    Correct use of marking knife

    Hi Guys When using a marking knife do you make the cut with a series of stokes to deepen the cut as you do with a marking gauge or with a single deep stoke? I am having issues marking using a square as I end up with a set of lines instead of a single line as the square seems to move due to the...

    1.5KW extractor 16A supply

    Hi I bought an axminster awede extractor last week which came with a 16A plug. I have tried to get away with running it on a standard 13A plug which is OK about 50% of startups but blows the plug fuse the rest of the time. (the fluro tube in the garage dims slightly on startup too) Obviously...

    All I am going to the states next week and would like to buy my first LN plane(s) while I am there.

    Circular saw advice

    Hi All Just spent money on a circular saw as I thought it may be of use to cut panels down to a manageable size or even to dimension wood to final size. Rushed into workshop (OK garage) with bright new yellow toy and looked at large plywood panel balanced on small B&D workmate. Scratched...
