I know I'm getting away a bit from the original topic of this thread but was just surmising a couple of things with ref to "progress" on tool development. Two successful woodworkers; one is highly skilled at using hand tools with little knowledge of power tools, the second is highly skilled in...

Using the proper blade, top priority! Cheers

Only kidding lads and lassies, I'm not going to start all over again. Rather like the most of you even I am getting p_ssed of with the last thread now, (sorry 9fingers the way I worded that may seem I meant your post I actually meant the whole thread) I learned a lot though and hope the comments...
