Hi Frank, I'm not sure the article will be published now....there have been changes at GWW and i think this project is too metalworky for them....shame really as it would have made an interesting article. Pm me your details and i'll send what i have. I have returned to work and...

the biggest chest of drawers i've ever done 1800 wide x 1600 high x 550mm deep alas in pine faced mdf with pine facings as per spec...just got rid of them out the workshop. still customer was happy but what a weight.. treated myself to a new warco vmc milling machine which i've been gathering...

Philly......superb.. =D> I've been really busy lately and only just noticed this what a cracker..... I was just wondering though.... where the tool racks are :lol: excellant Ian

Nice one YDB, looking forward to seeing the projects produced on it very well done Ian

Superb Martin, You made a cracking job of the tailvise. dont worry about about using it now......because you know how you finished it..... a good flatten once a year will get rid of the user maks.....i was hesitent at first but now it gets full abuse and i've reflattened...

I thought that too...i have both LN and LV but my little infill thumb plane i made from the shepherd kit gets more play than either of the above.Cant explain why because it doesnt perform better than the others but it just feels better and more comfortable to use....downside is it has brass...

Anyone contemplating building their own infill plane i noticed Shepherd have a good deal running at present on their website...Why do i always miss the sales http://www.shepherdtool.com Looks like another few for me shortley Ian

Thanks for the vote of confidence Steve......I will still be doing the odd thing but not until my work realise that there are only 24 hrs in a day and not 48...I have just done 217hrs in 14 days and i'm knackered...and unfortunately the WTD doesnt cover me. cheers Ian

Excellant Shady.... very satisfying doing one of your own lovely job Ian

I’m with Steve on this one…..I’ve been missing for a few months as I’ve taken a promotion at work and it’s been a far bigger burden than I thought it ‘wood’ I found making the projects the easy part…step by step photos were no problem even finishing a project wasn’t too bad but getting them to...

Pete, I like your thinking...i have a mast r lift with a PC7518 body and the setup is great but pound for pound now i would buy a spindle moulder if i was doing it again. I have found my drawbacks on the table setup ie mainly the plate and motor arent 'installed' they are hung so to...

T11...First impressions....it would be perfectly suited to the router table i built a few months ago..the one with the flush sitting base.....heavy though for above bench use for long periods. how would i compare it to my festools....i'll give it a few months nice and smooth plunge and speed...

Whatever equipement you feel comfortable and confident in that will give you a perfect 90. if you cant get a good 90 shoot it on a board. there are many ways to cut wood but stick to what works best for you....if you want to experiment use scrap pieces until your confident it'll cut the angle...

Tony, it feels nicely balanced....i havent weighed it yet but i reckon it is around the 12lb mark...i have only taken a few shavings with it so far as my arms still havent recovered from flattening it Ian

Bugbear, I bought the vallorbe set of 12 needle files from rs components for use when i did the infill kits. they are by far the best needle files i've used (expensive though) but havent tried them on saw steel as yet but from using them on other steels they are very good. they are...

not quite but it was hard to stop once i was in full swing.... :occasion5: glad its done though Ian

Neil....the blade comes with the kit which is almost square and just out the furnace, a bit of shaping and flattening to my own design.... as you do with a kit ..similar with the chip breaker ..the front bun etc... just a bit of fun...i saw wayne andersons half back saw from a recent link and...

Shady, I have got files..rasps....hacksaws ands blades...belt disc sander...emery cloth..bench pillar drill and one pair of very sore arms. Ian ---------------------------------- i'll be up for an arm wrestle in about a week
