Thanks Chappie, i guess my question was "what is the 'proper' storage method you refer to..." however i would guess there's no magic answer... As for the plane, sounds like you are suggesting that i can adjust the depth with the cap set tight enough to prevent movement, yet the depth adjustment...

I have lots of storage space, really the problem is protecting from the elements, in an environment that has a very large range of conditions, tools that I will use every week. The oil sounds good, I assume one just rubs on enough to make the surface slick, rather than gloopy and dripping like...

Well, given my location, maybe 2 weeks ;-) I have just today received a blockplane from Workshop Heaven, low angly QS with 3 blades... I know every workshop should have one, even if power tool focused, however i just never got round to it. Already I can feel the quality just from looking and...

My first drill press was a machine mart clarke, not the cheapest one they had by far, and i thought it was the mutts proverbials. However then i got way more into woodworking and realised it was pretty much cheap rubbish, if you dom this as a hobby and not just once a year. It started having...

Thanks guys. I am holding it on bench with dogs, and have the grain running up as i cut to prevent tearout. Wasn't really tear out as gouge out, and the blade "seemed" to change depth all the time. Hey ho, first time, so wasn't expecting much, of course i need los of practise. Just a bit...

No, it's all useful, i am new to hand planing!

I am sure that they could be fine, just wanted to make a well informed choice, was not assuming I would have to flatten ;-) I fell now i can indeed make a very informed choice. FWIW i took my £10 B&Q stanley SB3, and now that i put the iron in bevel down, (i swear i bought it with the bevel...

Helps very much. Was thinking i needed one of those veritas lapping planes, silicon carbide grits, etc... Emery cloth i can do ;-)

Does anyone have pictures of what you use to flatten a plane (regardless of what extent you take it to). In my mind i am picturing lots of very fine grit paper or a HUGE stone of some form. I am looking into getting some old planes off the bay and sorting them uot a little however want to know...

There are about five ads above ;-)

Thanks so much

That link doesnt work

Problem with US ones is they will work off 110v... I have sent an enquiry to the UK one so will get a quote from them. Cheers!

look what i gone and did....seems a lot of people building sites as much as furniture... There are loads of good sites / info out there about building websites for business and pleasure There is lots of information on how to do search engine optimisation (SEO) I myself have 17 years building...

Rog, Perhaps one reason is that it was 5 years ago. The WWW has moved on a lot in the last 5 years, so that now it is a key and constant part of any hobby, anytime you want to get some work done etc... as it becomes more ubiquitous in our lives, so has your site done better. On the other hand...

Do you recall where you got this from? I think it would make a really unique and special gift for that special woodworker in ones life (i.e. me!)

Resawing on a table saw has a number of problems, not least waste of material, safety, and depth of cut.... Personally I would say go for the biggest and most powerful you can fit in the space, and then if you have to go second hand to afford it, do it. I have wasted too much money saving...

I don't speak any Italian though, it's all German up in the north of Italy... I'll check out Chestnut though. EDIT: nice, that links me to a proper "shop" online where i can actually buy stuff i want! amazing... thanks Steve!

I use one of these, MaxiMasks with the combination filter (so not just dust filter). If I used that indoors, and then left the room, then that would not be enough? From what i can gather the spray booth is simply a way to keep all the vapour in one place so the extraction is more effective...

How about one of these, http://www.rutlands.co.uk/workshop-&-power-tool-accessories/mobile-bases,-wheels-&-rollerstands/mobile-bases/DK2040/mobile-base although i have bought them at £29 in the sale...
