have a fold out stanley thing I use for beating out nails and screws and it's hard as nails been abusing it for the past 20 years .Still solid as a rock . bought a mhg mid priced one to try out it snapped straight down the length in about 3months of medium hard abuse

I can't agree with the first part of your statement but i only have experience of a few brand but the ones ive got are nog far off of flat and square however the second part I agree with. Will be fun to try and make some through . I like the idea of a shorter butt chisel with a longer japanese...

agree thankyou . I don't know if it will stack up financially yet I havnt even priced the steel etc but will make a few and see how much they cost each

May well all be true but I want to make some as an experiment . I already own a few sets of decent ish chisels . ashley iles and Robert sorby . vintage marples and richter mortice is next on the list to buy . you can never have too many tools though

perhaps it's always easier to find a reason not to do something than it is to find a reason to do something. Thats also why i asked about things people were struggling to get .If nothing else it will be an learning exercise for me and my son as well who has an interest in engineering or as he...

perhaps but thats why i asked about things people were struggling to get .If nothing else it will be an learning exercise for me and my son as well who is autistic and has an interest in engineering . I originally wanted to make knives but his school have warned against that .the too expensive...

toying with the idea of making some chisels ( brother has an engineering firm so have access to tool grinders etc ) So looking for ideas atm, is there anything anyone is struggling to get ? I was struggling to get mortice chisels a fee years ago but there seems to be a lot more on the market...

looks very smart ! how do you get on with the vacume bag ? is it a pain to set up or not too bad when you get the hang of it ?

yeah it's been planed to fit . we chose this brand (lpd ) because they had more scope to trim the door than most and its an old house and the openings a bit tight . the door lining was so bowed and I didn't want to plane the brand new door to the shape of a banana the amount of messing around I...

God sake haha

thankyou this is pretty much what I thought . it looks a lot like the hardwood lippings I get for firedoors which I get from howdens .

hi my partners bought some engineered oak doors and I knew they wouldn't be made of solid oak but I did assume the veneers and lipping around the door would be made of oak . this door the veneer looks fine but any hardwood parts of the door seem to be made of a different hardwood altogether...

yeah I agree , i can't remember why I put that in but it's been there a few years and hasn't caused a problem so far so I'll leave it

that's good news to hear thanks . one of the best thing about these is the dust extraction with the hoover plugged in there isn't even the tiniest bit of dust anywhere it's so nice to be able to join things quickly and so clean . also the retractable pins are great as you don't need to even mark...

I have this one I paid 400 for it which I thought was fair . I have seen them around 200 bur they were battered and still snapped up in two seconds . there are two versions this is the same one I have . I'm still going to buy the larger cutters and give it a try maybe try and slow the speed down...

I got a cheap circle cutting jig/trammel from wnew . I think you can cut some quite small holes with it although I've not actually tried it . about 20quid on ebay

hi would like to ask is osmo hardwax oil ok to apply to a veneered oak interior door ? I was worried because I've read some finishes can cause the veneer to delaminate . the doors are lpd doors and it says on their website not suitable for waxes ,dyes oils or polishes . then goes on to recommend...

had problems sanding osmo hardware oil first cist when sanded above 129grit . It says on the bottle not to sand above 120 and if I did it wouldn't sand up correctly . hard to describe what it looked like but went white and cloudy for lack of a better word . came here looking if it was OK to use...
