Has anyone got this book? It looks like the baby brother of 'British Saws and Sawmakers from 1660'. Since it's going second-hand on Amazon for £6.99, I'm wondering if it would give me basic info on some of the more common handsaw models of the late 19th and 20th Centuries. I like handsaws but...

Hello all, I want to cut a series of stopped flutes into the surface of the side panels (flat) of a cabinet I am making. Having never done this, the methods I am thinking of are: 1. With a mallet and gouge. 2. With a dedicated moulding plane (I haven't seen one second-hand) 3. With a Stanley...

I've got a 4 1/2 TPI 26" rip saw but it's slow on resawing lengths of hardwood. I know some people talk about Roubo-style frame saws, but before I go down that road I'd like to continue to experiment with a standard hand saw on wood between 2 and 10" wide. The plan is to buy a cheap but...

Anyone here got a DW1150? What do you do for connecting it to dust extraction when thicknessing? Or any general tips for machines with no proper dust port? I bought mine used without the manufacturer's dust hood and have had to make my own dodgy cardboard box that, along with a weak shop vac...

Anyone read Paul Sellers' newest book? I'm a subscriber to Woodworking Masterclasses and have picked up a lot from his videos, but just wondering whether the book is worth buying (and it's not so cheap)?

Anyone tried these holdfasts? I'm thinking of buying a pair on fleabay. They are cheap and even made in Sheffield - for the purposes of reenactment but the website suggests they are faithful copies of historic tools. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/reenactors-be ... 25a4550a58

I've got a Dewalt 1150 Planer Thicknesser that I am slowly managing to improve. The front rubber feed roller is badly degraded so I've got a new one to replace it with - the only problem is that the roller is connected at one end to a black plastic spindle (listed as a separate part in the...

Hi I've seen quite a few of both types coming up second-hand for similar prices. I can see that the DW 1150 is the older machine but that it has an induction motor which should be quieter. I've heard one or two people complain that Dewalt build quality has declined too. Is it worth buying the...
