Thanks Chris, Alf. & Philly. I'll try to get Tage then. Alf, you are such a troublemaker. I had a quick 'look inside the book' at Complete Guide to Sharpening and The Handplane Book - very tempted by the former in particular, especially as it would probably save the forum members from the...

Innocently went off to have a look at your box, Philly, and got the full force of your LN gloat in my face :roll: :lol: NeilCFD

Its this one, Philly. A worthwhile buy for £10, do you think? NeilCFD

Thanks for that, Alf - I'm lathe-less for the foreseeable future (way down my wishlist) so I think I'll scrub that one from the list. How about "Encyclopedia of Wood Joints" @ £5 - I have read that it is a bit of a coffee table book and is short on advice about actually making the joints, but...

Me neither, of course :wink: Thanks Neil - my curiosity is satisfied now :) NeilCFD

Hi CYC, I'll bring the Ferm on Saturday so we can do a side-by-side comparison. This post seems to have woken up, Tony! :wink: NeilCFD

Hi Square, I got mine from Axminster and like SDA's, it came with a 1/2" collet and adaptors for the two smaller sizes. The replacement fence I was talking about was for the small 1/4" Makita - for the 3612C I guess you could get a Trend T9 fence if it uses the same rod spacings, but to be...

Hi Neil, You can't leave us in suspense like that - what was it?? :wink: NeilCFD

Hi Alf, I got mine a couple of weeks ago too, and that was all the way to the postal black hole of the West of Ireland so I think its time to get the prod out. The book is good for the price :wink: - seriously though, even though I doubt I'll be making any of the projects in it, there is some...

Nice one Alf, I particularly like the Google translation for the off-topic board: Off Topic - Arguments of varied nature Would be appropriate for this forum sometimes I think :wink: And another appropriate quote (referring to Holteys): NeilCFD

Hi Alberto, Your work is very nice indeed - the ladder/chair is ingenious. I like how you have shown the drawings in the gallery too :) - you have excellent draftsman's skills as well as your obvious talent for woodworking. NeilCFD

Hi Neil, I know - it is bizarre isn't it? I knew about the fence when I bought the 3612C - decided to go ahead anyway as the router itself was so good and was bought mostly for table use anyway. I'm now thinking about getting a good 1/4" model for hand held use, and the RP1110C is top of the...

Hi Tony, Thanks for that bit of info re: the metric adjustments. In terms of the spares, Rutlands really hammer us Ireland-based woodworkers for postage charges which put me off that route. One thing I will say about the PC though is that the fence looks fantastic, particularly if it is in...

If you decide on the Makita (which is superb BTW), check out this deal on dm-tools - you are basically betting a Makita laminate trimmer for £20. I wish it had been around when I bought mine... click on image to go to the site I considered getting the PC, but decided against it because a)...

I blame you entirely, Alf. No, come to think of it Chris, Adam, Tony and quite a few other forum members must take some responsibility too :lol: Already I have a L-N low-angle block plane high up on my wish list...no doubt a 4 1/2 will soon follow :roll: Thanks for yet more excellent advice...

I was about to suggest trying the plumber's forum on Screwfix, but then I found you already have! I'm sure you'll get some responses there :) NeilCFD

Thanks Chris - I gave it a quick test run once it was finished and I must say it is very nice to use! I'm looking forward to using it in anger :) NeilCFD

You know, Alf, I think you might be right. It is strangely addictive though, but does eat into the woodworking time a bit... Well, even though I think I should be focussing on rust removal, I don't think anything is getting any worse so I would like to do something wooden next to mix it up a...

Hi everyone, I've had a go at cleaning up the Record #77A, following Alf's advice using webrax, white spirit, elbow grease, router collet brushes, waterstone etc. etc. I'm quite pleased with the result :D so I thought I would show it off a bit: Alf - when I removed the nose I found the shims...

If anyone doesn't have the new DM-tools catalogue and would like to see the picture of the new saw (basic saw only, I'm afraid) then send me a pm. NeilCFD
