No probs, Andy. I'm glad that they worked out for you. Lemme know when you want to pick the other log(s) up.

3 logs left.

I'm certainly no expert in the matter, but I have given it some thought. As with most things in woodworking, there are several ways you can approach it. You can go down the handtool path and start...

To make it official: I'll take it.

Will you take $100 total?

G'day Log Dog,

I'm interested in this piece, but first I have a few questions. Is the piece square all round including the ends to the face and edges? I need to know if I'll lose any due to...

Good to hear positive feedback from a long-term user. Thanks again, AJ.

YouTube video of the Try Square

The customized Try Square with "box" came to US $198 including shipping. Not exactly cheap, but pretty much what I expect to pay for a tool from a boutique maker. Woodpecker squares are around that...

G'day everyone,

I thought I'd shine a spotlight on a custom tool maker I came across on Etsy. The guy makes some really interesting tools that border on functional art. Below are a couple of...

Totally agree

Paul,

I see that as being a "positive" instead of a "negative" as it's unlikely my choice and location of hardware would be the same as the owners. Same goes for the location of dog holes and...

Not mine.

Split Top Roubo Workbench for sale in Brissie area. It looks well built (a smaller version of the Samurai Carpenter's bench) and can be disassembled for transport. IMHO, it's quite...

It's very easy to cut the mortice and install. I would not use a Domino. It's the wrong tool for the job and it would be so much harder. A plunge router with an edge guide would be the way to go. And...

Hello all,

Would anyone on here happen to have a PDF lid and base template (or similar) for the 3rd generation Systainers that they are willing to share? It won't be used commercially. I just want...

Thanks, but a 100mm diameter log would mean I couldn't get the blanks I need without avoiding the pith or centre of the log. As such, I'll pass but thank you for reaching out. Cheers, Mike.

Yep, I'm still interested if the logs will yield the blanks that I need and depending on your asking price. Cheers.

Mate, I totally understand. I've offered tools for sale to local customers only because I didn't want to go through the hassle of going into to Post Office. I do not begrudge you if you feel the same...

I'm interested in the Flame Hard Maple but would need it posted to Robertson 4109. I'm happy for the long piece to be chopped in two unequal lengths to make postage easier/cheaper. I'd want 350mm cut...

Sorry, I misunderstood.


Is the problem only at maximum extension or close to it?

I think you need to drill holes in your parallel guide and use a pin to prevent it from racking (i.e. dropping) vertically. Or use a "criss-cross" mechanism.

Firstly, I still consider myself a novice so take everything I say with a grain of salt.

Secondly, I believe it is generally accepted that low angle planes are better as shooting planes. I've only...

Pausing the video at the 1:34 mark, it looks like they used 4 of these connectors for a mitred join for what would be 600mm deep countertops. If I still correctly remember the formula from high...

Firstly, I'm no expert on them.

Secondly, if the countertop is straight (i.e. not L-shaped or similar), I would make or buy a panel that spans the entire length without any joins. Not only will it...

If the teak panels being joined are for the countertops, then I would suggest using these or something similar....

Ian,


We are in complete agreement when it comes to Veritas totes and handles, and I applaud Rob Lee for listening to his customers.

Thank you for the offer, but I have Hairy Oak and Buloke...

One look at that Moka pot and there's no doubting that the owner's a woody !! Me like !! :2tsup:

For sure, John. I could probably get by with the OEM handles on the Flat spokeshave, but the Round version definitely would benefit from custom handles IMO. No doubt I will still upgrade the handles...

Thanks gents. I get the feeling that I'll be finding excuses to using my spokeshaves in the future and probably incorporating more free-form curves in my designs. I don't know what it is about them,...

I've found one and it looks to be in good nick and with the nickers and original fence and not one from a #78 which is usually the case. The only thing missing is the depth stop but I'm hoping the...

A big "thank you" to those that shared their experiences and offered advice. I'm now the owner of the Veritas Flat (front) and Round (a special thank you to Mr Brush). I've had a bit of...

It would seem no one has one that they're willing to sell so I've pulled the trigger on a new one from Carbatec. Cheers.

From my research into spokeshaves thus far, I got the impression the low angle varieties take more getting used to. I saw/read somewhere that the action required to operate low angle spokeshaves...

No doubt one day I'll make my own planes and perhaps even some spokeshaves, but atm, I have too many projects on my "to do" list to even contemplating making my own. And as per my earlier post, as a...

Thanks for your kind words, Andrew. I'm very happy how it turned out and I really surprised myself. Tune in next week to the same Bat-channel for the next installment titled "Shaker Roubo Hybrid...

Thanks Derek. It's always a pleasure to shoot the breeze with a fellow woody. The next bench won't be as long or as deep and therefore won't be as heavy but it won't need to be because it'll be up...

Payment received and item has been picked up so it is now officially sold. Nice to meet you, Derek.:2tsup:

Yep, I'll take 250, Derek. And pick up this weekend will be fine. I'll PM you my details. Cheers.

As per the title, I'm after the flat-soled Veritas Spokeshave. I have the round-soled version on the way, so I only need the flat. Please let me know if you have one that you're willing to sell.

Here's the link to the Boggs interview Fergiz mentioned. The audio is out of synch but I found it enlightening particularly the part where they talk about growth rings orientation to minimise and...

Thanks Fergiz. I'll be sure to watch it.


Cheers,

Thanks Martin, and that's a lovely example of the 311.

I'm quite surprised how well the 2509 performs. I was always confident that I could restore it and make it a usable plane, but I was...

Thank you for your generous offer, Ian. I will definitely take you up on it. PM incoming.



Cheers,
Mike

Here ya go mate :D
