HS As fortune has it, I'm about to make a set of chairs for the house - a copy of David Savages Love chairs - gee I'm trembling just thinking about it. Anyway for Xmas I got a Harris spoke shave and travisher for the project (From Dick) from Anke. You welcome to use the travisher (the only fee...

I am making some cupboard doors from ripple sycamore (well luckily I discovered the ripple when dimensioning the waney boards), and they will be place in a narrow hallway that is a little dark, so the whiter they are the brighter the place will look and the further back they will seem - that's...

I've got the same as this http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp? ... 17&recno=4 but mine is branded by a German Company and not Perform. I replaced the stick on disk with stick on Velcro which also adds a nice cushion and it works a treat for 120euro or 99 quid from Axminster. That and my...

I've done this before - ran out of cherry and has some tulip wood just the right size. I used garnet shellac (Jeff Jewitt does this in Fine Woodworking Mag to age Cherry). You can stop the blotches by wiping in some very thin clear shellac first then putting a coat or 2 of the garnet shellac...

I do the base, then assemble the drawer and then finish the drawer, I use shellac for the inside, and a wax for the outside, (the front has a matching finish to the rest of the piece) I find most finishes smell a little funny (eventually) when applied to inside drawers and cupboards, Shellac...

I just calmed my twitching credit card down and look what happens more temptations! Anyone out there got any of these beauties? p.s. no more mentions of the footy - but what a ref!

That's it exactly, albeit I don't believe the text when it says it has a 9 litre capacity for glue (2 gallons!) Here's hoping Wales can get 3 points tonight eh? Cheers

I've just re-read my message and when I say i keep getting close to odering one, I mean the LN not the Hotley, mind you come the lotto win and I'll order the full set of Hotleys! Dream dreams dreams

Mantra Can you try again with the link. Seems to give a not allowed problem - but hey thanks for the reply It really is wonderfully simple device, ah for the picture - 100 words n all that!

How anyone who has spent a few grand on a plane actually is brave enough to use it - is beyond me! What if you dropped it! It's bad enough when I drop any of my Bedrocks or my LNs, but hey that's on only a couple of hundred not a couple of grand (and al ong wait for a new one!) Point taken on...

I use here on my course a glue bottle that is rather useful, but I'll be blown if I can find one to buy for myself! I do not have a photo but will take one on Friday, but here goes for a description: One side is the glue well white plastic square in shape with a round lid to top up with new...

I'm under the tutelage of Han Koot http://www.houtwerkrenkum.nl watch out this is dutch. But all his pupils look for any excuse to use the 9, it's an absolute delight. One of our more wealthy patrons has actually ordered the Hotley version http://www.holteyplanes.com/no11imp.htm at some...

Thanks Andy for the link to Hotley Planes, now I can drool and play what if I won the lottery Andy

Thanks for the tips, I never knew the loss was so much, so I'll need to source some 110 mm pipe that will fit my blast gates and a larger section for the run in to the DX5000 - sorry I had not separated the Record Power from Record/Irwin. But I do remember when I bought the DX500o they were...
