Well if you were a good shot it wouldn't be a problem :)

As you asked, No clearly not, from any manufacturer. I think you have to be a little realistic about what you can expect from a plane, it is meant to be treated with some respect and used in an environment where the likely hood of being dropped 3 feet onto rubber or wood floor should be the...

Hi I have some direct quotes/precised from Clifton/Clico follows When iron is cast there is a tendency for thin sections to cool faster then thicker, creating stresses within the csting making it weak and brittle.. To avoid this Clifton planes are cast with up to 10mm additional shaping to...

Hi Esc Good to see some photos of the excellent and has to be said very tidy "retreat", I like the effect of the roof, what have you covered it with on the outside? That tool cabinet, clearly isn't going to be big enough after the next classichandtool visit :-) Cheers Alan

Ahh I see. My interpretation of your design was a sort of Roman take on it, where the centre is open ,to my mind there is no advantage in having the tub completely covered except on the "unusually (hmmm)" rare occasions when it's raining at the same time. The pleasure of the open sky for the...

Very nice Mailee, I have a question about your trellis. What wood is it? redwood or whitewood. Presumably you made that too, what size strips did you use and how have you fixed them at crossovers. I ask because I have a similar project to tackle this week but without the roof. As an aside...

Me too, You can find it by going to the jump to forum box at the bottom right in the drop down box it's the very bottom option to get the competition forum. Alan

Hi Darren As usual of late I am going to recommend something slightly over your budget because of it's apparent suitability to meet your needs http://tritontools.co.uk/product_info.p ... ts_id=1042 I have the bigger model and it is a beast, a lucky find on ebay. Cheers Alan

I recently went through this and there are a couple of plus and minus. Lie Nielsen themselves won't undercut their resellers so their price is top. I found I could get cheaper in the states but they wouldn't post to UK or didn't have all I wanted. Axminster ran at about 20% dearer than Lie...

Tony is right about the 4300 http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Axmi ... 364409.htm I know it's outside your budget but see if you can think of stretching, it's on offer at the moment. I was lucky enough to buy the Europac version at about £500 but the axminster has a larger cast table and ball...

I can't be 100% sure of this but I think the potential for that to happen is there with all hammers designed to hit nails. The reason is that the core of the hammer is soft metal but the outside surface is hard and designed to hit relatively soft (maybe hard masonary but the head is still small)...

LN said I have the exact same one but I paid £190 at the place in Essex but still consider it a bargain for what it is, also planning to make a cabinet along with a long list of other things :) . The only complaint is loosening the nuts to allow the belt to be rotated flat. Cheers Alan

I don't know how much you're looking for but if you do a full check of this site...my link is just a quick search. http://www.woodcraft.com/search/search.aspx?query=track You may find they still have some incra track on sale. I have bought from this company several times, they have always been...

Obviously you have been stung :( I'm guessing but you did supply your postcode by e-mail ? or on the order and got a conformation mail. Don't either of those support your accurate provision of postcode? If you ordered by phone verbally I don't know how you prove it. Does their version of what...

Also Edited

David :) I like the run of dots indicating you expect a response. Interesting that Veritas makes the contrary point that there will be some deflection of the sole behind the cutting edge on their planes and this can be disregarded as the blade protrudes further from the general sole "datum?"...

Hi It's not as cheap as it appears, the price is not including VAT. As others have said might as well order locally or from Axminster Alan

Verbatim dvd+-r's can often be found for £20 /100 and they're what I use they are at the top end for quality and reliability. I don't really see a need to use rewritables for the cost. As far as I can see lee is doing his best to help with quite a difficult subject in that there are a number of...
