setup so you can see how I run my saw and my P/T This is the motor on my set up! This shows my P/T belt which is straight and goes the correct way with the motor. To use the saw on my set up I need put the drive belt into a...

Hi I have the larger version of Kity tools you have My saw table is one end of the tool stand and my planer is on the side pretty much the same as yours is laid out, To run the planer you will have to turn the belt into a figure 8 as this makes the cutter block turn in the right direction. I...

Bob you're correct its not the K5 and I'm not sure what the correct name is for it :) All the machines are attached to a green chipboard table with a frame with castors so you can move the machines about! I bought it about 8 years ago from a guy in his 90's who had bought it new in the 80's -...

I also have the older model of the Kity combination machine (I don't have the morticer table) and its been a great machine :) The 10" x 6" planer has given sterling service and has performed well whatever i have put over or under it! I would like to do more with it and would be grateful for...

I bought a couple of pairing chisels from Wilco last year! After receiving the chisels and discovering what fantastic quality they were I decided that I would order some more. So I ordered a 12mm, 18mm and 25mm Pairing chisels. I also ordered a Bracing chisel; which is used in guitar making...

I have some of Wilco's pairing chisels and would like to say that they are fantastic :) I'm just waiting for my next few to be sent out when they are ready! I would encourage anyone who was looking for really nice tools to consider Wilco as his prices are competitive and are custom made to...

Hi Rich I bought 4 of these from Amazon a while ago: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000D ... prod_title The shipping was quite cheap :) and I didn't get any import duty on them; which made a nice change :) All the best Dave
