What a great piece of advice. Absolutely spot on...<off to get myself a thicknesser now!> Mike

And if everyone else bought a Clifton plane...would you?

I have a similar approach to tools...don't think I've ever paid more than 20 quid for a hand tool, 100 for my Inca bandsaw is the most I've paid for a power tool. Really like your router plane, good job done.

For everything!

Got to do the marking some time!

I bought one of these from StewMac for cutting fret slots when I made my guitar: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tools/Special_tools_for_Fretting/Adjustable_Fret_Slotting_Saw.html?actn=100101&xst=3&xsr=1366&tab=Pictures These are pretty good when you need a precise depth of cut over a curved profile.

And if everyone else jumped off a cliff...would you? (sorry, I'm a teacher!)

I got up at 4am to ignore this!

Don't worry, just hitting out a bit. Not your fault at all, as I said, I was quite cavalier about funerals, but found it was a great help to family and friends. Feel bad about biting, but I reckon you're up to it! I'm a bit up and down at the moment. No hard feelings. Mike

And donate blood if you are able... http://www.blood.co.uk/ Free biccies, tea and a gentle flirt with a nurse!

We have these at school. The 15 year old boys seem particularly good at charging them!!

Make sure the blade is stationary before you try this!!!!! :shock:

Part of the reason that most people are fuzzy about how magnetism works is that they never teach it in schools. I had to wait until my chemistry degree second year to get an explanation, it's something to do with unpaired electrons and symmetry...but I can't for the life of me remember exactly...

About five years ago I was working in the automotive industry as a technical manager for a paint supplier. It was a good job with prospects, but the prospects were in Germany or the USA and my family weren't. I took voluntary redundancy and retrained as a Chemistry teacher. Grant, golden hello...
