Hallo Waka, I can only underline you statement. Klaus and Pedder manufacture wonderful saws. Klaus understands how to treat a handle to fit your hand and Pedder is very skilful saw sharpener. Together they form a marvellous team. I do not wish to highjack your treath but when I got my last...

Marc, for jobs like this I have prepared some sqare plywood sheets. Three or four of them fixed in the frame should take care that everything is parallel. I would not trust the measuring from the clamp to the frame as the clamp will be bending during the clamping process. Nice progress of...

David, apparently we have already had a discussion about this one year ago. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/view ... 6f7e9ea291 Best regards Bernhard

Gerard, did you discuss this during the Oktoberfest after your third round of Maß? Basically "das" Blog is correct (das Internettagebuch) but it is also allowed to say "der" Blog. Sometimes even the Germans are a little flexible :D :shock: (especially during the Octoberfestseason :D )...

Bonjour Pompon, I keep all my waterstones in water all the time. So they are ready any minute to sharpen my irons. In order to avoid that they get in contact with the mud on the bottom I cut a 120 mm plastic tube (for waste water) in two halves so that I get a half pipe. In this half pipe I...

It is def. a super saw. I owned one and I only replaced it because I needed to saw more in steel. I bought a jig saw from Fein. This one is also worthwhile to be considered. Bernhard

Thank you BB, another lesson for me to remember that translation 1 by 1 is not neccessarily right. Sorry for causing confusion.

That was exactly the explanation given. Can´t recall which side to show to the face. Sorry if the wording right and left side of the tree is not common in England. We call right side the side which shows to the center.

And how do I get the merchant to tell me which side was left or if I chopped It down how do I remember after felled the tree cut it up air dried it (I think somebody is having you on) I am not talking about a merchants handle as I trust they do not care. I am talking about a selfmade handle...

as for the jokes conger you are right, but 3 major european conflicts within less than one hundred years of each other do give people pause for thought. the economic miracle since 1946 was spectacular, but must be placed into the context. paul :wink: Paul, maybe I missed something in...

Hi Alf, nice and detailed report. Who ever even tried to fittle a broom-stick knows that this is not so easy. I admit that I prefer to buy the hammer stick :oops: reason is lack oftime and hickory. Now my question: is it also important to follow the rule like an axe handle. I was told that...

Congratulations Jasper, marvellous bench 4 years! Unbelievable. One of my friends built a kitchen mainly with handtools. It took 2 1/2 years if I remember correctly. Bernhard

Corset, thank you for the compliment :D If you have to repack everything after your working session than certainly festool basis system is the best. I forgot to say if such a system then it should be festool. I havent seen any other reliable so far. Another choice (sorry) could be the Mafell...

Corset, I am really satisfied with the basis from Festool. Although I have to admid I only have the router basis but all the people I know are also happy with the other parts like saw modules and belt sander. It is a great tool which safes you space. All I can say I would go for it again. It...

..... and your wife allowes you to spend :P ..... and you need for your projects.... But here I am with Marc you cannot have too much planes :)

Hi Marc, I thought you were lost in your beautiful workshop. Freiburg is the sunny town of Germany. I hope you enjoyed it. What did you do with your dogs? Talking about the drawers - yes there is more in but that is for the other forum because it is e-powered. The 45 I keep completely stored...

Alf, do it again (hammer) as there is a new version out. Coloured pictures - a fellow woodworker hardly able to speak english claims that he got most of their tips/hints only by fotos Bernhard

Don´t worry Bill, I did the same for my toolbox when working outside the shop..... Bernhard

Slippery fingers :oops: Certainly I wanted to say Knock Wood - Sorry

Hello Jasper I had to learn this lesson as well. Tage Fried and some other article in FWW claim that this is a so called Dutch Pull-Out. I hope that I got this right. Thank you for the compliment Bernhard
