Mike,

You're the first to spot it. .

No he's not, he's just the first to consider it of any significance.

...I must admit to having this

the very one, and one of these

Fixed the code for ya, Jim. (Cripes, this is like old times indeed...) Very tasty gloatage there.

Alf,

Love the NX60 review and I completely agree. After getting it I sold my LN60 1/2. I had always cursed its awkward lateral adjustment and in this respect the NX60 is a revelation in comparison. Haven't missed the LN for a second.

Thanks for sorting the pics.

Not sure now. The NX60 looks very bling (and it is) but in use there's something about it that I find strange...I can't put my finger on it and say exactly what quite, but strange. I have the 60.5 as well and reach for it every time...seems to sit better in the hand somehow
The Barnsley 'shop were also evaluating it (NX60) and had their doubts as well
As to adjusting the lateral movement, a simple tap with a Phillytapometer is all I ever need to do to adjust it. It also helps if the blade is honed dead square which is guaranteed with the KIII honing guide - Rob

 

[Alf]

Naturally I haven't the foggiest idea what I said about it now (will go and read own review :roll: ) but worse, I can't think which block I reach for most often either. I do seem to recall the NX60/DX60 falls between the two stools of common block plane sizes, being long and slim, and I wonder if that tells against it to the experienced user who's naturally attuned to a certain size?

Phillytapometer

Hammer? :-s

KIII honing guide

I'm so out of touch. It's a honing guide and it's made by...?

Hey, this is like Life on Mars - I've woken up and found myself in a world where Alf is posting again on UKWorkshop! Brilliant!

Very glad you're back, Alf.

 

[Vormulac]

Well HOORAH! and might I venture a HUZZAH! into the bargain, Alf is among us once more!

I'm feeling all choked up and a little moist.

Welcome back!

 

[Harbo]

Welcome back Alf - you have been missed!

Philly makes (and sells) plane hammers.

The Honing Guide is made by Richard Kell - Workshop Heaven sell them.

With Old age bladder control can become a problem.
Can I suggest you try not to get overexcited

Naturally I was thinking 'with tears of joy'... :wink: :lol:

Be careful of condensation - when I shared my work shop with one
I had areal problem with keeping the rust at bay

WooHoo Alf returns. Good to see you back on the bike again (even if you use the stabilisers for a bit until you are steady enough again)

 

[Alf]

Naturally I was thinking 'with tears of joy'... :wink: :lol:

Glad we got that one cleared up... :shock:

Cheers, Rod - found Rob's review of the guide. As for Phil, sigh, I remember when I was pushing him down The Slope and now he's building a brand new slope to push everyone else down. How quickly they grow up. :lol:

cheers geoff - already been considered - its a condensing one not vented so that should be less of an issue - plus i can run a dehumidifier on a timeswitch if necessary

Brilliant Alf is back,
I was busy Sunday and missed the the start of the post but this has made my day,

Welcome back Alf so good to hear from you again and as you see a lot of people missed you,

Cheers Nigel

 

[CHJ]

back Alf,

Sort of made my evening when settling down to see what had been happening in the world after a weekend away and found you back in communication.

As others have said, although I just reside in the spinny side of wood mangling these days, your input to the knowledge base on tools and things broadens my appreciation and understanding of the wider field.

Well Alf,
I`ve been through the LN web pages three times now and I still can`t find that egg cracker

Kind regards, Mark W

What? A Lie Nielson teaspoon?

It'll be very expensive, look very good, be useable straight from the polythene bag and do the job just about as well as any other teaspoon.
