nice tills guys, but surely they are all temporary.
the first one is just knocked up to meet the present needs, then
we get more skilful and want something more beautiful, and more
to reflect our newer skills. Then we aim for Studley. but what we do not
know is how long it took Studley to make his box that we now see.
last year i made a new cupboard in the hall of my flat(apartment) to
hide the hot water cylinder and so on, and then to put my power
tools. once i'd got the 708 dewalt in to this place, i ran out of space.
gawd knows where the hand tools are going to go. Having sharpened
them, now i need to use them to make their homes.
but like us all, i have this double edged problem, some work is done
at home, some on site. so what do i build a portable one, that inevitably
gets to be too heavy, so like everybody i end up using a bunch of the
cases our power tools come in, and a couple of rucksacks to carry the
hand tools.
then we need a bench at home, do we put tools into that?
the problem is never ending, because just as soon as we get the
first one built something new comes along, and it has to be left out
until we can find another home,or storage facility.
evie made a comment elsewhere about planing full shavings.
surely that depends upon how flat the wood is, not just the
position of the blade? Mike W you know more about that than me.
