I do not dislike M2 HSS steel or any equivalents - it's just inappropriate use that's the problem. High speed steels have their place and were designed for modern engineered materials and power tools...

Yes, I did!

If I told you the plane blade was made of plastic, wouldn't you?

My reasoning is, if the cutting blade is nasty, does it really matter if everything else is fine?

I'm not going to bother with a review of a second rate cutting material (M2 HSS). Timbecon's website states the MTC's blade is made of HSS and that's not hearsay. Like I said, I switched off...

I'm a huge fan of Luban (or it's other global names). This MTC brand never raised a purchase interest for me, simply because I've got a Luban/QS/Woodriver/Juuma L.A. plane already, which is the best...

Hello

$65.00 for all FW + RB + $9.40 postage (Postcode is Tuncurry 2428)?

I'll take if so.

Hello

$65.00 for all FW + RB + postage (Postcode is Tuncurry 2428)?

I'll take if so.

I have mentioned in this thread earlier that Woodriver, is a Juuma, is a Quangsheng and is also a Luban. The differences are aesthetics and moot, e.g. such as the plane's label. Rob Cosman's video,...

Trade dress law is essentially, rules intended to protect a companies' brand from being impersonated by a competitor. D.W. (i.e. David) has repetatively tried to discredit others and has constantly...

My experiences do not compare to your own and I own a considerable number of these Chinese badged planes (i.e Luban, WR, etc.). Actually, I own almost everything, as well as, multiple complete sets...

I don't think there is an issue of trade dress at all; there's no court case ruling against any of them and that's because all three are clearly distinguishable from everything else. Do you have any...

Hello Jim

Yeah, the old Stanley 55 blades are mostly compatible with the new Veritas Combination Plane, but my question was the other way around. I don't want to buy the new Veritas Combination...

I have just purchased at the local tool markets a Stanley 55 Plane. The old blades in this collection are dilapidated, missing, or broken and I was considering the possibility that they could be...

I agree fundamentally, however one critical point:

Luban is Woodriver is Quangsheng is Juuma. For all I know, it's probably sold with another dozen labels across the world as well. I own a...

I'm looking forward to watching these and thanks for the sale. Incidentally, looking at the pictures of David Charlesworth above, I wonder if he loses small tools in all that impressive hair, such...

Hello. I'll take all 3. Please send pm for payment details. I'm Tuncurry NSW 2428.

I'll take it!

Thank you. I look forward to reading what you find out. Your perspective on these two models, that are in many ways two similarly featured machines, sold by the same retailer, where you've owned...

Hello Woollybutt

You mentioned you upgraded to a Nova Drill Press from the Carbatec model you're now selling. The Nova is roughly three times the price of the Carbatec and I'd be interested to...

I remember having the same problem when I first used PM's. From memory, but don't quote me, but I think "Sent" PM's are automatically deleted once sent. To change that, you have to go into your...

Thank you for the information woodchopper, as it was very helpful. I found copies of the book as a result. If "Wood" is given to someone else, I can now find another copy and I think it is...

Could I have more details about the book titled "Wood" please, such as the author and/or publisher. As you can imagine, doing a search for a book with that name, is probably not going to filter out...

Cool. They look interesting books. With whatever you've got left at the end of the week, which I gather is Sunday, that doesn't get picked up in the meantime, I'll go with postage to Tuncurry NSW...

Hello

I'll take what ever is left if you don't get any pickups by the end of the week. I live in Tuncurry NSW 2428, but I won't ask for a quote just yet; lets see what's left at the end of the...

Hello Mike

Got both books safely and I'm very happy with them. Thanks and take care.

Hello Mike

I noticed with interest, that this book thread was at the top of the "Miscellaneous" forum category and I felt like I'd seen it before (without knowing I had); lol. I was hoping you...

Readers familiar with my prior transaction with TORB, would probably not expect to see me posting in this "thanks" thread, but this morning in the mail, I've received from TORB, an iGaging 900mm...

Hello Tom

Incidentally, I was considering buying your first listed book, but when I did some research on it, I discovered it's part of a huge Time-Life book series, called "Woodsmith Custom...

I'll take these

I've received the books and they're great. They were well packaged and the books themselves are in fantastic condition. Thanks Tom.

I'm late to this thread and it's been inactive for awhile; if either or both books, "Creating The Perfect Wood Finish" & "The Polishers Handbook", are still for sale, I'll take them + postage to...

Hello Tom

The problem is solved and neither of us made a mistake. The payment has been completed and it's on it's way. The bank is reporting it will take 1-2 business days for you to receive the...

Bank transfer has been sent. Bank says expect it in 1-2 business days. Soon it will be time to build a canoe and know how to protect it from Queensland pests, even though I live in NSW.

Hello Tom

No problem with the postage. Something has gone wrong with trying to transfer the payment though - it's saying your account doesn't exist. I'll talk to my bank tomorrow, to try and...

I'll take these.

I take the lot.

Lie Nielsen Australia Website (Store page for high angle frogs) states:
"These frogs will also fit our other planes with 2" (5.08cm) or 2-3/8" (6cm) blades. Will not fit other makes of planes."

Hello JB

I've sent a private message with my details. I'm happy to pay by bank deposit. Can you confirm you received this message, because my notifications are saying I didn't send a message. ...

I'll take them.

Recycled railways sleepers is something to avoid utterly. They may contain asbestos and that's not the only thing that makes them extremely toxic; just don't do it!

Remember what I said earlier...

@Mountain Ash: I don't know where you're going with this and you've taken us off the thread topic. Wood/working wood cannot be removed from the risks associated with it. The phrase "working safely"...

If anyone wants to find a new home for their Lie Nielsen 10 1/4 Jack Rabbet Plane, please sent me a reply, as I'm very keen to own one. Let me know how much you would want for it, as well as the...

"I'll take it".

Never bought anything here before, so what happens now? I better start reading about it, I guess.

Edit: Just realized, this is from 2020 and I read in the next sale that you've...

Hi Mountain Ash. In responding to your query, it's important to realize (and I'm sure you do), that wood is a dangerous product to work with and in countless critical catastrophic ways (let's call it...

Treated wood is toxic Alex. Your bench is not something that lives in a bubble that you can stay away from. While building it, you're going to expose yourself to some serious inevitable...

@Banana: I like that your Q.R. vice is heavy. That will mean the fixed version will be heavy too; most listed specifications are identical for both.

Thank you verawood and Chief Tiff for your posts; both your experiences have been very useful to me and have tipped the scales for my choices. I've read elsewhere, that the quick release vice, has...

Timbecon has got some some Baladonia Vices on sale at the moment. I'm considering purchasing one or more of the following: their shoulder vice, their quick release front vice and/or their tail vice....

Think of it as a Conan The Barbarian scenario: giving a child a very heavy guitar, is like making him work a large mill (called the Wheel Of Pain) so he becomes a large muscular man. In his 30's,...

Axminster is not Luban - that much I am sure of. I do not own any Axminster products, but from the brief research I've done in the past, I don't consider them to be in the same standard as Luban. I...

I too have ordered items from Fine Tools Australia (in 2018) and some items were delivered and some items were not. Jason became very difficult to contact after this and it took over 2 months to get...
