Its definitely a cool thing. I've enjoyed watching this process, fair play and thank you 👍

I have a few of these lying around as my dad was a braillist. The prodder is known as a stylus and I was interested to read in Bill Jones Notes from the turning shop that he made these and braille 'erasers' from wood and casein. I liked the utililitarian nature of his early work, one regular...

That's a very nice door and surround. Sorry, you don't say what the original finish was? Just stain? I've no experience of Accoya so will leave it to those who know what they're talking about to give advice... 🧐

I've got a bit you can have if you want to pay the postage. II see you are in Norfolk so unfortunately presume collection from Lancs not an option. I think it's the same stuff and that it's well over a meter but I'll measure it and let you know. Pm me a contact number if interested, I can send...

Hi Scooby, I would like that please if still available? I'll pm you now

If Sachakins decides against I'd like second dibs if possible, thanks

Beautiful, bravo Another thing on my (very long) 'to do list' ...

Yes, that's it...

That's the one, though I'm not sure the name's the same (it'll come back to me...)

We threw them at, or just inside, each others feet... It was a game, I forget the name... (thank goodness for boots)

I can't speak for the modern knives but both my Opinels are more than 30 odd years old and take a fine edge, if not mistreated they hold it reasonably well, mine have been stuck in the ground and reground a few times but still in good order. There are without doubt better and more technical...

That's great! I've spent the last few weeks thinking I need something old school like that and made out of beautiful wood like that is many times better. I'll add that to my to do list 👍

I am also quite taken back by my gifts. Not only did I get some amazing things but Santa seemed to know what gaps I have in my armoury!? 🤔 A nifty depth/protrusion gauge. A round skew with a purple heart handle (I think) And a set of burning wires with pink ivory toggles - great! Thanks so much...

Opinel No. 8 always in the gardening trug, easy to sharpen holds a good edge and, after nearly 30 years, feels very natural in use. I have a leatherman multi-tool which I do use for some of the functions but not as a knife as the handle is too bulky and uncomfortable for accurate or prolonged use.

I'm using timber I've resawn from offcuts of green oak beams that I sourced locally. They've been air dried for about 15 months since resawing. I've no idea whether its native oak or european.

Oak is durable enough, tung oil will help keep it looking well. I'm planning on making oak slats for an outdoor table with cast iron ends. The only thing I was concerned about was staining from contact with rust/bare metal. I don't know if I'm worrying too much. I'm still going to try it using...

I like the bottom one particularly, they're quite cool 👍

Hi Scrimper, I'm sure that in time people would find their way to the vid and probably some, like me, watched but had little to say as I'm not a scroll sawer but thought I'd look to see the design, I like old hobbies stuff. I was a bit disappointed not to get to the cutting out and assembling...

Wickes No Nonsense Trade Interior Varnish worked well on my Birch Ply cabinets. Goes on easily enough, doesn't darken it much, looks good, holds up really well and doesn't break the bank. (I have no shares in Wickes)
