Tim, that's utter nonsense and you either misunderstood or the person speaking was not a police officer (I am) or was having a laugh. If someone breaks into your workshop and gets hurt they would have absolutely no grounds to sue you unless you had done something totally over the top and to be...

I would say that it is possible to become too focussed on security. You will never beat a determined thief who knows what they are after, so the best you can do is deter and move them on to the next premises. There are obviously loads of factors that come in to play here (ease of access to...

Lovely Jimi. What does Alfie think of the hide glue?

This is the wood threading kit; http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-wo ... utting-kit They also sell numerous chucks and faceplates in that size. Good luck.

Depending on how much the faceplates are, Axi do a threading kit in that size for about £50. I've got one and it's good and you could make up your own faceplates in whatever size you wanted then. Just a thought and wilkommen nach dem, erm, forum (mein Deutsch ist auch rusty. Es tut Mir leid).

Thanks Andy, I've just used this reviver to start the clean-up of a load of old woodies which I have been given. There's some crackers in amongst the crap, but sadly, all had been left in a damp place and need quite a bit of TLC. All are now looking much better though, so cheers for that.

I have received the plane and spent some time last night playing with it. I have to say, I love it and if I wasn't skinter than skint at the moment, I would now own one of these planes. It will almost certainly be my next purchase and I want to really thank Matthew for this passaround and...

Using the section of timber where it naturally bends like that would be strongest I would think. For example, where a branch joins the trunk.

Jimi, what a great answer, although I am sorry for your loss. Keep up the great work mate.

Looking good Jimi and I like the way the stamp looks. It somehow ages the handle to my eyes. If it isn't too personal a question, what does the 'KT' stand for?

Stunning!

Some cracking finds there memzey. The Disston saw looks lovely, with great figuring in the burr (oak?) handle. The wooden thing you mention is a spokeshave (assuming you weren't taking the mick). Paul Sellers has recently blogged quite a bit about them if you're interested in cleaning it up...

Just let Ian at Tuffsaws know and he'll tell you what you need. Any issues, PM me, I've got the same saw (and it's great).

When it arrives with me, I think that I might just cover the unboxing, as I'm unlikely to have anything to add to Graham's excellent video :)

Stewie, many thanks for that, I find the mechanics fascinating. I'm also interested in how well it leaves the surface of the wood, which seems counter-intuitive to me. Another one for the list I think :)

Looks lovely Stewie. I'd like to see some close-ups of the planed wood and the blade teeth if that's possible?

Really enjoying the updates Bern, thanks. I wish I'd had the money, that looks like a fantastic course - must save up for next time!...maybe when my daughter's left home in 25 years or so :lol: Good luck with the rest of the week and keep those updates coming.

Good perseverance mate, you'll be making things in no time.

There is some stunning work posted here! This is the latest thing I made - it's a way for my daughter to safely pull herself up and was inspired by her pulling a table over on top of her;

Paul, I totally understand about not having thirty quid, but I would put your foot on the ball and get them from the library or spend some time googling around bench-building before you start. A stitch in time and all that. Anyway, good luck with it.
