Marcus heres a clue. These saws are often called a "Sawzall" it imitates a hand saw with a back and forth action. You get a wide range of blades and can even run it along a straight edge. It is multi purpose but not a Disston :lol: The limiting factor is the blade length. If you want a chainsaw...

Chainsaw are not the most subtle tools for workshop use (although great fun). I love my Makita recipro with the wide variety of blades available it pretty much "Sawzall" every thing from minor tree surgery to car exhaust pipes :lol:

Argos always refund on defective or slightly broken items in my experience. As in "What's the problem with it Sir?" to which you reply "I thought I could smell burning I'll have a refund thanks" you certainly won't have a problem especially if you take your chainsaw :lol:

So Dumbarhamblins link was of no interest?

Oh no not a Derby bevel discussion :lol: (or bezel for Dumbarhamblin)

Pikey Camp? :shock: :lol:

O.K your crazy he will never hoist it onto the studding... not with his back :lol:

Golly it hasn't been five minutes since you got the thing :shock: Is it a Blister upgrade or something? I don't know about lathes but with large compressors they used to suggest standing them on wood to dampen vibrations

Ah so you want somewhere betwixt £100 and £927 then :lol:

Hi Immediate, its worth whatever you are willing to let it go for. Probably knowhere near the purchase price. Hell why not eh! I'll start the bidding at £100

Aw..don't do that. Its just that your Obsidian idea sounds a bit like Ian Flemings childhood discovery of a large piece of Ambergris.

Gosh it would certainly have been something wouldn't it :shock: To have been spewn from a volcano in either Scotland or Iceland and transported in its just cooled state to the very edge of the glacier unaltered through thousands of years. Just a thought but given the high incidence of flint in...

Hi Dave, considering the location if transported by glacier would you expect that sort of bubbly lumpen look (or is that just mud clinging to it)

:lol: While discussing with my 7 year old Grand Daughter what we will grow on our proposed veg patch she said " Oh yes and we must grow Pop Up Peas" and then added "Nanny Sheila always complains we don't leave any to cook" I think the description was because with her little sis she pops the pod...

Many reading this wouldn't know how backwards some parts of London remained. Although an oddity now there were still many propertys without bathrooms and still retaining the old gas lamp fittings etc up until the 80's Don't remember ever collecting milk in a jug but I remember some of the old...

Yes part of a lava flow from Mount Halstead no doubt :lol:

Could it be the result of a lightning strike? Or even the aftermath of one of the many plane crashes (WW2) in that area. I would think a combination of glass, iron,ammunition and aviation fuel could produce some unusual lumps in the ground.

In the U.K Thrashing around on the cold cotton sheets so the friction warmed them up. School caps and satchels. Grandads enormous jar of rank brilliantine. Manual workers who wore suits and ties. The Working Mans Club Beano. In W.A Hosing the house down to cool it. Not putting your hand in the...

so one last stupid question for the time being , from that list where does the jack plane come in ? Fairly interchangeable description with foreplane

So your block plane appears to be a #28 Transitional Foreplane almost a complete separate slope 8)
