I Have Rosewood ( thought to be Indian but as there are over 200 species - I am labelling it just "rosewood" Size - 770 x 40 x 25mm I have had this for over 30 years - Kept in dry storage. As you may be aware you can no longer import Rosewood - so not only is this rare- but the quality of it...

Rare plane to come across now especially in this condition - complete and without and chips and nicks . I have scoured to internet to see what price they have sold for etc - there is one on eBay now ( very rough) for £85. I think a good and fair price for this is £70 plus P&P. SOLD

This is a brand new plane ( got it many years ago but never ever used it) It still has the original grind. I think they are selling for around £65 now so asking £30 plus post and packing which I think is fair. - Or you can collect from Liverpool.

Thanks for the info - The only problem is with these set ups - they are “ stationary “ if you get what I mean . If you are cutting a lot of the same size timber I suppose it dosent matter - but if like me you are cutting different sizes it becomes a pain to keep on adjusting the set up . To be...

Personally - as you have stated it is going to be for heavy use in a busy kitchen area - I would forget about wax altogether. I would take it to local finishes and get them to put a two-pack lacquer on- failing that - Strip all the wax off yourself, and apply coats of polyurethane varnish.

I have not used Osmo Polyx- So I can not comment on this product. I would suggest using a good matt polyurethane varnish myself. ( First coat thinned down with 10% white spirit) and de nib in between coats. The problem you may have ( as like all oil finishes) they tend to yellow after a while...

I feel I'm an authority on parquet flooring after my nightmare! - Anyway - to your question - I have just had my floor refinished - the gaps in the floor was finished using a resin and the sawdust from the floor when sanded. I previously used PVA and the sawdust in my other room ( which is beech...

Sorry for the late reply - No - I have been wondering about putting something above it - Like a floating hood or similar - I have looked at the retail gizmos you can buy - but was hoping someone on here had something and would like to share.

Hi Folks- I have an Old Wadkin Panel saw (AGS 10") Its a great machine but no matter what I have tried- I can't get proper dust extraction from it. As you can see from pics- I bored a hole in the bottom of it to accept a 4" - could be 5" hose. I made a box section to cover the motor and large...

Thank you all for all the advice and help. I am still not sure now which to go for - I may to be honest to go for a bench grinder with a CBN wheel- - I suppose for the woodturning gouges really. As I already have the Veritas Honing system with Ceramic , Diamond and water stones-. I did a long...

I’ve updated the title of this post hoping I may get more input. At the moment I am swaying towards the Tormek T8 - But would love to hear your opinions . Thanks

General bench tools really- having said that - if I just need an edge putting back on them iI use my - mixture of Ceramic, Waterstones and diamond stones. Its when I need more than a edge putting on them. As for woodturning as you probably know - you have to regularly sharpen them - as you are...

Hey all- thanks for all the info /input So to answer some of the questions- yes it does feel a little oil and if does have a nice aromatic smell - Here are some other pics which may be helpful ( sorry only have iPhone available . ) I want to try and nail it down to what it is - as I am...
