As some of you know i am building a nice toolbox for work. If you don't? Where have you been? :lol: At the time of starting the build i only had a couple of the items designated for the toolbox. So i thought i needed to rectify that urgent situation. :lol: So the other week i placed an order...

Why is it when you plan to do something, murphy steps in. :evil: Next week i had planed to get myself the QS No 62 :D Today however my makita drill decides to start to make funny noises and emit a funny smell. Almost like the smell you get when you charge new batteries. So hopefully the...

Just for Danny :lol: Further to this thread. dovetail-saw-restoration-wip-t76516.html A saw vice/ chop is needed, so while awaiting drill bits i thought i would knock one up. :) It is sort of based on what is called/ referred to as the Lie Nielsen saw vice. So using scraps of ply and pine i...

Just wondering how hard wearing trespa is? I have some off cuts from a job a few years ago and i am considering using some to make a new bar for my mitre guide on the axi TS200. So will it wear better than aluminium? Also will it hold a thread ok if tapped? :)

Just wondering if the angle of the skew makes a difference? I notice a lot of companies use a 20 degree angle, yet Narex state theirs are ground to 30 degrees. The reason i ask is i will probably be getting some later in the year. More than likely Narex to go with my current set. But will make...

This is something i started last year. Picked up a 10'' Dovetail/ Tenon saw from ebay for less than a fiver :) No name just the usual warranted superior on the medallion. Plus the usual cheap beech handle. After removing the rivets/ medallion i dropped the blade/ spine in some oxalic...
