Reading your’s and AJB Temple’s comments makes me chuckle as these are all things I hear her say regularly. As for the block, she tells me it could be wider. . .

Thanks all. The chopping board is really straight forward. If it goes a bit wonky in the clamps just tap it into place and/or clamp some scrap across the top and sides. You will need to sharpen you plane iron to prevent tear out when finishing. I did use a router for the finger handles. But yer...

It does have two braces at the bottom (front and back) you can only see the front brace in the picture. But you are right. Some v. basic bench dogs do a decent job of keep it still. I think I actually enjoy slowly building the workshop as much as making stuff.

Well, this is terrifying. The central reasons for my posting this is for my own self-creative confidence and to make some small contribution to the newbie community. I also wanted to see if I could do it without self-deprecation or warnings to how crude it is (guess I’ve just done it). Anyway...

Will be coming round Carlisle off the M6

Fantastic. M6 or A1 depending. Are you happy to show they are both running etc?

I can’t send you a PM as I’m a new member. I’m happy to give you £350. Id pay 400 if wasn’t for the distance. could collect Monday. Thanks Mike.

Sorry for the slow reply, I’m humming and aring over the pick up distance as I’m in Bedford. Do you have a picture of the spec plate? I had a quick look and couldn’t find the specs online. Mike

Hi John, is this still available?
