Thanks Alf for posting a link, but careful girl, don't go over the top. I might have to go all coy. My hits have shot up since your table has been posted!!! I am patiently waiting for the next big jig design. Thanks, Aldel :oops:

The new WoodRat forum is alive and well but on a different server. Go to http://www.woodrat.com and select forum to renew your links. You will also need to re-register as all the old data has been lost however I have a good deal of the previous info on my site. Regards Aldel

In the shop. You could always 'phone them. There were a few for both big and little 'uns. Aldel

Philly, I think there is a clear divide between woodwork for a living and as a hobby. As a profession, time is money and things need to be planned and completed in the most cost effective way. This generally means the criteria are the quickest and simplest way commensurate with the quality of...

Yes and he is very plane looking too!! aldel :D

Roger, To reach a wider audience on the woodrat you could also try posting on the woodrat forum. I seem to remember that there has been some mention that the scale has been stuck on a few MM out and so you will have to try an experiment with some positioning. Aldel

I never allow WD40 (yuck, terrible stuff!) anywhere near the workshop. It does ,I believe, contain silicones and that is the last thing you want on wood. Use Duck oil or 3in1. I have found the water dispersal properties of DW40 makes water bead up and and so leaves circular rust pits when it...

I visited Axminster yesterday and the had some on sale. Aldel

There are currently two 'Rats for sale on Ebay!!

Philly, its very expensive stuff and can be found at electrical wholesalers, metal suppliers Radio spares and such like. Much better to source as scrap. (It looks like John did) Its used for mounting switchgear on electrical panels etc. Probably much, much cheaper to buy a new WoodRat plate...

If any of you WoodRat users are interested, I have had a chat with John Bailey and F&CM and had permission to upload some details of John's curved rails. There is also a picture of a novel scraper holder. It can found on the Feedback3 page herehttp://www.aldel.co.uk Regards Aldel :D

Sorry Tony, I used a Rat and a Leigh Jig. At risk of provoking a fight between the pro's and anti's I find both excellent. I no longer have all the Leigh templates purely because I could not warrant keeping them all. A few years ago I was commisioned to make some sales presentation boxes for a...

Thanks Chris , a good idea, I'll do that after I've chilled down a bit. aldel

Have you ever had one of those jobs where every possible thing goes wrong and you keep on going when you know you shouldn't? Well get your hanky out and have a look here http://www.aldel2.co.uk/photo.htm I have created a temporary web site just to post some photos of my sob story and I am...

You need to buy yourself the new Veritas torsional compass plane. Aldel :D

Philly, yes it does. Keep it off your fingers as much as possible. I believe it contains a very small amount of methanol as an anti-freeze agent. I also use it on my diamond and ceramic stones. Aldel

Try a 50/50 mix of windscreen wash and water as a lubricant. I think you will be surprised at the result. Aldel

yup, no doubt about it, left is best by a long way. aldel :D

Oh no no Philly, please don't apologize, :oops: :oops: I really enjoy reading about the new aquisitions and its great to learn about the advantages of superior tools so please keep it up! My remarks were not directed at any individual. Its the skill, knowledge and enthusiasm of all posting...

Well this forum has now reached over 800 members and so it must have something special for it to be so successful, in fact I think I may be becoming addicted. I believe that extra special thanks must go to Charley for hosting free of charge and especially to Ali (Alf the link master and...
