AFAIK: yes, yes and yes, with regards to your last three qu's

Starrett will do the job, I've dropped mine more times than I can count, and maybe I've just been lucky, but according to my unnecessarily accurate Vesper A+ 10" it's still bang-on...

The block rebate is a lovely little plane, btw...

I used t&g for the bottom of my tool chest and... erm, that's it! I used the attachments for the Veritas small plough, which given the infrequency of use, I judged more worth it than a dedicated...

Prob my low-angle jack (assuming I can have a few blades). Can use it for flattening, jointing, and smoothing if required. It's square enough to use for shooting even without a lateral adjustment...

Yeah, I think it's a distinguishing mark, like leaving scrub-plane scallops, for that "hand-made feel" (TM)

I'd be positively Sleepless with worry.
But that also doesn't sound too far out of the ballpark?

I have the LNs, and the "comfort" aspect doesn't really enter into it for me anyway; ideally you're not using them that much anyway, just to fine-tune occasionally. They don't get a lot of use, but...

Do you only use "Finish" on the extremely hard stones [emoji12] ??

"for comfort"

Welcome! The site not only allows, but encourages...

Plus happy to host, permission from Home Minister pending...
Oh, and the shed itself is as yet theoretical, but should be making a start on it when the weather gets warmer and chippie BIL is...

Weekend BBQ sounds like a great plan. Often don't finish til 2 or so on Sat, but the rest of the day and Sun are my only real possibilities... Tentative In.

Have responded before but will again - don't want to be an anonymous 'view'! I am subscribed to this thread, and follow with interest. I will not be making it as long as it a Monday, and am not mad...

I dunno, *looking* is allowed, sometimes.

Just throwing it out there: my availability is pretty poor anyway, but it's non-existent on a Monday. I'd be really keen to meet some fellow woodies and put some faces to (user)names, but it's not...

I am so sorry for your loss. Friends are the family you choose, and it hurts so terribly badly when they go off on The Great Adventure and leave us here. At least we have our timber, tools, and...

I have only just seen this thread, and read it from first post to last. Firstly, I want to say thank you, for both the bench build progress (always good to see someone taking as long as you with a...

Good work, on all fronts!

Congratulations Christos. I've been absent from the forums (and ww in general really) since my daughter was born (so ~7mths!) and this was a lovely first post to see! Congratulations again. Don't...

Might I strongly recommend "The Etymylogicon" by Mark Forsyth; it's almost a book on the very topic of this post! It's a meandering tour of the labyrinthine and Byzantine connections in the English...

Nice space! And begging to be filled with tools...
Looking forward to the projects!
Feels a bit strange saying 'welcome' when you've been on the forum considerably longer than me, so I'll say...

Oh don't I wish!

Yeah, although not a "proper" doctor - my future in-laws are both GPs, but I always say that there's only one doctor in the family - my fiance, who did a clinical PhD. GPs 'only' have a Bachelor of...

Doesn't it though?
I see what people mean about them being too beautiful to use!
My LN tools are beautiful in a different way; marriage of form and function and all that, they look like...

I feel like cancelling all my patients for the rest of the day, on the basis that I don't have enough patience to wait before trying her out!

Then we're getting into that whole definition of 'need' again!

No, seriously, sometimes the flat back (and side) of a skew makes a difference, registering nicely to help keep the pare under...

But what about opening all those stuck paint cans?:U



In my [extremely limited] experience my needs have been handsomely met by just such a collection.
Oh, and I do have a fishtail chisel,...

"Yeah I know I missed the ceremony, but look at the shape of that handle"!

If you read this oh darling, my beautiful bride-to-be, I'm only (half) joking!

Maybe I was getting excited prematurely, it took three days to get from Portland to San Fran!

Chiselophilia?? Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?

These are the normal handle and long paring handle next to each other. Broadly similar form, although paring appears to be narrower than the norm even given its extra length. Might be a perspective...

Yeah, as far as I know (they look bloody similar!)
I'm in North Melbourne; I'll let you know when it arrives...

... They're standup guys. I've only been in there once, and didn't even really have an idea what I was looking for, let alone a cutlist! I had a vague idea of making some chopping boards, and they...

Hell, depending on where you are in Melbourne, you could come over and get a proper look at it!

Unless you're in a hurry. I'm getting married in two weeks and the only ww-related stuff I'm doing...

The bench chisels are resin-impregnated, while I believe the DT paring chisels and long paring chisels are not, on the basis that you won't be hitting them with a mallet. I seem to recall Derek...

As a New Australian and Woodworker, I attended the show for the first time. Having no previous instances to compare it to, I was very favourably impressed.
For me, it meant seeing and handling...

I still manage to do that all the time! Really even downwards pressure is required across the width of the iron, and it helps if you make sure your [thumbs, or whatever you use to drive the jig...

Also on topic, the word that always strikes me as having changed meaning most in a relatively short space of time is 'gay'.
Only forty or fifty years ago your parents would have been extremely happy...

The origins in Portuguese would indeed be the same as in English, given that it is a cognate Indo-European language, and both derive much from Latin (and, interestingly, Sanskrit).
'Vagus' mean...

Yah, I just got excited when I saw the N Melb bit, worked it out pretty quickly after my initial enthusiasm dampened, but thought you never know...!

I myself prop up the bar fairly frequently :;

In all seriousness, that's why we're all here, no?

There's a couple of 'superior poms' already, and even (As crowie mentioned) a few of us who were lured over here by the promise of actually getting a summer from time to time (but I mistakenly moved...

Welcome!
Red gum slabs, sound awesome; be sure to post plenty of WIP photos!
Take care

What crowie said :;

Enjoy, and welcome...

Welcome! You will most certainly get good help and advice, more likely more than you can process! Seriously knowledgeable bunch of folks here, and more than generous with their time and knowledge....

Welcome!
I have no doubt that you will find a wealth of relevant information, and there are quite a few regular contributors in the Perth area who will be able to help you with e.g. sourcing...

What (overcrowded) shop do you currently work out of? I'm in N Melb and interested in meeting other ww, even if workshop spaces are hard to come by? I am a by-default Darksider, as I have neither...

Lots of nice sun? Have you noticed I'm in Victoria?? :U

I'll give it a shot...
