No 2 - Honing and polishing cutlery ???????? (I think we are seeing the back of it ???) David

No 3 - Matchstick maker ????????? David

Mike said To avoid speaker enclosure resonance it is best not to build any at all. Just beat through the appropriate size holes in your walls and mount your speakers directly to vent to the outside, or to your neighbours lounge if you live in a terraced house. :D :D :D Tony - I too...

My apologies - old age / failing sight/ patina / grime etc. etc. Yes bugbear - I. SORBY SHEFFIELD on toe (with logo in middle) Alf - same excuses, the Rownson Drew & co has LONDON imprinted David

Hi Tony Basically your enclosures should be solidly made, heavy, internally braced, internally dampened, airtight (unless ported), resonant free, isolated from the floor as much as possible. When at a reasonable volume the theory is that you should not feel vibration if you were to put your...

Thanks for all your observations, I am now very much the wiser. Because I have just learnt how to post pics today, please let me indulge myself and post these two planes. I promise not to add any more - honest! No marks on this one. Rownson Drew & Co on this one. And no cutter...

Scrit Frankenplane ? Isn't that a cobbled together piece? apart from non original cutter an cap iron it is all integral like a more modern take of a Norris type. It is a one piece casting with fine machine marks on the outside. I suppose it could be an apprentice piece? The visual design...

I have a bad feeling about this - :D :D :D :D :D :D David

:evil: :cry: :roll:

Lets see if this works :? David

Scooby I have an N reg short wheelbase van type Defender90 TDi. I have had it since 96 and do not intend to change it. It is very comfortable and excellent for motorway driving. It will carry or tow any weight BUT I do not consider it to be a very good load carrier. The wheel arches take up a...

Sorry about delay - got nice blue conical flame at last :D . Yes, I admit it, I know more about Aga's than planes - out of the closet at last - phew what a relief :wink: . As I am not a cabinetmaker or anything approaching what could be called fine work it is pointless speculating on the...

Wow - what a lot of informative comment, which I have just scanned and will read again later. struggling with a reluctant AGA at the moment. I will most probably be selling it on and reinvest, but I will not rush that and it will need to be deserved, that is, I have already got run of the mill...

Thanks for all that info Scrit From what you say - It is not Post 1922 as it does not have a model no. stamped inside the Norris London on the bronze screw cap iron. It must be Pre 1916 as it has a pimple on said screw. The only other marks are 'STEEL' on the front edge of the sole, and...

While browsing Axminster today I bought the Garrett Hack 'Handplane' book. Its not that I had forgotten that I had a Norris, it was more a case of perverse postponed gratification stretching over many years ! So having dug it out of storage I have decided to at least find out its specification...

However hard I try to be productive with design software I always revert to pencil & paper. I have spent too much on software which is not being used - at least SU was free and, for me more intuitive than CAD. Years and years and years ago I did GCE 'O' & 'A' level Technical and Engineering...

Julian Have a look at this. http://230nsc1.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/magnetic/indmot.html David

Yes, it's difficult these days not to give your e-address to various people that you are doing legitimate business with - one can only trust that they abide by their 'Privacy' policies -if we bother to read them ( I know I don't). There are plenty of solutions to spam these days, so nobody...

Like mailee I use Outlook Express plus a handfull of preventive programmes, so no spam and no snooping. If the infamous work V****A is in the subject line then you can set OE to delete it there and then or send it to the bin for you to delete later. Go to Tools/Message Rules/Mail and then read...

That is probably because they have just completed building a nice new set underneath your shed!! :shock: Hope you have not got a cast table saw in there? :) David
