I've really enjoyed watching you put this together. A beautiful clock.

Thanks,

Mick.

For the BLO on tool/axe handles.

My dad taught me to apply it,

once a day for a week,
once a week for a month,
once a month for a year,
then once a year after that.

It's always worked...

I'll take this thanks.

Mick.

Those toasters are great!

Mick.

I think this may be the answer for me. :D

Mick.

I really, REALLY, like the look of your shed.

I like the way you have all your tools very close to hand. Mine are all over the place and I'm always wandering off to find something. I think I need...

I don't think they're too expensive. They sell for more than that on ebay. I'd buy them except I've a set of my own. :)

Mick.

When I was a kid I used to wander round with my friends in our small country town carrying air rifles or a .22 and no one raised an eyebrow. Now the tactical police would arrive I guess.

I've got a set of Titan (made in Tasmania) scotch pattern bits. They do have spurs but they are above the lip unlike the jennings style ones. Make sure you sharpen the INSIDE of the spurs not the...

I'm after a Falcon curved bottom spokeshave. I'm hoping someone has a spare somewhere.

Thanks,

Head to bunnings and get a small thick glass shelf. (Very flat). A few sheets of wet and dry and you can sharpen your chisels and plane blades. Depending on how rough your tools are to start with...

Hi Tom,

I'll take this please,

Mick.

Some very nice tools. I understand if you get an offer for the lot but if you part the set out I'd like to take -

3/5 $33

7/6 $35

9/5 $35

11/5 $36

A couple of crypto stories.

I was in Bangkok and needed some new sunglasses. Went into an eyeglass shop and on the door it said "Bitcoin accepted here." I did a bit of a doubletake as I'd been...

I'll take this please.

PM on the way.

Mick.

I'll take it please.

Hi Michael,

I like the way you put together your storage under the bench. That will last a long long time. I like making shed fittings in my shed. Not to the standard of a piece of furniture, just...

That is fantastic. You are very clever. Any chance of a video of it working?

Mick.

This is a great video of how to restore and setup a Stanley number 4 by a well known hand tool woodworker.

Lots of great tips to get you...

They are a lovely tree. There are are still quite a few old ones around where I live but they are normally in VERY inaccessible spots which explains why they were never harvested I guess. They really...

I'll take them all please.

Mick.

I'll take them all please.

Mick.

Hi Maurice, glad the other blokes are happy with their deals. :)

I'd like the rest of the chisels please.

PM me your bank details and I'll reply with my mail address.

Thanks very much matey,...

I realise others are after individual items but if you want to sell them as a complete set including the strop I'll take them all at the new price.

Mick.

Lovely job. The tote and knob look spectacular.

It's always good to see an old tool back in service.

Mick.

Wow! Just WOW!

That last photo!!!!!

You are a lucky lucky duck matey. Congratulations.

Mick.

It took me a few years to put together a complete set of auger bits (in 16ths of an inch increments). Most of mine I picked up on ebay one at a time but some I bought from The Old Toolshop in...

I'll take the books please. Group 8. Thanks.

Mick.

Hello Chief,

I'm 56 and have been very shortsighted since I was about 14. It got to the point where if I didn't put my glasses in their usual place I had no chance of finding them. Used to have to...

That's a shame. :(

Thanks anyway,

Mick.

I'll take it please.

I'll pm you my address and transfer funds if you can send me your bank details.

Thanks VERY much.

Mick.

Thanks so much for all the input. It is much appreciated.

Graeme, I did think it was strange that the doors all appear to be hung to swing into the rooms rather than towards the wall. Thanks for...

Thanks matey. Your first sentence answered my main problem. Should I try and rematch them to their original door frames? Half of them are up stairs so I was kinda hoping to avoid carting them all up...

I've recently bought an old house. Built in 1883. It has large handmade cedar 4 panel doors. 2100mm x 910mm. There were 8 missing around the house but I've found seven in the old shed out the back....

I know a bloke with bad arthritis who still enjoys his time in his workshop. Like BoBL described with his sister my mates tools are all covered with plumbers lagging foam. It looks kind of funny but...

Vern that's absolutely fantastic!

Mick.

Love the small ships and the powerboats. You can never have too many toys.

Mick.

Hi. I'll take the micrometer and the 150mm vernier calipers please. I'll send you a PM tomorrow.

Thanks,

Mick.

Two channels I like. Both are hand tool woodworkers.

Adrian Preda makes very nice japanese inspired work in a tiny workshop.

Tom Fidgen is a real craftsman. Amazingly beautiful...

I'll take it please. I'll send you a pm.

Mick.

That's great!

Try using a little dab of peanut butter as the bait instead of cheese. When they come for the last little bit... bang!

Good luck.

Mick.

I'd like one if I'm not too late.

Thanks,

Mick.

I realise this is probably sold but if it's not, I'll take it. :)

Thumbthumper... a lovely job and a truly nice piece of furniture... well done.

Very nice matey.

I don't think I'll ever have a plane with it's box. I buy mine off ebay and the box seems to blow the price WAY out. :o

Hello,

a few weekends ago I bought this table from a junk shop for $65. What caught my eye was the lovely turning on the legs. It was terribly ugly otherwise... a masonite top and the whole thing...
