    Good description of how a handplane works.

    The only problem I have is that I can't stop thinking about "Only Fools and Horses"...... Uncle Albert???

    Simonswerk hinge quality?

    Was put on to simonswerk hinges relatively recently. I'd say the ones I have received are way better value/quality than the competition. Not Brusso quality of course but nowhere, nowhere near the price. I recommend simonswerk to others. I agree that yours are distinctly dodgy and need returning.

    Quangsheng 4 1/2 plane

    Interesting.... I really, really like WSH and I need to buy a 5 1/2 from them (I believe the only UK Quangsheng supplier?) so I think I will ask them to check it over before they send it out. Thanks for sharing.

    Quangsheng 4 1/2 plane

    Just received one of these planes; I've had the Luban block planes which are lovely before but not one of the bigger Quangsheng variety. The sole was almost perfectly flat on receipt - although the back of the blade did take quite a lot of work. Bedrock design made it very easy to adjust the...

    Wanted Mortiser wanted - 1 phase - good quality

    Hi all. I'm looking for a good quality mortising machine - maybe something like a Multico or similar? Must be in good working order and single phase. I could travel but I am in Leeds area so could we say no more than one hour's drive from central Leeds as a limit. Many thanks.

    Why isn't there a reasonably priced eclipse-style honing guide?

    I get so many students at my classes who have tried and failed at home with a new eclipse style guide. They are so badly built that most just won't sharpen even vaguely square. The Veritas side guide (£35 ish) is a lot better but still not as good as I'd expect from Veritas. The Veritas...

    Narex woodturning chisels

    Good evening. As above - has anyone used these chisels. I have for bench joinery and they are great value but no idea if this translates to turning. Thanks in advance. (Also for some reason loads of woodturning chisels (Sorby in particular) seem to be out of stock all over the place??

    Making a Lie-Nielsen Plane (video)

    Lucky enough to have one of these and it has made me look at it (and its price!) in a whole new light. Huge care at every stage Half the video felt like it could have been mid 20th century! I shared the previous concern for the employees' safety - I've never worked anywhere like that though...
