Love this story. Wonderful

Good for you! They look great too 👌🏻

That’s really a perfect shout. I think this is the way I’m going to go. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards now for sure. Just need to find some plans. I’m thinking a rectangular box with a bit of depth, with a couple of little floating boxes inside for the lock of hair and hospital band

Great idea!

Hi guys As the title suggests, just wondered if anyone had any suggestions beyond the standard rocking chair, cradle or high chair projects for a new baby? Anything at all suggestion-wise is welcome!

For my bench top I just planed it off, but then read it could damage the plane iron.. and the laminated aprons etc still need doing but have dried already. Thanks for your response btw

Aye - I bought some silverline clamps the other day and once I get the bench finished I'll be following his 'Retrofitting a clamp' video - Link Here - to do similar to mine. Out of interest, can I plane over the squeeze-out from gluing up, or should I try and gently chisel the worst of it off...

All good points - to be honest I’m just following a Paul Sellers build guide and his dimensions were 300x25mm so I got some 25mm stock which I’ll laminate and use for this because I’ve no other use for it. Thanks for the info though!

Ahh I didn’t think of doing that actually - great shout

Yeah I’ve got 4 sash cramps but they’re over 1300mm so I assumed they’d be too strong potentially and might crush the timber.

Hi all As title suggests, I’m after some advice on laminating 25x25mm stock timber. I’ve got 12 in total to glue up for the wellboard on my workbench. Instinct tells me it’s best to glue one at a time because I’d assume they’re more prone to slipping during clamping, but I’m also a bit...

It’s crazy right? I bought a Peter Sefton video on planing and sharpening which I think will cover the specifics I need right now, but there was a specific technique RE cambering that I wanted to look at in the book. I’ve put an alert up for both volume one and two on ABE - results returned...

Phew- thanks for the reassurance! I saw the book recomended by Custard a while ago but when I saw those prices my heart sank! Will hold out a while

Afternoon folks, Pretty hopeful post but just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a copy of the above book? A cursory glance on google suggests prices are in the hundreds.. Thanks

Just seen this - really great work! I’ve tried searching for a book titled ‘woodworking projects’ but can’t find any.. do you have the author’s name by any chance? Thanks very much in advance

Such great detail here - thanks a lot! I've got servicable planes with which to build my bench, then will tackle this once I've got the requisite time to give it proper thought and do enough research. Thanks again

Good shout - I nipped down to my local glass shop and he gave me a piece of double glazing.. just got to figure out how to get one or both the panes out of the fixings! Will see how it goes once I've built my bench and post updates

Thanks for your helpful reply - I’ll have a look at some other videos too. I did think the granite suggestion was a bit Ott! Out of interest, would you suggest trying with the blade or just buying a new one?

Ha - fair enough. Live and learn. New planes being £100-250 meant I thought I’d try it. Like I said, it’s as much about learning as anything else.
