Clifton Planes and Finn Saws

[okeydokey]

Ive just watched a Made in Britain Programme featuring how they make Clifton Planes - if you get a chance well worth watching.
ITV 4 (?) should be able to find it on ITV Hub.

Thanks! I'm looking for it now, and it appears to be Series 3 Episode 8. Does this description match what you watched?

"How a biochemist-turned-distiller is making Britain's first commercially produced rum, and what it takes to make a George Cross - Britain's highest civilian award for bravery. Plus, the man who is going back to nature thanks to his handmade wooden canoes, and the Sheffield firm making the tools of the trade for the world finest furniture makers."

It’s not the same one On YouTube. Worth seeking out the one on ITV Player that Okeydokey has highlighted. The canoe making item on the same programme is also interesting.

Yes I think thats it MikeK, I came into the room just about when the Clifton bit started.
Ive looked at the YouTube and some of its the same content, the original somehow manages to do with a good English accent and not an American voice over. Might have been one of the business owners and worker who mentioned at least once the tremendous pride they have in making the product and working for the company

Tim Healey (from "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet", etc). Nice to hear a regional accent - even if it isn't a Yorkshire one

Thanks for posting - I certainly would have missed it otherwise

Nice to see and hear how my jack plane was made.

It would be nice once in a while to hear one from the somewhere south of the midlands (other than London).

Interesting programme, I shall watch the rest.
