It is known about natural stones that some of them are better for certain steel than others. The harness of the stone is relative as what realy makes difference on them is what is the grinding particle rather than what material is this suspended and how mechanicaly is the grinding done e.g...

if it is like last time perhaps we can persuade the story teller in the story tent to lure our better halves there and thell them few stories about how their partners are responsible and they realy need all those things they buying there. BTW just setting off.

Teading these reviews just add to my sadness for not being able to come.

I can now add myself to one of those admirers with dreams to be able to do something like that once in the future.

What about (if you have about a foot or more post left above the ground) to drill it through horizontally, put through thick steel rod and use two jacks or lever on oposit side to pull it out?

I am trying to make my mind up which one of the models such as Drilltru, Pacera, Popular ... to get. I know Tony's site even visited him in past for information about lathes.

Have only visited Iles brothers I have to say that those films cought it really well. A lot of skill is required to make those tools for us to enjoy.

I am looking to get a Meddings bench drill. What I am looking for is information about different types such as Pacera, Driltru, Popular ... and their comparison. I have tried to look online (there is a bit on lathes.co.uk) but is there somewhere specialist information? Thank you

My guess if ti was new at that time Brasil, Portugal or China were main imports here.

A lot of people use strops with pastes which then in effect levels all the differences between hones.

What you have there is so called Scotch hone. One side is Tam O shanter and the other is very highly likely Water of Ayr. Very nice combo hone which is invaluable on some steels more prone to tearout on the edge.

Can you show pictures of bot faces preferably wet? I have one favourite which is in fact two homegrown stones in one.

Just to give you an idea how much grinding it is. I have done it ot old blade for my 5 1/2 Stanley. The blade was old laminated non paralel one from. The surface grinder was non watercooled and 1" wide stone. It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes as there was no automatic movement al of it had to be...

There are many types of slates as already said. During my time which I spent in Inigo Jones I was shown how Dragons Tongue can be split with cleavage lines. The finishing quality of slates can vary. Some of them are not usefull for anything than builders infill as they have huge ammount of...

If you use usual slates with water they are faster but not as fine as they will be with oil. Big advantage of slate is cheap and you can get it in much bigger sizes and shape it as you need. The Honister slate would be interesting to try. I was there few times but so far had a no intention as it...

Not sure id this is right place but somebody already mentioned here about quality of Stanley/ bailey blades and cap irons. I just spent 2 hours lapping old pre 1900 Bailey blade and cap iron as they were not sitting properly together. Actually they did when just sitting on each other without...

Thank you , I will have a look

Ok got out a loupe 12 magnification and it revealed that teeth were not set at all. They looked like they were just stumped an not sharpened or set. One side was round and the other square. I have stoned the square side on y diamond plate and it improved straight cutting however mow it binds...

Good to hear that it will be used as originaly intended for making things rather than for gathering dust in a collection.
