Is there something you are after to buy or do you just want to have a nose bob?

Ooh that’s a shame. I have one of those and it’s very handy for certain jobs - particularly angles other than 90*. If you’re in a pickle you can borrow mine until yours is sorted out. Just give me a PM and I’ll post it to you.

I see! As much as I love a vintage tool, as you well know Andy, I don’t feel compelled to spend £600 on one of those. Especially as my #71 does everything that I need of a router. Now if I saw one going for 50p at a car boot on the other hand....

I’m puzzled. Does this Tyzack/Preston pattern have any advantages over the cheaper and more common Stanley 71? I see it has a wider base but the 71 can have an auxiliary base screwed to it as big as you like. Is it just fashion and the Sellers effect?

Very nice bob as per your usual standard I must say. Quick question; how do you do the cut outs for the legs on Nellie? Her trunk would seem to get in the way of doing it on the bandsaw and I know you have an aversion to hand tools!

Squareness of squares = the new sharpening thread. In other news; Brexit. Or maybe not...

Doesn’t the threaded screw part block the bottom of the moving block, making it difficult to raise and lower the dog?

Sounds more likely to be Greek to me but I haven’t seen his videos so can’t be sure. In terms of plane makers I do like Bill Carter’s videos (he’s a really great chap as well to boot). For general woodworking I found Paul Sellers to be the most useful virtual tutor when I was first starting out...

Not helpful I know but as soon as I saw the title of this thread I couldn’t help but think of that Kardashian woman....

Any progress to share on this one Jacob? Would be good to see how it’s coming together.

Very snazzy! Did you make them all?

Right to left it’s 8, 7, 6, 5 1/2, 5, 4 1/2, 4 and 3. I could certainly get by with fewer planes but surprisingly enough they all get used and each has its niche. How about some photos of how planes are stored from you guys?

Not a collector of bench planes John, just a cack handed user of them! Although I must admit that the infills are an indulgence rather than a necessity, they are still great in use.

I have an insulated but un-heated shed which has a small dessicant dehumidifier running in it all the time. It isn’t always toasty warm in there but since I got the dehumidifier it’s never damp. I keep all my bench planes on the shelf under my bench so they are within easy reach. Rebate and...

Lol! I recognise them bob but I had no idea they were so practical - must get it from Pauline :)

Awesome stuff Chris that’s one great looking bench. You’ll find just about every subsequent woodworking project easier to do now that you have proper work holding in place. Congrats and well done!

Welcome to the gang stidy! Get a camera and post some photos up!!

Anyway..... My 2p worth, as someone with both bandsaw and table saw, is consider ditching the mitre saw and getting both. There are things you can do with a TS that you can’t do with a BS and visa versa. Once you have a TS there is nothing a mitre saw can do that you can’t do with the TS and a...

I’m in. Would be up for a sale day and chance to meet up with people but equally wouldn’t turn my nose up at online.

I made one a couple of years ago out of stainless. It’s definitely more resistant to warping and pressure than mild steel. A lot harder to work though!
