    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    I don't think our inscrutable oriental/aussie friend would stoop to that. Eat cats yes, but dummy up a darkside scenario, never. :eek:

    Upon further inspection of the photograph they DO look like cat peelings as opposed to wood shavings!

    While I have taken some pleasure in using my Veritas smoothing plane, and its nice to cut some pieces with a handsaw....

    I have ~ 21 metres of 80 * 40 recycled Jarrah to joint and thickness this weekend.

    Its going to take me long enough getting them straight and down to size using the jointer and thicknesser....

    I simply couldnt cope doing all that by hand. I also am not retired, therefore I have little time to do the multitude of projects, SWMBO, friends and relatives have queued up for me...

    It takes me long enough to get stuff done burning electrons!!!. Dunno how you darksiders getanything done!

    So when are you going to get yourself a mixer Al. Or is there just something special about mixing mud in a barrow.....

    Nothing quite like it....you are at one with the sand, cement, lime, bycol and water......the sixth element maybe.

    I understand Wongo. I hate those hand tools too. As soon as I have a sharp plane in my hands I can't help but make a mess on the bench, the floor and everywhere in the shed. And that's just with long thin wood shavings. I think I'll have to get the waterstones out and sharpen something.

    Imagine what it would be like if I had a bench as beautiful as yours... I have to make me one of those and finally retire the crappy Pine frame with MDF top to the tip.

    Default Darkside?

    If I buy a plane does that qualify me as a darksider (if I promise ti use it?)
    If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!
