I used the Alex Snodgrass method also, but fortunately 2 of my ordered blades arrived before Aldi. I fitted a 1/4" tuff saw premium, only played with short lengths but seems very accurate. It will be good to try a 3/8" or even a !/2" if possible.

received the delivery estimate this morning, between 12.04pm - 2.04pm, arrived today at 2.03pm. will get cracking on this in the morning

thanks for the heads up

update. I have 2 dovetails and 2 tenons, fortunately one of each is relatively sharp, good enough for my trial cuts. I have cleaned them up and applied a machine wax. The handles need some future works, one of them the handle is loose. I also found some old saw files, including a couple of...

thanks, I can see where you are coming from. I have commenced cleaning them up and will send to a saw doctor when I locate one.

It has been a long time since I have cut dovetails, possibly other than the very odd one here and there some 50 years ago. I still own a couple of my original saws, both blunt and not sure where to get them sharpened locally anymore, my eyesight not up to it now. What is my best way forward...

Thanks all, now resolved.

My nephew has asked me to source above. He is not loaded and not expecting Makita/etc, please advise.

I believe it is. Another over modded deck is the LP12 and one of the main reason for these mods is to eliminate rumble. Most audio quality t/t's these days are rumble free, and as audiophiles have a habit of box swapping equipment, they are often for sale secondhand/used.

Yes.

The first thing I fail to understand is why play a record when the source is analogue and the video is digital, sort of negates it all really. The second is why a Garrod 301 that has been modded to death. If you are into vinyl replay surely just buy a modern t/t with the best cartridge you can...

they are making timepieces?
