    Dining bench

    How about a 'Hopper' front for the storage case Doug? Or a simple drop-down panel? I'd favour the hopper, as all toys could be contained and won't fall out when the box is opened. John (hammer)

    Record Rosewood Handles?

    As long as the handles are not resin, ( and although I could be wrong, I don't believe Record ever went down the resin-road, ) then I'm happy to fettle and use Record planes. John (hammer)

    Leyland Trade Paint

    When I buy a new tin of paint, I am not going to use immediately, I store the tin upside down for a few days to allow what's settled to re mix. Helps a lot with stirring. HTH John (hammer)

    Dovetail jigs - UJK vs Trend vs others?

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keller-Dovetai ... psc=1etail jigs you can buy The Keller Jig. Pros. If you want to go with a jig, this is about as quick and simple as it gets for utility work. Looks better than the lap-dovetail jigs you can buy and will go to any width. Soon mastered in use...

    Stanley-bridges drill spares

    Mine still works. In my early days modified all my handheld-power tools to a system somewhat like the Festool. I gave them all a 'pigtail' plug to fit the one longer lead socket. So that's what my Stanley Bridges drill has now. Works a treat! No lead trailing everywhere when I want to put it...

    Quick release vice just too tedious? This is for you :)

    An improvement I dreamed about was a mini-chain morticer; about the size of the domino with interchangeable bits. Operating on the plunge like a domino. That's what I call overkill. :mrgreen: John (hammer)

    I really need a saw set..

    You can use a screwdriver to twist the set into place. A la Frank Klausz. I've never tried it, but I am sure it will work. John (hammer)

    Never lend tools!!

    One could use it as a nail set; in typical Brummagem fashion! John (hammer)

    Making a router table

    Before I had to stop working for this infection, I found I could get along well with my Trend 'RouterRack' system. There is a table with this set up, but the aperture is only about 60mm diameter and so restricts the 'throw'. However I much prefer using the router upright and will often make a...

    Indeed Andy. There are quite a few too! Cheers for the comment. :D John (hammer)

    Enforced absence

    Would you believe it? I had a relapse and this pesky infection took me back to square one. So another five days in hospital! Still, I am now back in Rehab, and on my feet once again; shuffling, but on the mend. Should be home by Christmas! :mrgreen: Much to my daughter's impending dismay I...

    Making table tops

    How many sash cramps needed? Usually more than you have! John (hammer)

    Enforced absence

    Latest developments. I actually walked again to day; using the Zimmer, but a big step in recovery! :lol: John (hammer)

    Favorite YouTube woodworker

    I like John Bullar's offerings. No side, No swank. Just in control. I'd like to do videos too. Just that no one really wants to listen to a Brummie, droning on! :lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPQK_EGyXbY John (hammer)

    Tall plank dovetail

    Derek. That's about as tall as I would want to go at my time of life! Couldn't slant that in the vice unless I hot-melted a temporary batten to the work piece, to fit it in the vice. Probably I would lay it flat on the bench though and hold-fast it down. Easy enough to turn it over to get at...

    Tall plank dovetail

    Good reason to cut them in the living room, with a good vacuum cleaner to hand! Cheers John :mrgreen:

    What are they and what are they used for

    Had an X-ray a couple of days ago; in front of summat like that! :mrgreen: John (hammer)
