The stringing is back dyed cherry/sycamore. I was trying to go for a more elegant trim than just rounding over

Not very exciting but made this wall and shelf unit in english cherry and some maple mdf back panels. Took a while but i am fairly happy. The 41/2 metre worktop was challenging to make

i have been a woodworker a few years (20) and i think its easy to be cynical and mock these programs and the people on them. i must admit i found the pyjama guy a bit much. When it first started i was a bit cynical too. However my kids ,who despite my best efforts have never really gone woody...

I have one two. I have been missing the stock holders. Been meaning to make some on the lathe but never got round to it

i bought a cheaper 3d prinder an anycubic model. It was fine when i started but i got really frustrated that 1/3 of prints had defects and i spent more time faffing with it than printing. I then spent £600 on a qidi xplus. Like night and day spent all my time printing stuff without any major...

Planes come down a lot to what point you are using them, if you are doing a lot of wood prep then more planes are handy and bigger is also handy. If you are just fine tuning stuff after using machines then a number 4 or 3 may be ok. Everyone seems to have there own favorites and i think there...

I will take measurement for you in morning

I have one if you are stilllooking. Owen

i have one, i like the small footprint and in a small garage thats useful. Not sure fittinga lathe in is a sensible suggestion, and then how would you sharpen your turning chisels etc if you had a piece in the lathe? I use it a lot as a linisher and as a belt sander for pieces of metal and wood...

I too started with some pretty awful tools 25 years ago and have built up a fairly extensive collection of metal junk as wife calls it. I think having a bad tool for a while makes you appreciate good tools. Ie my first planes were some cheap ones from b and q and i could never undertand why they...

can i suggest 3d printing i note that some designs exist and you could probably get someone to print this at 1/4 of the costs of the unit. I have a 3d printer and have done lots in abs and its very good. Firms offer it see attcahed link "Ultimate" Inca Bandsaw Dust Collection i have no...

i bought a cordless milwaukee, as i have to lug it up and down my garden for a big decking project. My garden is like a ski slope. I have been happy with it so far. Its nice not trailing a 30m extension cord through the bushes. Wish it wasnt so heavy mind you still. Not sure i will be keeping...

yes my apologies, the door rating is linked to its testing and an fd 60 will not be the same as a fd30. However its end rating in us will be determined by its frame seal hinges etc. So plonking a fd60 door into a frame with the wrong hinges, rebate and seals etc will not give a better fire...

I have seen planes with undersized frogs in them, suggesting that people have used 4's in 4 1/2 i am not sure how they have done that but it seemed to work for them... i suggest at times we over worry. I have seen some very well worn welded up planes suggesting that we worry a bit too much about...

As a letting agent thios is a daily consideration. The fire doors rating is affected by the material is composed of and its use. The application of varius seals affects its rating in the property. ie if the door is for House in multiple occupation the alarm system dictates the type of strip. Ie...

nice work. good looking vice. Yes its amazing how something 100 years ago is going strong but some vices made now will struggle to do 10 years of moderate work. Its like record vices they are soooo expensive new but tehre must be 100s of 1000s of them in active service. I am always baffled why...

number 8 stuff tend to be expensive as they are not so common. Best bet may be a cut down model that someone has dropped. I saw a thread on here for people asking for no8 irons even they are tricky to find cheap. Love a number 8, like 7 but bigger and better imho.

have you looked at japanese framing chisels, i have two big boys that i used on a job recently. Flat, tough and seemed to hold and edge really well. They come up on ebay japan quite a bit. Underrated in my opinion.

pitting is increasingly common i find as the planes are all getting on a bit. Plus many people dont have the love for old tools or the knowledge. I buy my share at auctions and the number i see that have flash rusted or pitted is increased despite often still being in original boxes. I suspect...
