I'd be interested in this, I've sent you a PM.

I'd be interested in one of these if they're still available, I sent you a private message.

I had a little incident involving a push stick a few days ago. I was cutting a piece of hornbeam to size for a project I'm making using my rage-5s table saw, the first cut went great with no issues and I decided I would run it through again to take the last little bit off, I was standing over...

I live in Coggeshall and have visited Grange Barn, even though I wasn't into woodworking at the time of my visit the scale and craftsmanship is absolutely incredible. If anybody ever finds themselves in the area I would highly recommend paying it a visit, it's really interesting and there's even...

I recently bought that exact part from eBay as I was hoping to fix a Record 220 I have which was missing that part but when I tried them together it didn't work quite right, I think the threads are different on the Record adjusting knob or something. I'd be happy to send you the part if you PM...

I really wish I had bought one but I figured I'd wait to see the general consensus first and now they're all out of stock. Oh well :)

I didn't take them from private land, like I said, it was along a public byway which goes through a forest which you're legally allowed to maintain if there are trees or branches blocking the road. I didn't cut them down either, somebody else did and just left them there at the side of the path...

Hi guys. Sorry if you're sick of wood ID posts but I'm really stumped as to what I've got here. I was driving along an old byway with a friend the other day and noticed a whole load of small / medium sized logs at the side of the road which had been cut down to clear the path. I took some of...

Thank you so much, I had no idea the half nut had to be removed to put tension onto the spring, it seems obvious now I've done it but I was completely stumped. I also found out that the QR handle rotates along the slotted pin it's seated on so after rotating it by applying a lot of force the...

I can't wrap my head around this mechanism at all, it seems like I'm missing something obvious but everything I try is wrong. The flat bar only enters the slot of the quick release lever in two ways, either pointing straight down (or up with the vice upside down) or so far forward it hits the...

Here's a picture of all the parts, I can't see any obvious damage but then again I'm no expert on these things. It seems like I'm just putting them together wrong but I can't make sense of how the bar interacts with the quick release lever and the nut on the spring, like i said, it seems like i...

The flat bar is straight and there doesn't seem to be any damage to the half but. The problem I'm having is to do with the castellated nut in the spring as you put it. I can't figure out which position it's supposed to be in, the lever is either way too far forward which is how it is in my first...

I flipped the plate at the end of the guide bars around and now the vice opens and closes just as it did before, which is perfect. I'm still having the same issues with the quick release though. I think the diagnosis of the lever not disengaging the half nut properly is correct and after looking...
