Are you still using it or has it become a fancy/expensive ornament? Did you get clobbered with import tax and handling fees?

I freely admit to being crap at sharpening and can at least get something usable off a ProEdge but yes, I was concerned about the belt being narrower than the blade. I know Tormek and their imitators offer jigs designed for the purpose but cannot see one for a ProEdge - maybe hidden along with...

Link? As noted above, a search on their site as well as youtube and google produced loads on turning tools, chisels and even an axe but none for a plane iron so if you have spotted one that neither I nor the search engines could see then I'd be grateful if you could share it with me.

Not remotely interested in sparking a debate on which method is best, I just want to know if anyone uses a Sorby ProEdge to sharpen plane irons? I can find videos galore for sharpening turning tools, not so many for regular chisels and no mention at all of plane irons which, I feel, could be...

Like this? Or this?

In very good condition being less than a year old and having never seen a work site although workshop does frequently resemble a bomb site. Not shown as they're still attached to the saw but it does come complete with the genuine Dewalt brackets. Collection from TS28, looking for £90.

Ah, ubiquitous linseed, should have thought about that. I too thought the Web would have the answer but nothing sounded quite right.

Talking about two different things. Linoleum, as per link, was a form of vinyl flooring, supplied by the roll rather than in tile form. It was a brand name, like Hoover, often used to include similar products and no, it wasn't meant to be wet unless something was spilled on it. And NOT what I...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linoleum Billy Connolly spoke of how the Scottish town of Kirkcaldy came to be known as "WTF is that smell?" as the pungent aroma from production of 'lino' was the first thing to hit visitors arriving off the train. Kirkcaldy was the world's largest producer of the...

Isn't linoleum vinyl flooring?

I had a Katsu for AGES afore actually trying it out; it was brilliant, especially for its size. I used it with an improvised radius jig to cut perfect circles and it worked a treat. Only 'issue' was having to keep moving the mains cable out of the way and I suppose I could have addressed that...

Might be an idea to amend the green tab top left accordingly.

This is still available and although already at a bargain price I am open to sensible offers as I need the space it is currently occupying

Yes, I have a humidity issue in my workshop too and I've been doing the same with machinery but it was the recent purchase of some planes that made me think of oil cloths. One plane came in a polythene bag which appeared to have had oil squirted inside, which seems a common practice. The other...

I know in bygone days, any thing from agricultural tools to arms and weapons would be stored wrapped in oil cloth to keep the items in good, presumably rust-free condition. Anyone still using oil cloth to protect their hand tools, e,g planes, chisels, gouges etc? Better still, anyone making...

Pleasure. I had a cyclone unit fitted to a feed barrel between hub and vac, one blast gat hooked up to a 38mm hose to connect to powertools, e.g. sander, router. etc, another to a 63mm hose then the through one connected to pipes with blast gates controlling extraction from table saw, mitre saw...

No problem, which is also what I hope you have with your Charnwood.
