    Just popped in to say hello...

    Hi Olly, Now there is a question... I have all the material to complete that series but I fear that MHS (The publishers) would rather recycle old stuff (which is free) than pay for new material. I was, and still am, freelance, if there is a publisher out there that wants to use it PM me...

    Just popped in to say hello...

    It seemed better to stay away from the UK forums as The Woodworker has its own forum and I did not want post on that one either. Ralph :wink:

    Just popped in to say hello...

    Hi Baz, I do say goodbye in my last editorial - it is in the June issue.... Nobody new is coming on-board, Mike Lawrence is going to do the editor's job as well as the production... BTW... Thank you for the welcomes but I feel a bit of a fraud. I am not new here, it is just that work has kept...

    Just popped in to say hello...

    Having just completed a spell as editor of The Woodworker I have recently decided to hit the road and venture to pastures new. So while I was passing I though I would pop in and say hello. I will still contribute to the woodworking press here in the UK but I am going to explore some of my other...

    Moving advice please. (Workshop)

    Hi Gary, There are two things to consider here loss and damage. In theory you should be able to show the movers what you want to move, let them pack it all up and move it while you enjoy a restful and worry free experience... well that what is says in the adverts. I am not sure that any of us...

    British woodworking - first impressions

    Nick, Having sat in the seat and done the time I know how hard it is. The magazines I edited were printed in Cornwall and even after overnight drives to check proofs I can still remember picking up copies in WHS a week or so later and seeing literals on the first page I looked at.... I haven't...

    My, how the membership has grown!

    Neil, I was never part of any 'take-over' I am freelance that way my opinions are my own and if I don't like something I say so. The problem is that more often than not it does not get published for fear of upsetting someone. I have written for several publishers both here in the UK and in...

    Any views on the Joint Genie?

    I know this is a bit late but I have only just got back to posting here. I have been using the Joint-Genie for a couple of years now and I must say that I love it. I was one of the people who hated using dowels until was shown a huge block of timber with 49 dowels in it that fitted into 49...

    scary sharp sharpening and flattening

    You will probably find that the sole of the plane is not flat so flattening it will improve it. On a small plane it should be possible to get it reasonably flat without too much work. Don't go too mad though, if there is a shallow area in the centre it may not be worth the effort required to...

    Securing Stud Bolts in Wood.

    If the fixings are good quality Stainless Steel the staining should not be a problem. I think I would use threaded rod and an epoxy fixing as used for chemical fixings into masonry walls. Screwfix and others sell the stuff in DIY quantities or you can get it in cartridges. However the shelf...

    My, how the membership has grown!

    Hi all, Last time I was here (December 2002) it was a bit quiet ... Now some four and a half years later you have increased the membership and seem to have a good feeling going on. I think will be sticking around for a bit. It's good to see that Nick (Gibbs) has picked up the ashes of one of...
