I find EAR Soft plugs work great for me. However, when I'm using an angle grinder for example, I also wear my Optime III muffs. Having plugs and muffs on makes one hell of a difference.

What grade steel did you use? The only grade of tool steel that should be oil quenched is O1. W types should be water quenched and stainless types should all be air quenched (ie; left to cool naturally).

Can you PM me some pics?

I don't know, the mouth and blade look OK. I reckon it could clean up alright. Although I wouldn't have paid that sort of money for a doer-upper myself.

To get the best from those you want to fit them on the outer edge of the reveal (ie; as far inside the room as possible and creating a large "air gap") :)

I'm surprised no-one has suggested using a multi-tool :)

I can lend you an 18v Makita for the week if you need it, just give me a shout.

They're just politicians at the end of the day. They have the gift of the gab, the silver tongue, whatever you want to call it.

The reason for people not sitting the plane upright is so that the blade isn't sitting on the worksurface/shelf/whatever the plane is stored on, saves them winding the blade in each time. I store mine upright and I used some parting bead offcuts under the front of the sole to keep the mouth...

Hot melt sealant is not designed for continuous immersion and this does lead to failure of the seal. What's more important is to make sure that the unit sits completely on the packers. I've changed some failed units only last week in a conservatory where the packers had only covered the outer...

My #6 is about 2 1/2" longer than my #5 1/2 :)

Would a #6 Fore be any good to you? Not much smaller than the #7. I picked up a Silverline #6 from Amazon for under £20 and it's perfectly good enough for any job I throw at it, even with the OEM iron. I may upgrade to a Stanley iron in the future when this one is worn out. Having said that...

Personally I'd opt for the Makita RT0700CX2 kit with fixed and plunge bases. Don't buy from Axi though, they're about £60 more expensive than FFX or ITS.

I'm assuming he means one sole has longitudinal ribs? Like this

I think using a horizontal wet grinder with a jig would be much safer. I'm thinking about getting the Draper http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/230v-Wet-D ... wwodGFgA6Q

Don't forget clear silicone, deema :)

Distance is no object. Just make sure it's not flooded. I'll tie it in with a cider run :mrgreen: If you want to fire over a couple of pics I can work out approx sizes from brickwork.

I'm sure someone on here would buy it from you as well so that would save you the cost and hassle of eGay :)

If you're looking at an upgrade, how much would you want for your current bandsaw? I should be in the meerkat for one soon :)

Or Ironmongery Direct do a Macclex designed of O/I doors. Just drill a couple of 5mm drainage holes in the chamfered section at the lower front.
