Thanks all, much appreciated. David

Much appreciated chaps. Ta.

Has anyone seen what I believe to be Paul Sellers latest vid? regarding the planning and building of a tool cab? Unusually, it was a quick 5 minutes or so with no commentary, just Paul drawing a plan and clamping up a couple of boards. Have I missed something or are there accompanying vids...

The least expensive, simplest & effective way of making your own pelmets/mouldings etc is to build up the desired shape from several mouldings, either purchased or made yourself on the router table. The sky is literally the limit when decided on what size and dimensions you want or need. A basic...

Morning Derek, It seem inevitable building two sets of drawers for each drawer opening is essential. A lot of work for sure, however building the the prototype pine drawer is the only way to fine tune and ensure the final and finished drawer build goes smoothly. I assume in times prior to...

Thats a bit of a begger as I have an eye out for one. :cry: David

I would have thought though Andy, should someone be willing to pay the best part of 300 quid for a plane then they would have some realisation of what they were buying and thus taken the time to establish the new price of a 'premium plane'. I agree with you, the bidder may not be aware of the...

Another example of "you won't outbid me" madness on my favourite entertainment channel £271.00 + £6 shipping http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191738289304? ... EBIDX%3AIT They can be bought brand new, including shipping for £289.09 at Classic Handtools https://www.classichandtools.com/acatal ...

We get over such very quickly, we have invented the fine art of partying when failing at the last hurdle on any given sporting event, God forbid we actually ever win something of significance. We would only be stunned into a shocked silence and spend eternity believing we could win it again...

Thanks mate, I came across DWs site on YouTube. David

I even watched your video about the capiron and as far as I could gather you said the same as I was taught at school in the early 80s, set it close but not too close. I need to watch this, see what the fuss is about. Where do I find it? Youtube? under what title? David

With the greatest of respect, Americans are not known for their accent identification skill. During a trip to the US my broad SW Scotland accent was confued as that of an Austrailan. Without a hint of sarcasm I informed the chap I was from Scotland - Gee!, what state is that in? He wasn't being...

I have both the Veritas large and small scraper planes, I find them useful in certain circumstances. I am currently working on a small project at the minutes with acacia with particularly nasty gnarly grain, which I managed to tear chunks out of in a couple of spots (even with a high angle...

Jona - Welcome aboard, If you intend purchasing a planer machine and providing you can set it up to make sqaure cuts then the addition of jointer plane is not essential. Perhaps more so if you wish to pursue woodworking with hand tools only and again, only if you are working regularly with...

While I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from the Paul Sellers series of vidoes on YouTube I cannot help but wonder about some of his claims. I do not in anyway doubt Pauls ability, skill or experience in the craft of woodworking, although, as with most "celebrity" hosts (whatever the...

The above is my recollection of instruction given by my old school woodwork teacher. The face side would have been the eventual show side. In the example given, the table apron face side would have faced out with the face edge directed towards the floor rather than up toward the table top. Of...

You can buy your files from Classic Hand Tools, about the best quality for the money I have found David

I was looking at those too, I hope you get a good result with them. I have bought a couple of vintage hand saws over the past few weeks, panel and back. All of them in good nick, just needing a slight wipe over and a tickle of the teeth. I don't think I have paid more than £20 or so I am...

Interesting responses for what I would have thought would have been a fundemental ? Anyway, thanks to all, much appreciated. David

- As in Dads Army, c'mon, wakey wakey! :wink:
