    Recorded 2506 side rebate plane fence

    Gents, I have an old Record 2506 side rebate plane. I have never had cause to use it but noticed on eBay when trawling that some of the 2506's listed have a fence. Mine does not have a fence, I assume they were all sold with a fence? Again, I assume as mine (and others on eBay) do not have a...

    There are several manufacturers of pocket hole jigs. Kreg are a big player with several models available. Trend also make a version and there is one available from Rutlands and Axminster for about £40 I believe. I have owned the Rutlands version and found it very good value for the money. Well...

    What wood could this be?

    I removed a Teak rain/weather drip guard for the bottom of an exterior door sometime ago. From your photo it certainly looks to be identical. Good luck David

    Taking Advantage of the Current Euro Weakness

    Jeez Oh, with all the purchasing from forum members over the past couple of days DS will be wringing his hands with glee. Just goes to show how we are still being overcharged in the UK. I bought a LV standard block plane, listed on the DS site at 147 Euro (£108). Best I could find in the UK...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    Sad reading indeed, a young man such as Danny has of the UK, although I do understand why he and his generation has such a dim view of the country we live in. Other than a brief period in our history (between the wars) we have never had a period where crime has been so low, including offences...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    Your presumption on my job role was correct at the third attempt, have been so for 30 years, I believe I made mention of the fact in an earlier post? So you have some understanding of my reasons for posting comment on this thread, my specialism is "designing out crime" which has kept me...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    It would appear this whole thread has got you very hot under the collar, it would seem your own past personal experiences have been contributory to your last post. I hope you can take the time to reflect on some of what has been said. At the end of the day, I was only trying to highlight the...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    You threw me I have to admit, although the context of the discussion was on the legalities of guard dogs and confined spaces, not of pets in back gardens. Two entirely different situations. There is no legal requirement to identify a dog as being free in a back garden. Unless of course the dog...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    Further to my last - Control of guard dogs. (1)A person shall not use or permit the use of a guard dog at any premises unless a person (“the handler”) who is capable of controlling the dog is present on the premises and the dog is under the control of the handler at all times while it is being...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    You would have a job convincing a court of law that a dog left half starved and abandoned over night in a contained space several miles from the owners home address could be considered a pet. Hence the reason for the lgislation (hammer) You will find many case laws examples of prosecutions of...

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    Look at the legislation on the use and control of "guard dogs" They have to be trained, controlled and regulated. That is the reason. Ignorance is no excuse. Good luck David

    Shutting the door once the horse has bolted... security tips

    Would totally agree on your view regards the no show on the police - Lobby your MP, outlining the unacceptable response (there are no cops to respond unless actually in progress offences are being committed) put pressure on the government to invest in policing and security. As it is, the police...

    Doug fir bench top checking while drying

    That may have helped a little, however, as the timber is notconsidered a premium wood it would have most probably seen a quick inside of the kiln to prevent major distortion prior to being delivered to the timber supplier. After all it is mainly a construction grade material so why bother...

    Doug fir bench top checking while drying

    If the timber has been kiln dried it it may be suffering from case hardening caused by too brief a stay in the kiln (dry exterior, wet interior). When you cut it in half the exposed and probably still wet interior of the board is exposed. As custard mentioned, keeping it in a warm centrally...

    Now I have really done it

    I read a US medical article some years ago, an American surgeon was being interviewed regarding the injuries he had to operate on most often. His response was that of amputation from woodworking incidents on the table saw. He stated he had never operated on anyone operating a wood working...
