Good morning Gentlemen. I have a great sselection of small Besseys but I have a good collection of old Pallcall pipe clamps (from markets, garage sales etc) some Record sash clamps and a mixture of others. Most of them are good strong and hold their shape well so haven't had to fork out for Besseys. My long sets of pipe clamps are 3m and they come back form there.
Yes Pops, much lighter and easier to handle. The large square is 23 5/16" x 12 1/4" or 590 x 310 approx, it is between 150 and 170 years old and was my Great Great Grandfathers but by the initals burnt into it I think it may have been his father inlaws before that. Sorry don't know if anyone is still making them
. It is in great condition and deadly acurate. I love it.

Hi Guys, yes a special tool, I have his whole tool chest and most of his tools. I always feel like he looking over my shoulder though when ever I am using them. I often talk to him while I'm working. He has never answered (at least not in words)
Working around home thismorning and then off to shoot some waskely wabbits this afternoon.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

The very top looks like it is two different pieces of wood, is that the case?

Oh, still here abouts, just snowed under again. Cleaned up about 18 or so wabbits so much fun
.
Ok, back to work, next lot of pics, finished the install today. Clients are happy and ordered their next piece. Kitchen island bench for January and so it rolls on.
Lots of other small jobs happening too, just so I don't get board.
Next project is a Jarrah dining table 3.3 x 1.2, Mal delivers the timber next week so I have a few days to catch my breath. Still plenty to do in the meanwhile. I won't be resting I'm sure

Good morning guys, wasn't sure at first how the 90 at the top and the curve would go together but it worked a treat. Yes Christos, its been an ongoing project so the 4 draw filing cab was cut to 2 x 2 drawers, then the old wardrobe was altered to open all three fromt panels, then the desk and lastly the bookshelves. Another one bites the dust.
