And the left isn't funded by money made on the back of fossil fuels? Rose coloured spectacles. They're all as bad as each other, and they all tell us what they want us to believe.

Ah yes, COP29. The place where our world leaders will fly their huge entourages half way round the world to have a nice jolly with their mates under the pretence of saving that world. Where British leaders will make unrealistic promises on our behalf to save the world, whilst all others are...

Dryad used to make tools for crafts at schools and so on back when I was at school. I remember the scissors we had at school were by them. Looks like they still do https://www.dryadeducation.co.uk/ So yes, it'd be for beating the weave down I reckon.

Wasn't it the late Jim Kingshott, who wrote various articles for "The Woodworker" back in the 80s / 90s, as well as a book about sharpening, who said that the first place he worked as an apprentice was rural, and had a huge ancient table saw driven by an equally old ICE via flat belt?

I cut a head gasket out of solid copper for the BSA M21 I had. They're always blowing composite gaskets. Not quite as complicated as yours Something like 13 holes IIRC. It worked.

Not pretty maybe, but practical. They don't show outside after all, so you're not always seeing them. You could fix some vertical battens to screw the frame to inside the cupboard. and then plug the internal holes, and either plug, or as I said fix architrave over the outside ones. or even fix...

Steel brackets? What about an architrave to cover up the gap?

Technological failure is the one that scares me. Anyone else read, "One Second After" by William R. Forstchen? OK it's a novel (Three in the series), but it's a very believable apocalyptic scenario in America. If it happened in the UK, we'd be done for I reckon...

The opposite side of the Moebius strip? Apparently deja vu is actually hindsight from a split second earlier.

You sure that wasn't just good old fashioned hindsight?

Yes, IIRC the instructions with mine, a fairly early one, are in a spiral bound book. No doubt they're a quality piece of kit. I haven't used it for ages though TBH. I've stopped doing most woodwork that makes dust in any quantity, as I became allergic some time back. Again IIRC, getting the...

I'm glad I didn't try to predict the future.

Exactly my own experience. It's a good tool, and if you want through dovetails on one box, or equally sized boxes, it's great. I made a number of chests like that. I also made a small chest of drawers for artists out of black walnut with IIRC, through dovetails on the front. Equal spaced...

Well I've always ground the blades back on the "grinding angle" using a high speed bench grinder, with a medium wheel that I kept dressed and open faced. I clamp a guide across the blade, literally two pieces of 30mm X 6mm drilled and tapped to make a clamp, and with a very light touch, and...

Not bothered personally. Use two or three irons and cap irons already set up. just change them, and then have a session sharpening. Personally I always keep the sharpening angle short, grinding it back fairly regularly, so they don't take much to sharpen and hone.

He probably doesn't like the way that cats keep on voting for Cat food, instead of dog food. No basic difference between them of course, but he has his principles.

Always just bought them in, or used a dowel plate. Finish doesn't really matter as long as they are the right size.

Absolutely agree, but it does show whether anyone is using it or not. It just makes me look at anything with a zero rating a bit harder.

Not used one for over 40 years. Was the one we had at work a Wolf? Can't remember. I imagine it's more to do with the thickness needed for the magnet to successfully stick to.

The Evolution is the one I've read is good. Don't know about any others.
