No tattoos for me, full head of head. Plus i think he was an american. It would be nice to meet up i would prefer to have some company. I have been a fair few times but avoid the international as i tend to use stuff. If i went to that i would probably buy a pricelesd axe sharpen it and then...

I blame David Stanley for getting me selling on ebay. It was the left over stuff from purchases that got me into selling a few tools. I reckon when i go to the auction i keep half and self half. In this one i bought some wood ( they need to sell more) and some lathe tools for my new to me...

I have been busy in the last few months finishing off my hall. Its a 1980's bungalow which has stairs leading to the entrance. Confusing. A while ago i decided to panel it. This is the result. I rather madly decided to veneer all the rails in sycamore and hand veneer the panels with a sycamore...

I am must admit that i am a bit overwhelmed by the response, i though that saw sharpening was fairly common and everybody was getting down with the filing. Clearly not. If i can get the results that people are happy with its something that i would be happy to offer to forum members. A cup of...

I quite like saw sharpening, i find it strangely theraputic. As such i would like to offer free hand saw sharpening for anyone that is interested. Mainly i would like feedback on the sharpening etc to see if they are to forum standards and to hone my technique. As such i would like saws that are...

Metabo do a paint stripper that would do the job. It got a rotating cutter block to strip a thin layer off. I only know about this because I bought one recently at an auction and had a play with it. Metabo lf724 is the new model. Might be a midway solution. It's for sale now but this is not an...
