Ever since finding that unidentified plane on the weekend i've been looking on the internet for infilled planes and stumbled on plans for one! I was looking for steel to build one but haven't been able to find any. i found some Norris style adjusters, not cheep but look very nice. Where did...

The plane is in an antique establishment. I haven't asked him if he can go lower in price but my instinct would tell me he would sell it cheaper if i waved a bit of cash at him. If i could afford it i'd get it myself because it would be useful and even then i wouldn't pay £110. If your...

Welcome to the Forum, It depends on what you are cutting. If you are cutting a piece of skirting, a small piece of trim or a roof beam. You first want to orientate the wood so that it is the safest. Then you have to see the geometry in your head and adjust to the blade to that. When cutting...

The whole thing was big and even though the mouth was big the blade when lowered almost closed it up at the front.

Thanks for your reply. I've decided not to buy the plane. Another member has offered to sell me a much better one for a better deal. A very generous offer. If someone is interested in the one posted though let me know as i can get it for you at cost plus postage. I'll even try offering him...

I don't subscribe to any magazine. But do from time to time buy what ever issue might have something interesting in it. Or i might be going on a trip and need something to read on the trip, what better then woodworking? I don't know what mistake transpired, nor do i care. I missed that...

I don't think its anal at all. When i first started looking into the scary sharp system it seemed difficult to tell what was what. I finally went with this guys papers...

Good thing you didn't fall down our stairs when you came Karl!!!

I think you are right Mike but the reality is it won't happen. When we bought this place it was found out that the previous owner built the shop and the conservatory without planning permission. What happened? nothing that's what. No fine no slap on the wrist no nothing. I know that he...

It is a steel plate but no dovetails. The leaver cap does pivot. The thing that struck me about it is the weight for the size. The thing that made me second guess it was no dovetails. If it was a bit longer i would of snapped it up as i've been trying to get my hands on a No. 7 Stanley type...

That is a great tip!!! thanks very much for sharing it. What type of drill press do you have? it looks very heavy duty.

He is asking £110 Just seems like a lot of money

Well the price isn't all that low, so i thought i'd ask people who are more knowledgeable on these things. It is about the size of a number 5 but a lot wider and a lot heavier. I'm thinking it would be great for joining guitar tops with a bit of clean up and set up. I was looking at the...

I happened upon this little guy and wondered if anyone collects these or knows anything about them. Just wondering if I should buy it. If so what are they worth

I think some people use the forums for their intended purpose and those who use them for their own ego. It is quite obvious which members are which. I also think some are very knowledgeable, but cross some lines in the delivery of their replies. Bottom line though is Forums need rules and...

i'd like the dressing tool. how much shipped with me Incra?

I don't think the Tormek is a good idea at all!!!! I've been trying to get on on ebay for some time but there are to many interested people and i don't want more people becoming interested to bid against.

Ahh you can tell spring is in the air when tools are being shifted around the country side. *sniff* who can resist the smell of fresh cut wood. Never mind the flowers.

*beams* oh i wish we had a running in glee smiley

Woodworking is for everyone, well not everyone, but we all start somewhere. It doesn't matter how good you are today, it is a good day to be creative as simple as that. Gaining skill takes practice and you should never be ashamed of anything you make because it all contributes to your skills...
