Bad luck Pete, I would be happy to see one of cabinets in the flesh, I would be interested to know what one of them would have sold for and what one is worth now after his death, I have never seen one come up for sale, any ideas anyone? Mike, I have looked at your profile, there are no clues as...

No its still going strong and is a bit better now that some of insults have lessened. I still have a few Krenov questions for Mike.

The UPVC windows in my house are 15 years old and show no sign of going brittle, the sealed units are good too, I guess I must be lucky.

Very interesting Mike, I have the book with his students work in it, looking at that most of it is of lookalike work, I thought by that he must have imposed his style on his students, its good to hear that was not the case. Looking at the websites of some of his other past students it seems it...

Well spotted Mike, I must admit I missed all of that back ground stuff in the Sellers Vid`s, I was to busy watching him dent those Pine dovetails with his hammer.

Totally agree with David C, as regard the history lessons, I think you are getting out of your depth again Jacob. I`m waiting for the post where you say you were there to witness the industrial revolution. :wink:

Thanks for that CS, =D>

Woodbrains, you mean Jacob was only acting ignorant, fetch him an Oscar. Krenov was your teacher, please tell me more. How did you get to be taught by him?

I just re-read your post Jacob, Alan Peters, James Krenov, not well known, clearly you need to get out more. Let me try out a few more on you Jacob, David Barron, Tom Fidgen, Rob Cosman, John Makepeace, Chippy Minton do any of these names ring a bell?

I`m not sure GS I have not purchased them. I wonder who directed the trailer.

Please enlighten me Mignal. Odd list! for magazine readers only! Jacob you always ignore the point and come out with something like that, quite pointless. A jig for three blades, mmm, an email to Veritas on its way.

Back from my workshop now, still not in my armchair! Jacob the time saving bit is, you just change the blade, sharpening three blades at a time is time saving, doing most tasks in batch form is time saving, I think industry bears this out. Earlier I thought you said you were fed up with people...

I said I wasn`t going to post again but I don`t want to leave David Charlesworth on his own and besides that I would like to help make this the longest thread ever (how long is that?) Mignal, I won`t be taking my engineers straight edge to Cressing Temple, I`m sure the top craftsmen there will...

Mignal, Idiot am I, strong offensive word. I believe it was not flat for two reasons, one because of the size of the plane he used on a long top and two, the random way in which he planed it. Jacob, sorry to hear you can`t or won`t learn from history. Cottonwood, quickly yes, efficiently not so...

Good to hear from you David, after you pointed out in one of your DVDs about the importance of bench flatness and planed an area of a bench flat to work on, I found it hilarious to watch Paul Sellers flatten the bench he was making, the point being Jacob and you other Sellers fans is, he claimed...

Cheshirechappie, nicely put. Pete, thanks for explaining. Jacob, I still disagree. Cottonwood, probably not, but very flat, no thanks to the CNC.

Pete what is this all about? Pete, Mad Bad and Dangerous to Know It doesn't have to scream to cut wood I killed my dinner with karate kick 'em in the face, taste the body shallow work is the work that I do do you want to sit at my table my fighting fame is fabled and fortune finds me fit and able

Jacob, I dissagree with you about bench flatness.

Andy T & Cottonwood, pictures of fine furniture indeed, I believe Mr Sellers was part of a team working at the White House. Good point Jacob, the bench would get a beginner up and running, up to the point where they would need to plane something very flat, I suppose if you`re working mottos are...

David Charlesworth seems to have gone very quiet, I would like to know what he thinks of Paul Sellers method of sharpening, I`ve been a fan of David`s method, not only for sharpening planes but also in fine tuning them, its methodical and accurately repeatable, Paul Sellers on the other hand, he...
