Many thanks Derek and Custard for your answers. Much appreciated. The Veritas one seems to be the easiest to use, but as you both noted, the wooden ones, despite being a bit more finicky, have a little something extra. I will probably spend the next 6 months overthinking it ! :roll: I was...

To be honest, I've never considered the Stanley. Every time I heard of it, i heard negative things. Apparently many had fence and depth stop issues. I've been using the Veritas skew block plane for the past 2 years, avoiding doing rabbets as much as possible ! :roll: Time to upgrade !

Thanks Derek. How do you find adjusting the fence of the wooden fillister ? Is it straightforward ? I agree with you, a wooden plane has some kind of "soul" compared to a metal plane. (Ps : I really like your tools reviews!) Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Hello, i'm in the market for a rebate plane (since quite some time now...) and was thinking to get the Veritas skew rebate plane. However, I came across the moving fillister from Phillyplanes and i quite like the idea of a wooden plane (already have a marking gauge from him that I really like)...

I have a tormek T4 and really don't like it (sits in a box since 6 months in the garage) . It is crazy slow to set the primary bevel. For turning tools though, it can be useful as those seem complicated to sharpen. So for my plane blades and chisel, I'm using a jig (Veritas) and diamond + water...

I ordered in the past from good timber. They are quite good but very expensive. I plan to do in the coming months a shaker style chest of drawers, and that requires a fair bit of timber (I am thinking about using cherry). And goodtimber or timbersource or other online dealers (while...

Thanks James, I think I'll pay them a visit tomorrow on my way back home. I think I've already been there once, to get some soft wood. I want to do a small shaker style shelf, so I might find some stuff there (I dont need much material for that). I got a feedback from Scawton sawmill : planed...

Thanks for that ! Bookmarked now ! Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Ok, so I got a quote from Sykes timber for different stuff (cherry, poplar, etc), and damn they are expensive Waiting for whitmore to get their quote now. Hope it will be a bit cheaper.. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Hmmm, I saw an offer for titebond glues, but nothing else.. quite interested by their P/T.. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Also, I discovered this week Surrey timber (http://www.surreytimbers.co.uk/). If you're looking for sone (very) special stuff, seems to be a good place. https://shop.surreytimbers.co.uk/epages ... CO%2014%22 Did someone ever tried that ? :shock:

Thanks guys for your inputs and comments. Much appreciated ! Sykes thinks to offer machining possibilities, i think i will contact them during the week.

Thanks ! spent some time this week on google to find suppliers but didnt see this one. Let's hope they sell to non-retail..

Hello, just moved to Wolverhampton, and was wondering if anyone here had a good source where to get timber nearby. I'm mostly looking for poplar and cherry (several suppliers of oak in the area, but not a big fan of it). Thanks ! Chris.

Indeed, it is since yesterday. It has a variable speed (which i guess can be useful if you you want to make your final edge on it) and a bit more power (575 Vs 370ish for the PE) Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Do any of you have also difficulties to have a square edge with the ProEdge ? (As stated by woodbloke66) Was waiting for the Axminster one before pulling the trigger, but not sure it will bring much more than the PE. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Thanks, let's hope it comes out in the new catalog. The sorby seems nice but quite pricey to be fair. And grinding by hand is a pain, I need to find something else !! Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Did any of you who went saw their new range of band saws (craft I believe). Any thoughts ? And what about their new sharpening system ? (A linisher) Really looking forward their catalog ! Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk

Yes, I was thinking of a similar model from Axminster. It was fairly good reviews, and is quite small. I need to see it in a store..

Yes, read it already. Plenty of useful information. But it's always good to read about others experience and get their feedback. Sent from my VKY-L09 using Tapatalk
