Wow. Just wow. At least no one mentioned sharpening!!! 🤣

Ps - The ones I have are these… Grace USA Original Gun Care Screwdriver Set

Have you tried gunsmith screwdrivers? I have a set for brass screws, they are not tapered like normal Sparky drivers they have truly square heads on them. All so you don’t mangle your brass screws and no slippage occurs for nice cabinetry etc I think I got them from Classic Hand Tools but could...

I have a beech top on mine. If it gets dented/marked badly or even becomes uneven I put my no 7 to work all over it and flatten by hand. 👍🏻

Bloody Amazing work there Adam! I would love to learn carving. Do you teach?

How refreshing! A subject we have never covered before! Wow 😮 Merry Christmas all, or whatever religious ritual you follow. Religion...now there's a good subject to move onto..... 😇🤣

Welcome Ian! Great to have you on board. I am sure we could all learn a thing or two from you mate. You will now get bombarded with messages from people with broken pillar drills... 😂 Cheers, Matthew

Welcome Charlie! Enjoy! This is a wonderful forum, there are loads of clever people on here, many with varied backgrounds and interests. I'm sure you will have lots to learn and loads to offer. My only advice is steer clear of the political bullish*t in my opinion...it only ends in tears! 🙏👍

The Forest of Bowland (Not far from the Yorkshire Dales, "next door" in fact) which was the landscape where Tolkien was inspired to write Lord of The Rings & The Hobbit etc. Its beautiful. Lake District of course as others have said. I would 2nd Manchester as well, wouldn't bother with watching...

Amazing! Bloody Brexit (don't anyone start!) hey grrrrrrr! Wow, sounds an amazing place in France but you seem to have a decent alternative in Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Ps - You'll like Bob and Paul go fishing then? ;)

Brilliant, love it :) What a shame you don't have the French place any more. What a beautiful country. My mate lives between the Alps in the winter and the Basque / Atlantic coast of France in the summer, lives the life of riley he does.

@Pecheur Anglais totally off subject...are you a fisherman? What a great name! Haha

Beautiful! Nice photos :)

A bloke I work with, lovely man, very clever and highly skilled maker of 40 plus years experience in joinery and cabinet making.... He was wearing gloves on the surfacer (normal thing to do in the workshop at the time... They are now banned) did something stupid (a moment of madness... his...

I have seen them on fine tools.com aka Dieter Schmid, they have a hornbeam sole, I think I might invest in one....Hand tool work is underrated even in a commercial setting.

Beautiful! Love the finish. Brings out the grain beautifully, Danish?

I was taught to dish slightly each edge when jointing (workbench tops and table tops) with a hand plane after machining (using a no 7 no make it easier) with the ends touching 50-100 mm (on both at ends) on each component you are jointing, leaving a slight 1-1.5mm between each board and then...

I bought one of them from Wealdon, it gives a clean finish without any tear out or chips etc. Great project, @Jitter you will have to post some photos when you have completed it :)

I can see why you produce excellent woodwork and carvings Adam living in a period property, loads of inspiration! You must be living the dream! :)

Ps - I was referring to the gap between the concrete floor and walls... You obviously won't do that if you create a floating floor. Anyway... Ageing, good luck and sounds like you will have a great space to make pretty things out of wood and lots of sawdust... ;)
