Thanks for the input macros, i'll get cleaning that front bar. I do have the mitre gauge just i forgot to photo it :). Do you think it might be worth placing in the for sale section? *Edit: Just googled and it is indeed a Euro 260. Front bar is lovely and clean again, surface rusting came...

Hi all, I'm getting a new shed soon and looking to sell my Inca bandsaw because I don't use it anymore (hand tools mostly now). I've no idea what it's worth so was wondering if anyone could help me out with a guide price. Band saw details: Inca 342 186 44 Full working condition (albeit a...

Having looked at the edge again this lunch I'm thinking it is just a rip saw, looks to have plenty of fleam and set though! Unable to get a good photo of it.

Ah maybe that's the case, I'll get some better pictures of the cut tomorrow in daylight. Thanks for the links to the other threads, interesting reads!

Hi all, I got the saw in question from a carboot at the weekend and was wondering if anyone knew anything about this manufacture? The blade is etched with G.T.L, there is a 6 stamped on the last tooth for the tpi and the teeth have been sharpened (very nicely) in a crosscut pattern. I've...

Hi there, I've also got a set of the Aldi chisels and love them, although i've nothing modern to compare them too. Have you decided on a sharpening method yet? I recommend Eze-Lap diamond plates, I'm not all that experienced in sharpening but have no problem getting my tools edge nice and...

That saw looks a beauty!!!

haha fantastic read :)

Excellent read haha! Here's a stock photo of one of the planes: http://www.bridgemanimages.com/en-GB/as ... s-rosewood

Maybe see if you could get on the Skelton dovetail pass around? He said he wanted people from all walks of experience involved. https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/skelton-dovetail-saw-pass-round-t85358.html

Haha that page is actually how I ended up searching youtube for "musical saw". I never knew people could harness them as instruments :)

Though this was worth sharing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E_U1xyK7Gw Sorry if this has been posted before!

I've certainly considered it and I might eventually do so! I've read about re-shaping allen keys to use as cutters. For the time being I was going to use Paul Sellers poor man's hand router method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_2a_FwjAgk Quite like the simplicity of this design too...

I've also been keeping an eye on ebay and the for sale section of the forum with no joy yet. My plan is to wait it out for the carboot season to restart and hope I find one! Are there any carboots near you?

Thanks again for the advise and support on this chaps, I'll be sure to email record letting them know of my disappointment. As to flattening progress I've got it so my 0.10 feeler pinches, the 0.05mm slides straight through still but maybe that'll be good enough. I daresay my hand is going...

Just had the feeler gauges under two of my straight edges and I believe there is only a gap of just under 0.15mm now. I will check out the link above.

I'll grab my feeler gauges from the shed this morning and measure the remaining gap for reference. These pics are not in chronical order. The sole at the moment is much further on now than in the below pic, the was taken after I was just getting going. Set up: Blade adjuster: Sole after...

Thanks for the feedback and ideas all, using it as a scrub plane was an idea that crossed my mind but i'd much prefer a lovely smoother!!! I've been using a sharpie to keep a track of my progress, because ive got fed up of going at it with 80g I've turned to my coarse diamond plate which is...

My thoughts after an hour of flattening and making little progress was sending it back however this is tricky as it was a gift. If I had purchased it myself it certainly would have gone back. I've only had secondhand planes before so i wasnt aware that this would be probably be a write off with...

I've just now created a post regarding a troublesome brand new Irwin Record #04 plane I was given for christmas (Amazon link), so far I've had to do a few jobs... Consisting of reshaping the blade adjusters as one of them comes out of place when moving the iron back and forth minor issue I guess...
