Torn between wood version, as used in chairmaking, or metal like a Veritas. What width blade minimum useful if you only want to buy one?

Should have been obvious. I’m getting old. Now to find one. But thanks for stopping me buying both.

35 in Venice with high humidity.

My Marples splitproof go back to the 80's but I must confess I have never chopped a mortice with them.

I have never used a spokeshave but I want to make myself a hammer handle. What is the difference between a flat bottom and curved bottom spokeshave?

I have kept west epoxy for years, it has always set up. If it goes a bit rhick or crystalline just warm it up.

And thanks to the OP, I too bought the impact drill with batteries and charger . Over here the equivalent would have cost me up to €645 or £540. £229 at FFX is a massive saving.

I bought a small Makita router to replace my mof96. The makita was tacky and imprecise, I replaced it a festool which is far better build and the dust extraction is far superior. I think it a bit simplistic to just look at way festool is marketed and say it is just a fan club. I'm also an iphone...

The brand I use. reine Leinölfarben, is available with or without driers. I always buy without and in our climate it still dries within hours.

The pure linseed paint I use has no thinner as far as I know and I also choose the version without driers. If it wrinkles it is being applied incorrectly. I have only used it over sweet chestnut, inside and out, but it is very thoroughly brushed out. I only apply one coat.

There are projects that use both wood and metal that might be primarily metal.

I have used 21 against the side of the door and also as a type of compression seal against the closing face of the door. The doors here are completely different in design so it's a case of doing what's best given the design parameters. Both set into the frame. I also use it on windows as they...

Depends on wood or metal bit? I used to get lip and spur from Axminster

Ikea have different levels of firmness even for the same mattress so don't discount Ikea.

I probably have one you can have but I'm in Italy. You can have it for free but postage is expensive. Let me know if you don't find one.

price for plano?

If you are sure you can pack it safely, it will not be treated very well on its travels to Italy, the shipping is not too bad. Where it may go wrong is the VAT and courier charges so I need to do a bit more checking. I'm in absolutely no hurry so you would have plenty of time to pack, but it...

I have similar adapters in an inexspensive diamond core set.

Thanks. I must confess I wasn't expecting quite so heavy. The size of the box, even if approximate will be important too.

I might be interested, but I'd have to have it collected as I live in Italy. I'd like to check first how much it would cost to collect and bring it to Italy. Can you give me an estimate of how much it would weigh and how big the box would be.
