Plane Makers...something to float yer boat??

[Harbo]

Be careful of potter's kilns - they are quite large for tool making and consume an awful lot of power!
I thought about borrowing a friend's one until they warned me about how much each "burn" costs and only really economic if you fill it up with stuff?

Indeed Rod...I think like other appliances...they are getting more efficient but they are still power thirsty.

This little one runs about 1kW so not too bad for a short run....but I could do with a deeper one.

Cheers

I see that Jim's international reputation is spreading again...http://wkfinetools.com/contrib/HendricksJ/floats/floatMaking-01.asp

What's next? A blog at a woodwork magazine? :-"
A pay-per-view scheme for the hand tools forum? :lol:

Maybe not that second one, but it's good to see talent getting out and about again. Well done Jim.

Excellent work amigo mio , AGAIN. Thoroughly enjoyed all aspects vicariously from my puter / escape machine. As always my respect just keeps swelling for the craftsmanship (and cool bootfair toys) on display . . . Bravo!
