Anyone bought a plane from here? - K & M Wholesale Suppliers Ltd I bought a BK3 MK2 bandsaw fence from them and it looks ok and does the job. Was thinking of buying one of their value planes to see if it’s better than the eBay scrap I currently have Edit: just notice these are faithful planes...

Was that the tracing paper stuff?

You can fill it in beforehand but have to answer it like it was the 23rd of March.

Just spent a few hours with hand plane fettling my latest project. Amazed on the amount of shavings you can produce. Well, I was about to call it a night so got my Lidl shop vac out, set it up and switched it on then watched in horror as I blew all the shavings towards the other side of the...

Same, that’s why it takes me ten times longer to do a simple task. Spend longer hunting for stuff.

I’m on more tablets per day that I care to count for chest pain and apart from the codine, I buy the rest from Wilko/Boyes/B&M/Aldi/Lidl or whatever shop is cheaper. Most are between 45 and 65p per box.

I was told to start taking them last week as my blood tests said my vitamin D level was really bad. Told to buy them over the counter, think a months supply was less than £2 and that’s for the max strength ones.

Back in Coatbridge, Scotland, remember going to the doctors, you walked in the door, spoke to the receptionist who handed you your medical notes and then you went and sat on plastic row of (bright orange) seats. As the next patient when in to see the doctor, you all stood up and shuffled down...

But if you pack it in well you can usually get away with it.

Yeah, space is always the issue. I picked up a old Record Power BK3 MKII bandsaw and I’m struggling to find a place for it in my little corner of the garage. It’s currently sat on my make shift work table which one day will be replaced with a proper bench. Once I have space to store the wood and...

What about buying a 1/4 bottle of whisky? Haven’t see one of them in a while. And when everyone had zippo lighters, we sold small gel capsules that had lighter fluid in it. One more, who remembers Woodbine?

Shops closing early on a Wednesday. Chap selling matches and laces down the high street. 50p in the electric meter. Butchers having saw dust on the floor. Black and white tv with a dial that you turned to tune a channel. Having a physical lock on the telephone dial. Bin men coming round...

What ever you do, when you buy it from eBay, DON’T tell the wife. I bought a second hand Jack plane and she kicks off as she bought me a no3 Stanley as a valentines present. Tried to explain that they are for different jobs so I will use both. I even used the “you have a size 4 knitting needle...

I constantly have four mice traps down in the garage as we get them coming from the surrounding fields. We occasionally get rats cutting across our back garden, they seem to go between houses either side of us. Our neighbour had an air rifle set up next to the backdoor to take shots at them as...
