Just a question our of curiosity....at a garage sale recently, I picked up a whole lot of Fine Woodwork, Aus Wood Review and Au Woodworker magazines. In amongst them was Issue 1 of "Creative...

Antman,

Also check the blade thoroughly for pitting, damage, warping, and that there's enough left to be useful.

Although old blades are usually good quality, it may be better to replace it -...

Thanks Oldblock - I think I can visualise the exhaust. Will keep something like this in mind for when I get my workshop set up next year.

No offence meant on the sawpit analogy - I was referring...

Hi,

Oldblock, I'd be interested to see a pic of your extraction system if you can post one, sounds interesting and worth a look.

Another problem that isn't mentioned (comes under "eye...

Hi,

Thanks Wayne for the links - I didn't see the original message thread. These look like what I'm after, I figured someone somewhere would have written something.

Hi,

Thanks for the initial replies. I did the cut-outs/graph paper thing with my current layout, just wondered if there was something more high-tech. I have used Rhino 3D and AutoCAD a little in...

Hi,

I am soon to move house and will (hopefully) have the funds and space to set up a half-decent workshop finally. Being the pedantic type, I'd like to plan it out to see what I can fit, rather...

Hi all,

Thanks for the advice. I checked out the UK boards, and whilst the usual mixed reviews (depending on whether people owned one or not), overall the vote was against Kity compared to a few...

Hi,

Do a search on Google or similar for "woodwork plans" and you'll get lots of sites, mainly in the US, offering plans. All seem to have at east a couple of tool chests, cabinets or shop...

Hi,

A lot of old wooden planes may not have makers marks - either none at all or just not visible through wear. Often owners stamped their names or initials in them too.

One of the most common...

Hi Darren (from another Darren),

Wooden planes cna be a joy to use, as they are lighter and more responsive than metal planes, and tend to trnsfer more of the feel of the wood being planed to your...

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I do think we do pretty well out here when it comes to the affordability of tools, but reason suggests that buying in the country of manufacture must entail some...

Hi,

Perhaps an odd request. I may have a trip to Tokyo coming up later this year, and my first thought was naturally where to see some wood stuff while there.

I assume there would be a better...
