All veneers have gone to a good home.

You are welcome to come and get as little or as much as you want. PM me if you want an address.

I have many sheets of veneer. Most of it is unknown, but there is Blackwood, European Ash, Sapele and Royal Elm. I wouldn't even know how to begin to package this stuff for postage. You are going to...

Sold. Sorry I can't figure how to "mark as sold" in title in index

I may post a picture if necessary but we all know what these are and what they look like. I'll give it a while longer then we go to eBay.

I have for sale a veritas honing guide mk2. it is complete with box and instructions. It came to me as part of a package with a lot of planes and saws and chisels. I just prefer other sharpening...

Maybe one of our USA friends on the forum can help you out with purchasing and redirecting it to you.

I'm in.

Without trying to hijack this thread I do have a question about files. Are all triangular files saw files or are they different in some way? I have a lot of small files and was wondering as I am...

I have a set of plans from reso outfitters for a six string squareneck reso. Thing is I think now I would like to build an 8 string. The obvious changes are longer headstock, wider neck and fretboard...

Awesome

OK that settles it. I'm going to keep them. Anyway It's not like I can lift them any more. They are beautiful, sound wonderful but really should have had more use over the last few years.

Sitting...

I have removed some carpet and underfelt at work. The underfelt comes off easily if just rubbed with my boot but leaves glue marks where it has been glued down. My boss wants these removed but not...

Thanks for all the advice. It does seem possible, and as Mr Frid suggests even desirable, to change all saws to rips saws. I'll be giving it a go for sure but will also buy a good rip saw with less...

I wondered if it may be as simple as just filing the teeth to the correct angles (8 degrees) straight across and not alternately angled??? But then the rear of the teeth will not be at the correct...

Having had my lovely rip saw stolen along with most of my other stuff this year, I still do have quite a few reasonable saws but they are not rip saws.

I have wondered if it is possible to...

I know this is an oldish thread but I am going on a cruise on something called the "Pacific Sun" from Newcastle on Oct 8. I'd rather be on your Hartley.

Remarkable.

I've got a few tools and still couldn't make a violin. Perhaps I should just keep the swiss army knife.

What a great story.

Never ventured into this side of the forum before. Hope to see some new names.

Maybe check out Derek Cohens site. He made a tool similar to this.

Mine lacks a depth stop but can easily be added in the future.

Here is a plane which appeared recently on Ebay. The pictures were not that descriptive and it looked like a regular fillister. I thought it may be different (the description suggested as much but...

Wow! do a google on Mit a Mit and you get just one revelant hit in Australia. I have a mit a mit egg beater drill. #26R (ratchet). What a beauty too. Handy for tight spots. I love to use these where...

Great choice of project.

Can I suggest, as a pragmatist, that I'm guessing you are 17 years old. When considering the height of the bench factor in that you may grow a little more in the next...

Well Whatever it is, it is just beautiful.

Well done. Go to the top of the class.

Tell your teacher that with a student who can produce work like that then it is the least he/she can do to get you something better than radiata pine. Box...

thanks.
what you say makes perfect sense now . I just hope my filing can create a flat bed rather than a curved one which may damge the tool further.Thanks again.

WB

thank you Mr Hama.

I need to be sure what exactly to file. My confusion is that, through usage over the years, some part has worn. To take a file to fix this seems contradictory. I'm concerned...

I have a 6" rabone model 1902 combination square. It is a favourite tool, just perfect to fit in the hand and a pleasure to use for those little boxes. It has recently gone out of square. It measures...

The Turner looks sensational.

I had cause to remove some serious gunk from my automatic chorline dispenser recently. nothing worked. It was still gunked up.

you make me feel a little guilty. My shed is a shambles. But i am having a garage sale this weekend so maybe I'll have a reno too when I get some space to move..

My! What a touchy thread this has turned out to be.

How about this for an "out there" scenario.

The chasers could really be terrorists. They have the perfect cover now. Develop a "take the...

Should the chasers have been arrested?

Is it that bad that we have lost our sense of humour?

I'm on their side

If you want to use the table saw just remember to flip the piece over end for end so that the same edge is against the fence for both passes.

WB

It is very tempting to get a rough sawn board and to cut to final dimensions. This is the last thing you want to do.

In almost all episodes of woodworking it is critical that the timber be...

Don't expect to get anything of much quality for that price. (Aldi stores have one this week for about that or less).

For that money you may get a used Triton if you can find one. Some people...

Don't know about Trekkie, but certainly a Truckie (well he towed a caravan and sang about trucks. And yeah, he has been photographed next to a truck)

WB

Just watched it. I was going to post it as well. That was pretty yuk and a hard way to learn about safety.

On the other channel was "House", so much more realistic:U

WB

my god! Hardenfast!! I've only just noticed your avatar.

I'll bet you have a decent table saw. But you left to door open one night and your horse got in and was using it.

WB

My electric clippers have ceased to cut and need sharpening. They are Remmington, similar to to type barbers use but of a poorer quality no doubt. They have been fine for about 12 years.

I have...

Don't know if this has been done before. I'll kick off.
