That is very coarse. I bought a 4 pt thumb hole disston rip saw. It was quite sharp but the set is massive and ripping some pine was mental. The whole bench shook and its not light. It left a three mm kerf. The saw plate is very thick so they must be built for hard work!! Really physical to use...

I like that, it has a structural design to it. Would be nice to see some more picture and a few WIP. Owen

I had a very successful three hours on the weekend and got the chest on the wall. It was a bit of a heave on my own however a good heave and it was up. I started off by filing the lock escutcheon a simple diamond I then set up a simple but sturdy frame to put the french cleat on. This took a...

almost upto date now sorry its a big post! I used some spare plys and some indian grey silverwood to make some shelves and drawer dividers. I glued it in with animal glue so i could reverse it if all went wrong. I then seemed to have been in a photographic hole.. Jumping forward i have stuck...

Next I had to go through the slightly scary task of parting the box. I had thought about using a hand saw and skill. However to much work had been done to rely on my own talent. so i bolted some mdf to my sliding table. Cut through to create a zero clearance. I then remove the riving knife and...

Wow that is really nice. Can't wait to see it with the finish on. Owen

Continuing popped a rebate cutter in the router. Cut out the rebate for the panels. Next i cleaned up the inside of the cabinet with some scraping chiseling. I used some spare wood from the indian grey silverwood to make some panels on the router table. I forgot to take any photos at this...

Continuing. Veneers layed out for order shooting veneers on ingham shooting board Trimming veneer with mitre plane that i part made a while back it was a kind of kit with the base dovetailed together but not cleaned up. Gerd Fristche kit. venneering in bag to plywood, cherry on the opposite...

Nice and elegant and lovely choice of wood. Where is going to go? Owen

After having a bit of a go at banging out some wardrobes which turned out ok'ish. I got some credit from the wife. At this point I decided to start work on a wall tool chest. I have for some time kept my tools on a wall mounted plywood box which while crude has worked well for the last couple...

Have got the news that the firm have fixed the bar together. I am looking forward to a test. If this works I will look at ways of milling up a finer set of teeth. Owen

Sorry for the slight vagueness. I was working on the theory that if you had a retoother lying around then you would know what i was on about. If not then I guess it didn't matter. I went to an engineering place and they seem to think they can repair the bar so fingers crossed. However I would...

A slightly hopeful bump! I suspect this may become a long ebay saga. Owen

I seemed to have accumulated a collection of panel saws that need some work :oops: While i wouldnt say I am a collector i seem to have more than i need along with 6 miter boxes and saws. In the spirit of this i managed to accidently buy a foley retoother and collection of carrier bars. However...

The lock are not so much for security but for holding the door closed and i am concerned the the pins look frail as they seem to be for jewel boxes. Owen

which one? Do i need two levers or one. arghh!!!! :cry:

I am making my clam shaped chest similar (though in no way comparable) to the studley tool chest. So far it has all gone well. I have got a fair few photos of WIP but do not want to jinx the build by posting them till i have got the hinges on. However.. I am stumbling on the lock required, the...

That is a fantastic gift and one which will get years of use. I think people always admire chests like that. owen

Thats very nice. I really like that sort of style of furniture. It always looks very comfortable. Owen

I think it must be something like that however the softer iron is black and the harder steel is shiny. Although I suppose this could be polished again to be shiny see photo at bottom of link http://www.woodworkersinstitute.com/print.asp?p=1249 When you say warm gently I presume you mean with a...
