The power of the UK workshop Forum, what next, the power to influence Government?!

condeesteso, I don`t usually like metal and wood mixed in furniture, but I really like that table. Thanks for the info on the designer surely Marc fish was influenced by him. If its not too personal a question, what is the table valued at now? Mark white

Who is or was Matthew Hilton, I liked to know. Thanks for your comments I couldn`t agree more.

I recently watched the new youtube Marc Fish video, I posted a comment which said "Great furniture, brilliant designs, perfectly made. How does that tambour work? How is that table constructed? How does his shirt stay so white after a day in the workshop?" I meant what I said the shirt bit was...

The name is written on the timber, it is a fairly dark wood, reddish brown rather than black.

Yandles have some hardwood called Gonbena, I`ve Googled it but can find nothing about it, the chap at Yandles on Saturday knew nothing about it either. does anyone out there know anything about it?

Good idea Alf, I`m sure many of us would come. Mark W

I will be going to to the Axmister show, I hope this is the start of many to come. Mark w

I suppose you are both right, but the European Woodworking show is in October, thats getting a little to close to winter for my liking. The barns at Cressing are nice, but West Dean was a better venue in my opinion. I think its a shame that Westonbirt will not have the master classes, although...

Is anyone else out there annoyed at the decision Classic handtools have made by removing master classes from Westonbirt and moving them to Cressing Temple. is there much point in going to Westonbirt? And does anyone else find the traveling to Cressing difficult? Regards, Mark w

Why not buy the Veritas mark 2, cheaper and easier to use. Mark W

I went to Westonbirt today, Garrett Hack and James Mursell were good and so was Peter Berry, I`m not a woodcarver but you didn`t need to be to find him entertaining, if the carving work fell through I`m sure he could make it as a stand up comedian, a bit like John shuttleworth (youtube if you...

Surely the blade has got to be Blue Steelton. Sorry! Mark W

I`ve just read most of the posts in this thread and something has just occurred to me, if our machines are set accurately and we measure things with engineering tools and work to tolerances normally reserved for the aerospace industry do we need hand tools at all? If say you have made a frame...

Lasos, I live in Glastonbury, what will you be doing here in June? Mark W

I have just bought and used the Veritas fine tooth dovetail saw, if anybody out there is thinking of buying a dovetail saw this should be at the top of your list. I also own a Lie Nielsen dovetail saw and have always thought it was bit course, in my humble opinion the Veritas is better and to...

I use the standard male/female masons mitre. Biscuit joint and bolt the worktop joint, if you use a biscuit cutter that fits in a router you can slot very close to the post form edge and the back edge of the tops, this will help to hold the top together in the most vulnerable places, glue the...
