Thanks Vann. As I can see your frogs are just like mine. I think one day I wiil polish it. Even if the plane works well. Hope that Flinn will improve the Clifton standard. A good product deserves that kind of care! green. Obviously!

thank you Duncan. It seems better than mine. Almost polished

@chesirechappie. The surface is machined and has (as normal) the tool's scratches. But, as I wrote, the plane works well. You can download the complete review's pdf on this facebook page https://www.facebook.com/cliftonplanes?fref=ts The frog is flat but I promised an answer to my readers (the...

Yes Matt, the comparison with Veritas, Lie Nielsen and Woodriver is not good fort that Clifton Frog. @ Cornel: I recognize rough cast iron and milled surfaces but I wonder if that was a real choice or a minor production mistake. I never had slipping problems with fully polished frogs. As...

Hi everybody! I had a clifton plane N° 4 from Clico in august 2014 on which I wrote a review on my magazine for italian woodworkers. I found that the upper side of the frog is poorly finished while the other one face is nearly mirror polished. Yes, the plane works well but I'd like to know if...

Hi everybody! After a couple of years (or more) far from this forum I'm back. In the last two years I did a lot of things. I founded a woodworking school and I've become the publisher of Legnolab. The italian woodworking magazine I worked for in the last 6 years. I'd like to share the first...

thankyou everybody friends. It's a pleasure to see your works and to share mine! Corset, I made four articles about the table, from september to january, and a DVD too. Unfortunately the web site of the review (look for legnolab) is still in his basic version. Maybe one day the editor will...

Ciao a tutti! I was very busy in the last year so I had less time to visit this forum. One of the causes of my being away was the construction of a Louis XV stile table that I made for LegnoLab a new italian review about wood in which I work with some very skilled friends. Here a short version...

A little experiment with my little lathe. No translation is needed follow the pictures from the bottom! http://forum.il-legno.it/viewtopic.php? ... ce#p238380 bye!

than you all friends. The problem, with italian companies is the weight. They ask 130 euros for one hundred kilos. I think the lathe is about 250. I'll try with english ones. bnye

The seller of the lathe in the link will kindly disassemble and prepare it for the shipping on a pallet. Does anyone know a cheap and safe shipping company? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... PIC&ih=003 thanks giacomo
