I did the search on the Cornish and Central site. It appears that only 50 of Model A were ever made and by holding it in my hand yes it is definitely gunmetal. I am trying to find out a bit more about it and how to use it as this one supposed to be different from its successors.

There is a bit of information about The Howkins plane online however this is usually about model B or C. I am after information about Model A. Anybody can chip in?

I will try Cromwell as they are my local shop. I believe there used to be a supplier somewhere Birmingham way which used to supply schools with specialist steel individually packed. If that fails I will have to try abroad.

Trying to make some welded steel with friends and looking for UK supplier of L6 steel in plat bar who sells small amounts of it not tons. Thank you.

Can you show pictures from side as well as pictures of any damage. So far my bet is Dalmore Blue on the left and possibly Hindostan right.

Does the air gap have to be there on the floor too? Can the vapour barrier membrane touch the Cellotex or not?

After 3 days of grafting I am a bit wasted. The plan is the there will be the gap. Unfortunately after today's digging out of the platform next to a neighbours wall I have realised that the floor will be another foot higher that originally planed as the wall had steps in foundation built in...

Hi all. Before I get shot I did search for this type of advice but could not find anything specific to this style building. What I mean is T&G all around. It is like this one. https://www.waltons.co.uk/4m-x-3m-walto ... -log-cabin The walls are 28mm T&G and floorboards are 12mm T&G. The whole...

Perhaps I will chip in a bit. You can not compare LI and YL due to: LI is Novaculite, YL is slate. LI gives broader range of finish comparing with YL depending on quality of the hone you use. Hardness of LI can vary considerably. YL is generally softer and will make slurry more readily. Due to...

Strangely a lot of realy vintage European stones were not rectangular and I am not talking about bouts. I guess this could be mainly because they were made a piece by piece by hand therefore it was easier to hold shorter length of straight edge rather than long one. Those whi try to make their...

They were described as axes and you have to add a code from their own list where they are in woodworking tools.

Just to clarify i have approached Royal Mail first but the cost of £90 was rather prohibitive as well as once they hand it over to their other contracted couriers their parcels tend to dissapear. That is a reason why friends of mine when they buy something use me as delivery address and I bring...

Yes I have flown few times now with different tools including axe. Of course it was not in my hand luggage but in holdal. The other method suggested by this company is to use company licensed to transport wheapons. Could be interesting how many people were killed or injured in violent incident...

Was thinking long time where to put this and if admins feel that it is wrong place I appologise and please deal with it as you like. Thinking behind it was: This is the forum of woodworking hand tools, a lot of members sent their woodworking tools to each other and therefore it could be a good...

Thank you gents for very informative evening.

Some people use for this slow cooker. However beware to cook it in well ventilated place or outside as the fumes in higher temperatures are not that healthy. As with the slurry there is something what we did not agree on with Henk. In my opinion there are 2 ways of abrasion one is with slurry...

To Swagman- can you have a look on the paper box there should be stated if they had it as Fine/Medium/ Coarse or mixed. To Allan bring it and we can have a chat but so fat have not seen WOA used. It is more likely to be Slate the same type as YL.

Your conclusion is right it is Dalmore Blue. The issue with Master Stones is that it is a brand and they were using any natural and manmade hones for it therefore unless you have it in your hand and can recognise it it is a lotery what you get.

Interesting thing these two latches and it makes sense for using as hinged lid is clunky and one held on by tighter fit can be tricky when the wood shrinks/swells which is not unusual.
