Tom, I have turned a couple of bits of elm, one of my favourite woods, so far. Is that its true colour, the stuff I have is much browner? The shape is good and if I had spent that much on a hollowing tool I would be using it on everything I turned. :roll:

Mark, I like this one more than the one with the textured lid, not sure why but it just hits the spot for me. Thinking about the bead size, how about making them graduated, getting larger as the diameter increases? :-k

Tom, You could always cut it in to pen blanks, will that big red monster of yours turn things that small? :roll: :wink: I have me coat...........................

Hi Mark, Welcome to the forum. :D Well the Maxi is an odd beast I don't know how to adjust the tables, there have been tales of woe from some owners but others have found the machine a useful bit of kit. Hopefully someone will turn up who knows how to set the thing up. :-k

That looks like it should work, might be a bit louder than a bigger fan as it must rev faster to move the volume of air. You could extend the housing to act as a silencer if it is too loud.

I have oiled the handles on a couple of planes, I find it much nicer in use than the crusty varnish I scrapped off.

How about talking to Philly? He might be encouraged to make you one. :whistle:

There you go I sorted it out for you.

If you have not already found it, here is the thread were I made an air filter, not very pretty but very functional. 8) I have it connected via a remote control socket, so it can be turned on without having to cross the shop, same as my cyclone dust collector. :D

Hi Bren, Welcome to the forum. :D Your picture has been caught by our spam trap, this will stop when you have a few more posts to your name, here it is: Sorry but I cannot answer your question about the saw.

If you are shooting end grain then the low angle is probably what you need, I use my bevel up jack on the shooting board. :D

Well I took quite a lot of pictures, to see the better ones, go and look at this Flickr set. Here are the more interesting ones. Chris with a new toy, er no that should be tool. :roll: Black wood and stainless, only a 2 year wait. Nick Gibbs had brought along spoke shaves and pony's Which...

Hi Jon, Welcome to the forum. :D Just to make sure everyone knows who you are, here is a picture. :shock: I am sure you caught the flash and were looking round to see if you were the subject. :lol: Glad you signed up, you sell a very useful range of stuff, just need to turn some wood to fit...

I think the pictures speak for themselves. :twisted: Note that Tom of very little hair, still has shavings in it. :whistle:

No he is a great turner who also has a way of greasing The Slope TM and boy did you slip. :roll: Pictures will follow. 8)

Does the blower have a finger guard on the inlet? There was one on the chip collector I bought, it worked OK for dust and small shavings but when wide boards were planed, producing long shavings it clogged. Two minute job with the tin snips to remove it solved the problem.

I think this has underlined the comments that have been made about the difference between the run of the mill standard planes and the quality brands, Brad is not a man to buy things for their looks it is how the work that counts.

SWMBO had a nice job made of that Special for your birthday, hope you had a good time.

I only have an old Perform planner thicknesser, used in thicknessing mode only after buying a Multico planner, the dust hood did not fit well so I made one: As John-Henry says : simples
