All sold. Thanks everyone!

I've recently discovered Japanese pull saws and I'm enjoying them so much I've decided to try and give these bespoke made saws a new home.

There is a 20 inch 8 TPI panel saw, a 17 inch 8 TPI tenon...

Prices now include postage and next best offer is also an option.

Money is tight at the moment... enough said.

Yes! Give the yanks a choice between metric and measuring things in terms of how many washing machines long it is, and you know what they're going to choose! :rotfl:

The yanks seem to hang onto things even when newer or better designs are available. Must be their Puritan genes!

You'd probably have to drill out a starter pocket with a forstner bit. Or chop out a starting hole with a mortise chisel or something. Or just use a plunge router.

One thing I constantly see in magazines and in youtube videos are 2-2.5HP routers with fixed bases like the one shown below:

I have never seen anything like this in Australia, and I...

I don't know who stole whose design, but I know they shouldn't have done it! :D

I found this on youtube while researching push sticks - even if you don't use the design shown in the video, it's a great tutorial on how to make and use templates on a router table.

Thanks!

There are a lot of different designs for push sticks and push blocks out there.

What do you prefer to use? And are there really any advantages or disadvantages to any particular design?

Any...

I've seen benches like that at my local mens shed. It works, but whether or not it's the best idea depends on how you intend to use it. If you like hammering on things (eg chopping mortises by hand)...

It's not the best quality, but it is very useful information! I plan to use this when dust-proofing my contractors table saw.

Sounds like there's a reason why most (nearly all?) traditional workbenches have the tool well! I think I'll make me new workbench with one!

And a good point on this possibly being a chair makers...

SOLD! Send me a DM and we'll get things sorted.

Edit: When the sale goes through, how do you change the prefix of the thread to SOLD? Or do you just put that in the title?

What was the reason for bolting the top together as opposed to gluing it together? Or did you do both?

Here's the only other one I could find: MDF – Australian Timbers
No idea how their prices compare to the others you mentioned, but three options is better than two.

I'm a regular at the local Men's Shed! I know all about grumpy old farts! Hell, I'll be a grumpy old fart one of these days!

This is one unusual end vise! It has been speculated by Chris Schwarz that the end vice could have been used to pinch wide boards between the small dogs for face planing.

I read your reply after I posted a thread for the saw. My bad! Oh well. I can stay there for now; unless it would be better that I remove it for now.

I upgraded to a contractors table saw recently, so it's time for my old Dewalt to find a new home. It's dusty and the top has some marks on it from my old Incra crosscut sled, but is otherwise in...

Surprisingly, the primary bevel is at 20 degrees and the secondary bevel is at 30 degrees. That said, the 20 degree angle allows you to go really deep in a hurry. And the as the chisel's blade is...

Another newbie reporting in! I'm in the process of setting up my workshop, and have made several cutting boards and the like to sell at a craft fair at some point in the future.

I also have a few...
