My most sincere apologies Funky, how could I be so absent minded? If you need any Accounting or Business advice you are most welcome to give me a yell and I would be glad to help if I can.

My Titans hold a very nice edge, and I've been bangin' away on some very seasoned gum of some sort that was joists and bearers under someones home for 60 years.
The Titans are good value, but all...

As long as he's not underwater!

Read, Mike connor. Michael O'connor played for Manly, Doh!

Don't forget a block plane.

And he really is a nice guy to boot.
Seriously though, hold his chisels and tell me you would rather someone elses. Ahh blah blah blah I'm repeating myself. It's all been said before. We truly have...

Yeah, what he said. I got some damn fine results whan I was doing scary sharp, but it ended up being messy and not so cheap when you consider all the wet and dry you'll be buying. The king stones are...

Bells hardware in Blakehurst have a stack of old screws and nails they can sell in paper bags. I even bought an old Yankee screwdriver from them last year. Alas they are a dying breed.

You want it held by convicts? Bring it to me, I have a few clients like that.

I'll second that. Javali makes a good point about the Wooden Jack but I tend to use my 5's and 6 for roughing.
Chris Schwartz has a totally different interpretation of the Scrub Plane and it's...

Point Taken. A Mike Wenzloff saw may be on the cards for me soon, I hope. And I'm sure when you received them you were like a Pig in Mud, much like I was Yesterday.

Bit nasty there Ian. I'm sure anyone buying LN or H&S is not buying their first set of chisels and the purchase is not holding up any projects. Chisels of this calibre are Bespoke and if they were...

Trent is from "Harold and Saxon" fame. http://www.haroldandsaxon.com/about_us.html

And whilst there are some people out holding on to O1 steel for the edge you can acheive, that has not been my...

Tiger Myrtle they are, and very nice Tiger Myrtle at that. And let me add, no honing required. The backs are polished and they'll shave your hair straight out of the box.

Ring me next time you want tickets to a Roosters match, I usually have extra tickets.

I hear yours is a special order Sinjin, can't wait for the photos.

Did you notice the 1/8th, very special.

I spoke to Trent Powrie this afternoon and he said if you give him a ring he should be able to knock up something for you from M2 or D2 steel.

I need to get them home first. But yes I will use them.

You can come and have a look but as Souths did a number on the Roosters this weekend I'm already in a bad mood and I'm ready to fight for them:oo:

17,000 views, this thread is legendary.

Is it the pigsticker on the right as its only function is morticing?

Lets see,

The Terry Gordon Jack Plane $225.00 No tuning needed, blade may need honing. 20 minutes on the stone.
Lie Nielsen #5 $595.00 very little tuning needed, blade will need some honing....

Oh thank you Sooo much Kman. I pulled out my little ozito multi tool and saved many hours of needless flattening. I thought of this before but I was too sacred to say it out aloud.

I believe "Tools For Workingwood" carry the bits.

As do Lee Valley,...

The machinist's level is the only one that cannot be used vertically?

Congratualtions ChrisVesper. Cristophers Schwartz review of your sliding bevels must ba a very proud occasion for you. For Mr Schwartz to refer to your sliding bevels as the best he has used is a...

Is it the Machinist's level as it is the only one that can be recalibrated?

The rear of the lever on the third cap is cast differently, but I'm sure someone has already mentioned this.

Name calling is what I would expect from you.

Wrong again, they quote up to 75ml on their website http://www.haroldandsaxon.com/product_range.htm

I don't know if there would be a nicer person than Trent Powrie in this industry and I'm damn...

Your right about honing old tools, you can get them to a very satisfying, workable state. In fact just about all my 4's and 4 1/2's are Stanleys or Popes or Turners. But pick up my LN 4 1/2 and the...

If your'e going to give an opinion back it up with facts not misinformation Wouldwood. You said H&S use A2, they don't. You said they only go up to 32 ml but they go up to 75ml and more if you want....

Here, let me give you a hand ole' fella

Happy Birthday SG. I think of you every time I use my Bedrock #8

Let's put all into perspective. LN USA should refer you to LN Australia. LN Australia sell their chisels for $104.00 each. I don't know if they charge freight. They use A2 steel and have Hornbeam...

I don't mind waiting for my next set. There is no comparison with the LN chisels, the H&S are far superior steel (no A2 in the range) and as a bonus Trent is an aussie and I'm happy to support our...

I've just had a flashback to the eighties when we would contemplate hidden universes in our fingernails. What was the brand of cigarettes we used smoke back then?

No comparison, Harold & Saxon, better steel better quality finish and locally made. If you are near me in Sydney, I would be happy to show off my H&S set to you so you can understand the quality of...

I like it anyhow.

The Bench is home made?

Ditto!

Oh God Yes, your right, please please have a turn and get this thread moving again.

Hi WM. I'm currently building my bench and rather than laminating hardwood for my top I cheated a little and went to a tradesmans hardware store and ordered a laminated beam in Tassie Oak to my...

It's cool WB, I should have been a bit more obvious with my sarcasm. I love planes and I intend to keep buying more for my workshop. I may have to move to Telegraph Point for a little while, it seems...

My comment was tongue in cheek Wood Borer. I am not a collector I use all my planes but one, a Bronze Manganese LN mitre plane. The problems is I have so many that by the time I come around to using...

Define "use".

[quote=Wood Borer;895170]If you are considering buying some planes, don't feel that you need to buy one of every type/size.:oo: quote]

Heretic!

WM, listen to SG and take up Dereks offer. I went for all the new expensive brands as well and now I know I could have made better decisions in some cases. Try out Dereks tools because there is no...

I agree with the hairdryer, should soften up the adhesives and then peel off relatively easy. Maybe!
