Saw a side rebate plane in a junk shop today. It was a double side rebate plane, the body was wood and the plate metal. It had two blades, secured with wedges. Every once in while I see one crop up somewhere but can't find any at the moment. Anyone know if they're worth anything? I also found a...

Just wondering if anyone has the catalogue from them. I've tried emailing them to get a copy but they're not responding… I've looked at a few boxes of planes online but they don't have any details. Does the catalogue at least list all the makers, plane type and size? If so I was wondering if...

Just wondering what pitfalls I'll need to navigate if I order a couple waterstones from Lee Valley. The cost will be $55USD for the stones and $35USD for shipping, still much cheaper than the £100 plus cost here. Will I get hit with taxes and duty? And or will the shipping company hit me with...

Anyone know of any. Tried to go to the academy car boot sale today and there wasn't one. EDIT: to expand on this. Being that I'm new to UK. Is there a penultimate car boot sale that all tool junkies need to attend.

Now I know those words in a sentence just don't occur... But does anyone have a satisfactory relationship with their provider. I.e. not hit with stupidly high costs for phoning another mobile number (such as your spouse), along with the other supposedly free numbers.

Was just on their site looking at tools when I clicked on looking at veritas tools when a webpage came up saying there as been too many requests coming from my ip address so I have been temporality banned from their site. sorry for any inconvenience... Well all I can say is screw you...

New to this county and had a call from a number that was 0843... I tried to return the call and the EE network wouldn't let me. What is it about 08... numbers that I'm missing. Are they toll numbers or something. It's the second time this has happened in 3 weeks where EE has said I wasn't...

Will be moving to UK in 10 days. My dilema is it looks like I'll find work pretty easy but I have every hand tool under the sun, but most of it will be taking the slow boat. So to hit the ground running and pack the essencial in my checked luggage, what do employers in furniture/cabinet making...

Just wondering what your take was on that. For those that haven't read my intro post I'm moving to the UK in 2 weeks... I've had a couple nibbles on jobs from CVs I've sent out and they're pay rates are fairly vague but they give a range of £8 - £13. Having done all of my working in Canada...

Hi all My name is Mathew. In a few weeks I will be moving to the UK to be closer to family. I've been a professional woodworker for the past 30 plus years. I'm looking forward to joining in on the banter and maybe meeting a few of you at the various woodworking shows around the country...
