I think a slim line key cupboard would be very nice. Owen

Now you understand why i was scared, its like science! Interesting book might pick up a copy. Owen

Sorry to sound dense, but whats a clearance angle. Sorry to hear you are not getting much done. Owen

Whoops, didn't realize that!! No i didn't try the other way i was too scared. I will have a try when i am next in the shop. I have to say the difference on the angle must be small as they worked so well :( Plus i need some slipstones or something. One small question when using the planes are...

Thankyou tony. I will get some ordered on monday. Owen

After purchasing 20 or so moulding planes i have begun to sharpen them. Well its safe to say its quite a big job. After looking on the web and at ALf pages it was obvious that some degree of skill was required and this left me a little worried. So after some lateral thinking i have come up with...

Despite having access to the web i am struggling to find the disposble blades for a delta 22-565 thicknesser. I am about to start a new project with some nice timber and after sharpening my pencils i like to have sharp blades. :lol: Any help gratefully recieved Owen

Don,t know much about trains but seems a shame to chop mice oak into sleepers. Stuff that size would be lovely to have and make some furniture with. Owen

Very nice piece that, i think the woods compliment each other well. It will hopefully age well. owen

Interesting conversation this one. I have found pleading ignorance in trade shops is never treated with distain they are always keen to help. In shops if you don't go in when they are busy they are often quite bored and so are keen to help. I will always buy from the shop if they have helped...

Very Nice table. Good to see all the work in progress. Thats a good idea for storage. owen

Looks so uncomfortable. NUff said Owen

Yes you are making sense. I will use strips i think. Thick wood would be a waste on my talents. Thankyou for the advice i always like to minimise mistakes before i start and the advise on here is so usefull when you atart out. Owen

I am joining the boards face to face to cfreate thickness. I am corect in assuming i should create the thickness by joining lots of strips together the cut the scallops or just but thicker wood? Sorry about delay in response but internet down. Sorry to sound a bit stupid in all this. Owen

Right, Thankyou i will carry on drawing. I get a bit worried about forgetting something really basic when i start making something in my head. Owen

That will overdo my design. Am i correct in interpreting that as back to the design board? Owen

Possibly cherry or maybe sycamore

I have started designing my next project and i have a wood movement question. I am going to build a dovetail box anout 60cm by 40 by 40cm. The box will be solid wood and while the inside will the square the outsides will be tapered. I was so taken by the fluting of Philly's table i am stealing...

Interesting stuff that about wood and timber. So in summary not much is happening to deal with the long term. Anywhere have some mature walnut trees i would love to see what one looks like? Owen

I have just come back from a relaxing holiday in France and was around the Fontainbleau forest which i have visted several times. It occured to me that the woods were a well managed collection of Oak, beech and other hardwoods along with some pine. Regular foresting of the hardwoods seemed to...
