    What woodworking did you do today?

    Took delivery of an English no. 4.5 with a very tight mouth, looking forward to taking it for a spin.

    Stanley no.4 with new plastic handles

    The label hanging on the lever cap made me laugh. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STANLEY-BAIL ... SwQgxfJwk4 It's not mine, so hopefully not against the rules. Poor thing has spent its entire life boxed and hardly seen a bit of wood. Late 70's ?

    Record No.18 Knuckle Joint Block Plane

    This might fit 42mm and only £8.40 https://www.workshopheaven.com/footprin ... -42mm.html The hole in the centre is just a hair under the size required for the older Stanley and Record models with a ten groove adjustment mechanism, nothing a little judicious filing won't sort out. Or pay £15...

    Security support for Windows 7 is ending January 14, 2020.

    Thanks you've talked me out of doing nothing. Had a look on a certain auction site and found windows 10 very cheaply, seems a bit fishy but some have sold thousands of copies so must be legit ? Also mentioned above, buy a new machine with windows 10, never liked laptops but plenty of refurbed...

    Security support for Windows 7 is ending January 14, 2020.

    After 10 years, support for Windows 7 is coming to an end. The two best things you can do to prepare for the transition are, back up your files, and then get ready for what’s next. We have tools to help you with both. Is this an issue ? Not looking to upgrade, any advice ?

    GOT and other TV series

    Netflix Special Watched the Irishman last night, good not great and an hour too long. CGI didn't grate maybe thanks to my small screen. Watched all three seasons of the Crown recently, 3rd season a bit disapointing might be the cast but the Aberfan episode was a stand out and the wiki page is...

    Axminster 5 1/2 plane issues?

    Is the hole on the chip breaker/ cap iron very big ? Remove the lever cap and watch it in action.

    New Plane maker G.Forrest

    Think he's a bit of a perfectionist, he does small prototypes first and then a superior finished version. Wording from the Scottish mitre at the top of this page Me 30th July 2019 Why all the secrecy ? If you had an instagram account you would have a few thousand followers easy and more...

    Woden no 5 Jack Plane

    I'd attack the paintwork with a squirt of wd40 and an old toothbrush. You are also missing the lateral adjuster from the frog. Good Luck Edit: I'd be patient and watch ebay for a broken no.5 woden. Number 4 parts will also fit a no.5 except the rear handle which has an extra screw on the...

    Well done that man, Rome wasn't built in a day, practice makes perfect etc.... Does it work ? Yes it does "Cuts very nicely" onwards and upwards. Ask him for just the adjuster ? Nothing to lose.
