    Chisel Buying Advice

    Shnapps95 your old chisels may have been better quality, I was referring to new ones which are as I described. 🙂

    Worry about kitchen cabinet weight

    Short answer no. I`ve been fitting kitchens for nearly forty years and never once has one of those brackets failed, now I`ve tempted fate. :)

    Chisel Buying Advice

    The two brands you mention are probably amongst the worst you can buy, they will hinder you with their massively thick edges and poor quality steel. I can recommend the Ashley Isles bevel edge chisels, really fine edges and good quality steel and the Robert Sorby bevel edge chisels, again, fine...

    Marples No2200 square restoration questions

    The thing is Richard I rarely if ever use a traditional carpenters square these days, I prefer engineers squares which are guaranteed accurate inside and out, at least the ones I buy are. What I find odd is that a person who has taught students over the years seems to have failed to acknowledge...

    Dogmatic as usual Jacob😂 and you got a sharpening dig in as well, brilliant, you never let me me down🤣 Another thing I was taught Jacob ( I was not ill advised) was to put your knife on or in the mark first and then move your square to it, you then don't need to see the line. I don't have a...

    Marples No2200 square restoration questions

    I've subsequently worked with people who have used the outside edges but always considered it poor practice, I'm not sure my teaching was unusual, just correct 😄. The other thing to remember is that when using college squares which weren't always treated with respect by everyone, it was a safer...

    Marples No2200 square restoration questions

    I guess it boils down to who you were taught by, although my tutors throughout were consistent. At school in wood work classes I was told to only use the inside "guaranteed" faces/edges, when I left school, working with my brother and other carpenters the same rule applied and finally at college...

    Wow, even the great (no sarcasm, I genuinely hold you in high regard) Richard Jones advocates using the outside faces (or edges, your choice) of a traditional carpenters square. Oh well :)

    Needing a new plane iron for a 5 1/2

    Yes I did, there was nothing wrong with it really, I just did the usual flattening and honing of it as per David Charlesworth's recommendation.

    Needing a new plane iron for a 5 1/2

    I recently purchased a Hock blade and a Ray Isles blade for my Record 4 1/2 smoother to compare them. For me the Ray Isles blade produced a sharper cutting edge which lasted about the same length of time as the Hock blade, the Isles blade was also a bit cheaper than the Hock, both fitted the...
