    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Ah! Sweet! If I'd have made the cupboard or the table as my first projects I'd have been very proud - they look fab! Well done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Storage suggestions required.

    Cutting square with a hand held circular saw

    If it's a narrow length then won't the fence on your circular saw do what you want? Anything to wide for that should be covered by a straight edge on the board. These days I'm fortunate enough to have a track saw and a table saw which make these tasks easier, but all still achievable without...

    Rider Planes

    I think I'm going for the Veritas. The overwhelming opinion is that I can't go wrong if I do, although I might be paying for more than I need, it should see me out so why not. The difference in cost is only £50 compared to the Wood river etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Cutting square with a hand held circular saw

    If you have narrow boards then you can use a speed square - clamp it in place and then run the saw along the edge. I think most of the guides shown hear will have issues with narrow boards and a speed square will cost about £7. If you have a lot of narrow boards to cross cut then a mitre saw...

    Whatever happened to.....

    Princess Ann will be at the Scotland Rugby games - she was a couple of weeks ago. I think Clive Anderson didn't do his career any favours with "that" interview. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rider Planes

    I think I'm heading towards the Veritas - typical! Although it's a lot cheaper than I thought it was. Must have had a big price drop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rider Planes

    Thanks Peter, I missed your post initially and have just seen it. That possibly makes my decision. I just need to consider the fact that it could be like Festool and be a slippery slope buying into Veritas! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rider Planes

    Rider Planes

    "Wood River from Peter Sefton ? Very good review here http://gshaydon.co.uk/blog/woodriver-plane-review" Sorry I missed that earlier and then saw the plane on the site! Do you have any experience of using it?

    Rider Planes

    With regards to 2nd hand, I don't know enough about fettling etc. so I want to make sure I buy something good that doesn't need me to do anything to it - except hone the blade.

    Just found this Woodriver and wondered if it was any good: http://woodworkersworkshop.co.uk/epages ... /WR_BLKLOW

    Rider Planes

    I was told that if you're going to use a tool once then buy the cheapest, if you use it once in a while pay an average amount and if you use it daily then buy the best. I'm in the middle group so looking for a middle option. So far I've got Rider and QS any others I should lol at? Sent from...

    Cutting square with a hand held circular saw

    Whack a straight piece of wood down on the board and run the saw along that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rider Planes

    The QS looks interesting and I can go to that. I think to put it in car terms the Veritas is the Ferrari, the Draper is the Dacia and I'm probably looking for a Volvo. I want something that is solid and reliable but it doesn't need to be flashy. I don't want to have to fettle it, I just want to...

    Norris Planes

    Yeah me to! I've seen something that I want but don't want someone else to make an offer and finish the auction early so I'll make an offer. If the seller doesn't want to sell it at the price then they say No, if they do then we do a deal. Nothing wrong with that. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Rider Planes

    I'm looking to get one or two planes. Mainly I'm after a block plane. I'm not going to spend £200 on a Veritas and think the Rider planes at around £55 is about the sort of budget I'm looking at so two questions: 1) Anyone got any of the Rider planes and able to give an opinion about them? 2)...

    Oh dear! I'd not seen my Dr for about 10 years, and I've seen her a number of times recently so I hope I don't need her for tiling! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
