Hi John, Once setup it's quite accurate. You'll never get a perfect finish when ripping as the blade you use for ripping will be a low TPI which naturally leaves a fairly course finish. However, I don't own a planer, and hand-plane all the pieces that come from the bandsaw, and it leaves a...

I'm moving soon so I need to move on my larger pieces of machinery as I won't have a large enough workshop to use it. It costs £159 new. (I paid £189) I've used mine very little and is in virtually brand new condition. Its all fully tuned and setup and comes with two blades. I'll be happy to...

Spoke to my colleague today. I'm still being messed about, so it seems it's a no go I'm afraid chaps. If the status every changes, I'll certainly let you know. Sorry for taking so long over this.

Nothing wrong with the forum. I've been on holiday for the past week, and I'm being mucked about by my colleague who was supposed to be talking to the blacksmith. It will be resolved one way or the other on tuesday.

Sorry chaps, I should have updated this post a few days ago, but been a bit busy. Basically, the blacksmith has been on holiday for a week, each time my contact goes past to drop in he has been closed. However, he has phoned him this week and will be dropping off the holdfast towards the end of...

Woodworking Centre also stock veritas planes if that helps (they do mailorder).

I'm confused with the humour in this thread. I thought everything wore a three-piece while wood-working? Nice pics Jim, if you like old books, then you may like the new re-issue prints from http://www.lostartpress.com/ the books are really nice.

I had the 10" sip and was suitablly impressed, the prices have gone up quite a bit since then so they aren't as good value as they were, but I think you would be happy with either, they are very similarly capable machines.

Don't rule out ebay. There is a chap (who's name at the moment escapes me) who often sells large offcuts. I recently bought two lots of Iroko for a good price and they were excellent. Because of the photo's you can get an accurate idea of what the board looks like which for me is a bonus as my...

I didn't want to continue with this thread, but as you asked a direct question, i'll answer it; Basically yes. There has been no real loss of members since TWH has been setup, most of the members there still post here, as do most of the members at the other place, the ones who I perceive to be...

first of all, don't be so arrogant as to know how I am feeling, and secondly stop inciting more illl feeling with insults, if you don't agree with my points, that's fine, but don't get personal, you are not the person to accuse others of making a fool of themselves. That is my final...

Moose - I decline your offer of 'advice'.

Matt, I honestly can't see that as a reason, the members that have gone to Tom's also still post here, the actual number of migration is very small, less than 5% of UKW. The arguing/bickering has stopped in a small instance, but those members are still here and still posting. The 'future'...

And this concerns you how Moose, if its such a wonderful day, and if we should have a life, why are you taking the time to get involved? Like I've said before, and will say again. My post was in response to a question, then followed a disection and criticism, I'm just defending myself.

I wasn't being negative, I was explaining my reasoning for taking an active role in the forum. Because my view isn't the same as yours, you feel it necessary to have a pop?

Not really, its quite straight-forward. Your view is not unexpected to me, its really quite simple and needs no further elaboration. However, in the spirit of being helpful, I can try and say it differently if that helps: Your view is as I would have expected, or I can see why you would have...

Mike/Studders - read my post again and stop inferring your own thoughts on it. I am not suggesting it should happen over night, I am not complaining that nothing has changed yet, FFS all I am saying is the reason why I am personnaly not as involved in the forum is because nothing has changed YET...

I don't agree, but your view isn't unexpected. And nothing has changed, that is a simple fact, I wasn't complaining about it, just saying that if and when it does change (and going on past performance, it aint going to happen any time soon) then I would take a more active role.

Is it a fact that these Dakota planes are the same as the ones from WH? I seem to remember Matthew saying they weren't? Or am I wrong? Hopefully Matthew can confirm. Also, I think its a nonesense to suggest that you will get a plane that needs tuning if you don't ask for one that doesn't. I'm...
