Woodworking Mornington Crescent

[Steve Maskery]

Why haven't we got a forum version of Mornington Crescent?

It seems only appropriate, under the circumstances, to play by the Rounded Bevel variant. So Short Diagonals are allowed but Long ones will incur a penalty, OK? I'll begin.

Record No. 5

 

[That would work]

May I request that the figure of eight honing action be allowed?

 

[Steve Maskery]

Well that might adversely affect jig-only shapeners, but I'll allow it as it serves them right for not being able to hone freehand.

 

[AES]

Steve, now you've REALLY confused poor Phil!

OK, I'll up your Record No. 5 with "Sliding Bevel Gauge".

"Next please"

 

[That would work]

Samantha has just asked if 3 in 1 is permissable?

 

[Trainee neophyte]

Assuming that you are playing the Triple Helsinki rule, then an oblique pinned scarf joint should work, but I will defer to the panel, obviously.

(And that is the sum total of my knowledge of Mornington Crescent, so I shall leave quietly, before I make an arris of myself.)

 

[Steve Maskery]

Samantha has just asked if 3 in 1 is permissable?

I'm sorry but we can't have that as I've already allowed the Figure of Eight, and I was in two minds about that.

Who said anything about the Triple Helsinki Rule? Obviously, that's been deprecated by the Introduction of the Short Diagonals!

Have you even bothered to read the rules?

 

[Garno]

I think I have just slipped into the twilight zone

 

[Yojevol]

This is getting ridiculous. I'm tempted to Plough Plane my own furrow. Or should that be Plow Plane my own furlough
Just trying out the new range of 's

[That would work]

In that case I'm going to claim my right under the (little known) circumvent clause and use my Record no 020c.

 

[Eric The Viking]

Um, 'Pinner?" he said, with a rising note of desperation.

 

[Eric The Viking]

And Biscuit joiners and the Northern Line should both be wild.

 

[Rorschach]

You are all mad!......................


You never specified bevel up or bevel down!

Ah but surely, now that we are in a non Edinburgh Fringe round, should the special "Morningside Crescent" sub adendum not apply and therefore would AES not have played a a digital angle finder instead? and if so then I lay a Sliding Dovetail Plane on the table (wooden of course)

 

[That would work]

I'll up you a left handed side rebate.

 

[Phlebas]

I think you will find you are in nip. You forgot Underhill's Convention.

This is why I no longer play the amateur game...

 

[Yojevol]

I think we should get back to the original Mornington Crescent concept.
So I'm getting my compasses out to draw a CIRCLE LINE and head off to (Royal) OAK.

 

[That would work]

That was superceded by the underwood compliance clause v.2.1.
Because you never need to bother with it.
Incidentally, v2.1 covered both the amateurs and the pro's game following Samantha's successful appeal.

Sneaky use of the trumpingtons variation I see. Well we shall have to see if Steve will allow it but in the mean time I think it should be pushed further afield so "48mm Tsunesaburo".
