    Wagyu

    There is a well established herd of Wagyu cross cattle near Perth, Scotland. Their beef is absolutely the best I have had in the UK! Can’t remember what they are called but I had a fullblood Wagyu Ribeye from them, cooked by me, that was the best steak I have ever had.

    Using a bench grinder

    Jacob, That was my experience at tech except we had Oil-cooled, low-rpm platen grinders or a barely used water cooled grinder. Bench grinders are, on the whole, not very good for tools. Regards, Andrew

    Mirka DEROS 5650CV Random Orbit Sander

    I bought a DEROS and absolutely love it. Came bundled with 200 abranet disks, 125mm base, 150mm base, a specific hose for my extractor and a selection of abrasives for both sides of base...starting at P40! I use the interface pads, 2-3mm thick, saves the velcro base and therefore a less...

    Using a bench grinder

    I have read a number of scientific papers (verhoeven, Landes) regarding sharpening. These don't contain conjecture or opinion and are really good, reads. A refreshing alternative to myth and mysticism in the discipline of creating sharp edges. There is evidence that suggests that steel can lose...

    Tormek T7 Bushings

    Hi guys, I took a break from woodworking due to a long term illness. Back at it now with renewed vigour. As an update, the Oilite bushings work a treat. Quieter and smoother. Part of the problem solved! There was still a little runout which I cured by soaking the whole stone in water for 48...

    Tormek T7 Bushings

    Gentlemen, thank you for your input. I think I have a compounded problem. There is definitely play in the bushings. I am fortunate in that I have a newer model with a stainless shaft so the play is not caused by corrosion, however, the nylon bushings are definitely worn. To remedy this, I have...

    Festool CXS compared to 14.4V Dewalt NiMH

    That is a classic example of inverse snobbery though! I purchased a Festool C12 and bought into the centrotec system 7 years ago, the batteries are pretty much done now but it still gets some use. It's seen some hard work, harder than it should have to be honest but in that time one of my...

    Tormek T7 Bushings

    I haven't used the tormek T7 in my workshop for some time but it has been getting some use from the lads. I went to true up the stone to do some sharpening and found both honing wheel and grinding stone running out vertically (bobbing up and down) by about a millimetre. Upon inspection, it...

    lie-nielsen inlay tools

    Ive started dabbling in a bit of inlay-work. It started when i made an ash picture frame for a friend and to add a little interest I grooved the stock on the spindle moulder and filled them with some nice old teak i had lying around. It turned out well but now i would like to try my hand at...

    From Bearing to Floats

    Very nicely executed Jim. I'm all about modding tools to do something they were never intended for. andy

    Truth about A2 vs O1?

    evening all, I have a Hock high carbon blade AND a Hock A2 cryo version for a tuned up no 4. My experience is that they both take a wonderful edge (i hone at 32 degrees on a 8000 grit norton ) and leave a long grain surface which displays no discernable difference in quality. The high carbon...

    Festool Domino DF700 and Impact driver

    evening, The Festool reps came to my workshop on wednesday and brought with them the new Domino DF700 and fresh-from-the-oven Festo Impact driver. AMAZING! I'm a DF500 user as it stands but the XL is really exciting for me. I work as a furnituremaker/bench hand for a small joiner and...
