I have recently acquired some wooden moulding planes. All seem to be in reasonable condition, but they are pretty grotty as regards the dirt and grime they seem to be embedded with. I believe that a good cleaner and conditioner for the wood would be an equal parts mix of: Boiled Linseed Oil...

Ah...I reckon that those socks are so expensive that it would take at least 3 Kashmir goats to make them...providing they can knit of course :)

I use an MFT top on a couple of trestles and I also have a couple of BD items (which I like). I find this item to be very interesting and I shall sit on the fence (not a BD one) to watch developments. Who knows...this could develop into a Christmas present...(make a change from socks).

Getting old is certainly not for wimps.

Do both...card has 2 sides.

Hmmm...paws for thort Yore all a PITA...makin somethink outa nothink...

Interesting comment by Phill05. I'm a 'conventional' man, but always open to new ideas. At the end of any session with my bandsaw I have always released the tension. Re-applying tension has never been a problem (touch wood...I like touching wood (UK not USA style)). 'Any road up' my bandsaw is a...

I know I will get some socks at Christmas. Don't want to just leave it 'open' this year (may get some 'themed' socks for goodness sake!!). Need to drop some hints as to which socks would at least produce a genuine smile of appreciation. Socks that would keep my feet toasty in the workshop would...

Bought from Banggood...no complaints, but I have been selective in what I bought (used the recommendations from 'Hooked on Wood' - not all of them of course! His You tube vids are worth a look). Price differences are quite remarkable and the quality of what I've bought so far has been very good...

Seems to me (so far), that it's all a bit of a balancing act. Right amount of ventilation, correct warmth with humidity controlled to a comfortable range...ah...pricing comes into this combination of variables too of course... Variables plus Internet...I may be some time...

Thanks for that Sideways...my garage door is also an up 'n' over, so I will do as you've done and get a brush type draft excluder (will need to apply it to the entrance door too). So...desiccant humidifier here I come...just need to check out what's available via the Internet... (the Internet...

Thanks Fitzroy...I see you're from the frozen North so I'm guessing you know a lot about chilly drafts!:) Seems to be a reasonable starting point to minimise drafts (I feel another Internet search developing for me...). However, as Ollie has pointed out, assuming I get the garage 'acceptably'...

It seems to me that every time I look into purchasing virtually anything to do with my hobby, my search sends me spiraling into the spiders web of Internet distractions and asides. Some of these distractions are really interesting and I frequently discover many things that I knew nothing about...

[email protected]@dy amateurs...all of us pros know that you never force a joint...you just use a bigger hammer :)

My OH and I watch all of these type shows...it passes as 'light entertainment' for us. Normally we get a 'Series link' to programmes we enjoy and watch them at our leisure. So, if it's baking, ceramics, woodwork, sewing, metalwork etc etc we dip in and out at a time that suits us. One thing...

I'll watch it - I have an interest in these type of programmes. 'Money for Nothing', 'Find it, Fix it, Flog it', 'The Salvager' (that's a blast from the past) as well as the similar ones from the USA. It's because of these programmes that I've learned self control, how to breathe properly, how...

Ah well...I've managed without a stabilizer for some time now...:)...so I guess I'll just soldier on regardless. Cheers, Michael

I've had a response from RP re my query as to which Carter Stabilizer would fit my bandsaw...i.e. ' I have a Record Power RP350 Sabre 14" bandsaw (very nice it is too!). I would like to fit a Carter Stabilizer for the times I make bandsaw boxes. Have you any idea of which Carter Stabilizer would...

Ah...pgrbff...that engineer was really helpful then...having the drawings with measurements would be invaluable in identifying the correct Carter Stabilizer for all of those bandsaws that are not on their 'official' list. Would be most helpful to this community too. Cheers, Michael

MikeK...thank you for your input. I've sadly gone down the Carter Stabilizer 'rabbit hole' and tbh found the discussion quite interesting (need to get a life I guess). So, I have a 'ticket' into Record Power asking them about the stabilizer...doubt they will respond in a positive way, but I had...
