    Cast iron hinges.

    Hi Mark, I bought some from Ironmongery Direct to replace all the 25 year old brass hinges in my parents house. The finish and action of them just seemed rough/sloppy so they went back. Nothing like the Baldwin ones. John

    Bahco combination squares?

    Nothing like the yellow/black stanley ones (which are complete poo). Heavier, better machining, clearer graduations and just general better!

    Table Cracking up

    Bread board end joint in pictures. You can see how the middle peg is tight and the two end one are elongated to allow movement across the grain. Hope this helps JH

    Flattening, polishing and friction.

    Grinding on the side of the wheel is bad news. Unless the wheel is designed for it, which very few are. If you really want a flat grind- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Viceroy-Sharp ... 20c88fc357 Clocked a good few hours on one of those, messy bloody horrible thing... JH
