A bit of a red letter day as I got the October issue of PWW and the Woodworking Magazine book. Cost of the book was $30 - no shipping charge on the invoice, can't say they don't honour their offer. So that book took about 4 weeks to ship, interestingly enough there is a Royal Mail 2nd class...

Has anyone received the November issue or the December issue? Also Byron have you had that book yet?

David, I saw you got the "rough end of the pineapple" in that discussion - very rude. There is a big difference between vigorous debate and being obnoxious. I hope that doesn't put you off posting on other forums and, even though I was not involved in that discussion (too bloody...

Byron had a response re PWW and they are going to send the Oct 2007 and they are extending my subscription by a month so can't say they aren't trying. With respect to the book I was told to ring (USA) 1-715 445 4612 and ask for the 'Consumer Department' -they were unsure what this was- and got a...

Byron, I contacted them through the PWW website... Customer service, How can I contact them (FAQ) , missed issue etcetera. I have had an automatic confirmation of them receiving the enquiry. Did it on Saturday so wasn't expecting anything just yet. I had the same feeling re shipping - not...

For reference I have just received the August 2007 of PWW in the post. They had already sent it to me via airmail fairly quickly after I notified them of not having it. Wonder what the problem is? PS anyone missing this one if you contact me I will post it to you- no point in having two. OK its...

excellent one Stu. Watched your posts on building that bandsaw and was impressed. Thought you showed too much common sense to be a septic (Yank). Hey what happened about those trees you were waiting on the developer to fell? I must have missed your post.

Sod, sod sod! I had a problem with the August issue of PW that was only resolved when I e-mailed them but I thought it was a one off. Still waiting for Octobers issue. I ordered that book on the 31st of August and assumed that it would be sent surface mail so was going to wait 5-6weeks. I...

Hammer price £740 - about £850 with commission and VAT

Just had a look at this one- there is still there factory wax on the base untouched and the 3 blades still have the factory grind marks with only the one in the plane showing any signs of sharpening but the most of the grind marks are still present on the bevel. All the blades are marked...

I said to the Auctioneer that I thought it would go for £1000. Being an evil pipper I thought I would post it on a couple of sites and see how high it would go :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Here you go this is up for auction at Lawrences, Bletchingley - its item 61 going Tuesday 11th Sept. By the way there are 2 unused blades with it as well. www.lawrencesbletchingley.co.uk [/url]

I hope that is the case Wolfgang. There is a site that has defunct sites cached but I have forgotten its' address. Lets wait and see first. Thanks for the replies guys.

Am I being a dollop as usual or is anyone else having problems getting onto the Disston Institute site?

Hello, Have a look at Derek Cohen's article at www.wkfinetools.com on re-handling an oval bolstered mortice chisel. Look under the "restoring fine tools" tab. Hope this helps.
