Thanks for the replies guys, I have taken it all on board and think I will go for the cross cut and get a rip at a later date. BugBear - That was puzzling me, I thinking it just needs the teeth re-cutting and setting by a pro and I will take it from there. After all it cost me £10 from eBay but...

Hi Guys n Gals, Just looking for a little advice. I'm looking at buying a Veritas carcass saw but I'm torn as to weather to buy the crosscut first or the rip. I do have an old Marples pistol grip tenon saw that I have filled to a rip cut but the blade seems to bind slightly when cutting...

Just to add to the pot, I use a 4, 4 1/2, 5 and a pre WW1 No7 all made by Stanley Bailey. The No7 makes jointing large boards a breeze, it's just the right size and weight to like AndyT said walk along side the work as you plane. All my planes were either eBay specials or handed down from my...

Nice one, that set of chisels on the top right look like the Axi ones.

When your sorting the next batch I will have a pair. matt

+1 for Titebond, I tend to use Titebond 3, but any "yellow" glue is a general all rounder.

not problems as such, I'm thinking its more down to my sack of poo workbench top I made when I was 17 for cutting up and welding steel (made from 75mm angel and some 6x2 softwood, I will post some pics so you get the idea). It doesnt seem to matter how flat i plane the top everything still leans...

Ah ha, I thought i'd seen one with magnets as opposed to screws :oops:, fancy me not checking the old faithful Axminster. You're right, not a cool looking as the Stanley but I imagine finding one could prove a problem, a very expensive problem!! Thanks

Hi, can anyone help? Does anyone know if the Veritas jointer fence(http://www.britishhardwoodsonline.com/product_info.php?cPath=57_59&products_id=226) will fit any No6/7 or just the veritas bevel up? Thanks in advance. :D Matt

I checked a plane timeline and its looking like its a type 10 http://www.hyperkitten.com/tools/stanley_bench_plane/tl_10.php so that dates it from 1907 to 1909 so its about right for my wife's great grandfather. Looks like I've got some work to do tomorrow!!!! I think a good old clean up and it...

WARNING Slight tool gloat here guys 'n' gals! My Father in-law just gave me this! It belonged to his grandfather so at a guess its got to be knocking on for 100 years old (anyone got any ideas how old it actually is)????? I just tried it out as it is and i can get some nice whispy shavings from...

Check the brushes on the motor havent jumped, had a similar problem with a grinder.

Thanks fuster, useful link is that and they have a branch in Leeds. Do they only sell to trade?

have a look at veritas, are you local to an axminster branch?

titebond III

there is a supplier not far from me who will probably have one in stock http://www.bapp.co.uk/

Just use an appropriate size bolt with the head cut off. Cheap and easy. :wink:

Some sort of crazy hold down??

I like it! I always found my compressor far too noisy, never even crossed my mind to box it in.... saying that it was a 100L one :D

I have a cheapo wicks plane i bought in an emergency and that is a pile of c**p the blade is razor sharp but it wont cut properly no matter what i do to it....... does make a good door stop though.
