I have used Simeon Bateman near me in Stourbridge in the past for veneered sheet material and some long lengths of European Oak. You can give them a cutting list too if needed. All my tool racks and cupboards are made of reclaimed pallets, MDF and plywood but as previously mentioned, softwood...

I'm with Matt above. The jig as I see it will do the job and will hold pieces vertically securely. It might come in handy for various other operations like T&G's and I suppose you could use it on a bench saw too. But, I think it's an over-thought method of mitring an end when as Matt said, a...

I bought the Trend one second-hand years ago. It does the job and you can take it apart and clamp the pocket guides singularly. But, none of them are worth the high prices in my opinion unless you're doing production work, maybe. I don't use pocket holes often although it is, in suitable...

I can and regularly do sharpen most blades freehand. I'm in the Jacob corner for most sharpening situations. With practice, it can be faster than setting up a jig. But, when turning, I tend to use a 1" roughing gouge for pen turning and roughing, a bowl gouge and a skew for the majority of what...

I like how you kept the patina.

Plant stand made from some more of the 300 or 500-year-old oak floorboards. And some more stands made from reclaimed Teak lookie-likey decking. The Oak sideboard behind is mainly Mom's old folding table and veneered ply. The blue glass inserts were given to me by a late friend Paul who was...

They are amazing. If you need or want to replace the black pieces with Ebony give me a shout. I always have 50mmx50mm short pieces on offer. Some 300 or 500-year-old (I can't tell which is which though) oak offcuts too.

You didn't ask what MAGA was but didn't know who the present biggest song artist in the world is. Even after what happened in Southport.

Another one here for waterproof PVA. But, I also use UF powdered glue. I use it in the workshop now and again but it has a shelf life. If you have any old Cascamite or similar you can mix it up with tepid water to the consistency of cream and use it as a waterproof sealer for the likes of...

In an attempt to improve dust collection on my bandsaw I designed a couple of curved corner thingies to help the flow of air and to stop the dust collecting in the corners. I also taped draught excluder around the edges to make a seal around the door. Not perfect but a definite improvement.

Wow! I have that jig from many years ago and occasionally use it (very occasionally). I don't know if I paid the equivalent of that price though (I'm too tight-fisted). I have bolted it to a square bar to fit my homemade Wolverine-type system.

Candle/Spill box Some more 'nephew donated' timber. This is Oak from premises built in the 1520s. It later had a refurb in 1735 where the building was extended. So, these floorboard off-cuts are from either or both of these eras. It's held together with glue and dowels and there's a piece of...

Some bread peels. My nephew was working on converting some Victorian houses and one of them had to have the Redwood stairs replaced. I ended up with the salvageable pieces. Most of the inserts are pieces from the 'that might come in handy' off-cuts bin. Redwood, Oak and Chestnut. Redwood and...

Scottish Humour. Love it.
