    bessey clamps seeking owner

    There is a Norman registered on Woodwork UK, but he hasn't posted. I didn't know they banned people over on the other side! You must be a really terrible person!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I'm sure in the interest of helping someone out, no one would mind.

    Experimenting with the Grimsdale method

    SDBranam - Nice articles, though you may want to post them on wwuk as it seams that Jacob isn't able to post here any longer and I'm sure he would apprectiate seeing it. I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are after using the system for a while. BugBear- I think it always has...

    In all honesty, it would be exactly grim!!! Funny how things work out.

    Hollow backs on Japanese chisels

    That's interesting Rob, i've been thinking of getting some Jap' chisels myself. Why do you think they work better with a single bevel? Is it because it gives you more "meat" behind the cutting edge? Surely its having a larger surface to register on the sharpening medium would make it easier...

    website

    I agree that the issue of local or not is probably down to individuals and trust. I'm not so sure that the parallels to woodworking are quite so valid. There is far more help out there (software, templates, forums etc) for a DIY web designer than there would be for someone to make their own...

    website

    Why not have a go yourself, if it works out then all well and good, if not pay someone to do it for you. If you end up having to pay someone, then atleast you will have a very good idea of what you want. It's really not that difficult for the sort of site that you require, if you are prepared...

    How do professinol cabinet makers cut mitres?

    I voted table saw. I use the sliding carriage on the table saw, usually with a false bed

    Mitres are harder than dovetails!

    I'm not sure I follow you Rob - the mitres on the join between the riser and the string are about 200mm long - and dead on accurate. Admittedly it's only one corner/joint but i'm sure a box could be done using the same methods.

    Mitres are harder than dovetails!

    Rob - that's a pretty snobby response if you ask me. Have a look here - the mitres on the strings/risers were done with a circular saw and are perfect. (or should I say accurate, and really long, as they are bigger than the benchmark 120mm for longness???) Sometimes it's not the tools that...

    My first foray into veneering

    Lovely piece, really like it. However, if you have gone to all that effort to create it why didn't you take the same care when finishing the sides of the drawer?????

    "cheap" hardwood options?

    I have so much of this type of small offcut that I throw away every week that I could probably keep a shed full of beginners in offcuts. I've tried advertising it for firewood but nobody wants it. Nothing exotic, but if you are just beginning or want something to practice with it would be...

    Leyandii & Neighbours

    i would suggest that putting razor wire around a school perimeter would be incredibly irresponsible. I can't see you saying screw you to the child injured on it whilst retrieving thier ball or similar/worse. I would continue speaking to the head to see if a resolution can be agreed i.e for...
