Thanks so much for both your details responses. I really appreciate you both taking the time, and you're right, it'll sit further still down the list I'm sure in a week or two's time. I'll make a decision on how to proceed shortly and let you know how it goes. Many thanks!

Morning all, Just wondering if anyone had any experience in repairing chipped lacquer or vinyl on a basin cabinet? I've no idea how this has happened, but there's a lot of chipping behind the basin of the sink in one of the bathrooms. I noticed it bubbling slightly maybe 5 months ago but have...

Hello all, Apologies if this isn’t the right place to post this, but I’ve just had the door handle to my kitchen door come off in my hand and the exposed wood behind is in a right state - see pictures. Any advice on how to fix that mess? I’d normally drill out the screw holes and glue a dowel...

Morning all, Please excuse my idiocy, but I’m having trouble marking out a wide piece of timber with a marking gauge. I’m sure there’s a simple answer and I’m being daft, but any help would be appreciated. My gauge, pictured below, has a screw on the block that clamps the block down whilst...

Hi there I would be happy to take this off your hands, price dependant of course. Feel free to drop me a PM and we can take it from there :)

I saw it on ABE Books when I originally posted this thread for over £300

That's the one - unfortunately I missed it

Hi Many thanks, but that's the one I already had!

Hi there I managed to get a copy for £35 of Volume 2, although I haven't got Volume 1 which I what I think you refer to. I'd be happy to buy this if that's the case?

Thanks for the extra detail D_W I was looking at CBN wheels that would fit the grinder linked above - this one - and can't seem to find any 200 x 20 x 16mm wheels 'on the shelf'. Axminster have wheels of similar sizes, but the closest seems to be 200 x 32mm. I did email a couple of firms who...

As always, wonderfully insightful responses. What a great forum. Sincerely, Someone with a lot to learn! 😌

Hi all Just after some advice on the default position of the frog in jack and smoothing planes. I found a blog post by Paul Sellers which has images of cutaways showing his preferred default alignment here - flush with the back of the throat. Is this the consensus positioning? Both my...

Out of interest, anyone got any recommendations for good tool rests and wheel dressing tools?

Certainly looks it James - cracking suggestion! Thanks

I did that same course around 6 weeks ago, in the same shop, but with Nick Thompson who I think bought the shop from Chris, or did a joint venture, a few years ago. He still champions Chris’ work, so much so that I immediately bought his book when I’d left!

Sorry to continue questioning, but when you say 'full speed' 6 inch grinder, is there a set speed it should (or shouldn't) exceed? I'd rather not drop £4-500 on a Tormek before I know i'll get benefit out of it, but there's grinders available new on a certain brazilian rainforest themed site for...

On this 'dry grinder & course wheel' method, are you referring ideally to an 8 inch CBN wheel used without a water bath?

Out of interest, which Tormek did you go for? and which attachments do you need for plane & chisel sharpening alone? Still completely undecided but wanted to price it up out of interest

When you say it's 'slow', I presume it's much quicker than hand-grinding?
