...so if I'm reading this right, section 2 will be forming the drawer fronts? Edit: yep, sections 2 and 4 for the fronts - Rob

When you do, don't forget to call in...would be great to meet up again. PM me later on :wink: - Rob

Sam, I'd stay off the Guinness...or at least take some water with it :lol: :lol: - Rob

...and here :lol: - Rob

I have to agree with Rog and all the other comments...as others have said, UKW has it's 'keyboard warriors' but generally it's a great place to hang out. I have two regrets, the first being Roy's (Digit) input on the General Forum. It doesn't seem quite the same anymore as there was usually...

Good looking job, I particularly like the nappy dispenser...I wondered if you put the dirty ones down the 'ole? :lol: :lol: - Rob

Matt, excellent analysis, many thanks - Rob

Absolutely...the nature of a Japanese laminated blade (plane or chisel) means that it's impossible to make one without forging the thing and yes, they will (in my experience at least) take and hold a better edge than their Western counterparts. Whether or not the Japanese chisel suits the...

Agreed. If you're going to use one of these bits with a thread in a power tool, the best thing to do is to grind the thread away to leave a small point - Rob

I recollect that I used a standard M6 threaded bolt (or something similar) in wood a couple of years ago for a little project...it does help if the timber is very dense and heavy so a decent thread can be cut. I was using African Blackwood at the time with no problems...the stuff is so hard it...

Apologiies for that Steve, I thought the top t'were veneered. Just for future ref in case you do another one like it, a diagonal top is quite hard to get 'right' as you want to try to ensure (note the 'try'...and that's the difficult bit) to get all the grain patterns to line up and it's not...

Salisbury...is that the South West? Begining of perhaps - Rob

I totally agree with Paul, but....when you're a self-employed maker with professional commitments and a family, it's a very difficult balancing act to get right. None the less Rog, I think it's one you do need to get right - Rob

I suggest you seriously get a grip! The OP ASKED for comments and himself mentioned that he didn't like the lozenge. The comment about the top veneers is absolutely valid...they don't line up and it's something that the maker can take into consideration the next time something like this is...

Nice looking job, but I agree about the lozenge...doesn't work for me. if I could be a tad critical about the veneer on the top...it needs to be chosen and matched with greater care...look at the skewed pattern that's been created. Having said that, you've made a decent job of joining them...

My daughter hates Gollum with a passion, the stuff of nightmares! I remember at the time I got hold of a poster of the G-man (no...not Mr.Grimsdale...or maybe it was?) and blu-tacked it to the ceiling above her bed. The only problem was that she had a new bunk bed and she was on the top, so...

...and from me Jim - Rob

I appear to have missed something here, but I have thought her input to the forum(s) of late has bin a little 'lacking' (not quite the correct terminology, but you know what I mean...I hope) If this is the case, I agree with Rod...completely uncalled for. Would anyone care to explain (probably...

Nice one Adam...can't see the 'drive-by' in that pic though :lol: Just joshing...Congratulations! :occasion5: - Rob

Don't panic :mrgreen: - Rob (with appropriate avatar)
