I bought a set of Perfect pattern Screwdrivers from Workshopheaven awhile back. They are all i use with Brass Screws now. They have such a wonderful feel in the hand.

It all sounds wonderful. I would love to attend, but I am sorry to say a trip to England just for this event is unlikely. The next time I find myself in the UK I do know where to spend a day off though! Thanks you for the information.

I just picked up an old saw vice in very good condition! It is the type you screw to a board and then place the board in a vice. I know nothing about the manufacturer nor the origin. i will try to put up a picture at a leter date.

Now that is something I would find very interesting. :shock: If you do build it, will you do a WIP? :roll: With videos? =P~ Please? John

I personally have zero experience with these tools. But since I want to re-saw my Oak off cuts to make a Kerfing saw, I want to try to use one to re-saw my Oak off-cuts. So paradoxically, I want the tool in question, to make the tool in question! This always seems the case with me. I needed a...

Thank you for the link! I will look at their version and decide if I really need plans to do this. :idea: John

From the stand point of making a tool, as an exercise, I really like T. F. kerfing plane. I am going to make one fairly soon, as I have recently purchased threading tools for 1" dowel material. I made a simple "Moxon" style bench vice last weekend and made my own wooden screws for it. I have...

I bought several different grits from these guys off of Amazon recently. They have several quantities to choose from. http://www.amazon.de/BesserSchleifen/b/ ... rSchleifen I also bought belts too, in several grits. They were fast (took 3 days to deliver) and delivered as advertised. I will buy...

Video Series???? Where would I find those? I am very much interested in this style of plane making. I found a piece of Beech about 4"x4"x24" that I thought I might be able to turn into something plane shaped. John

Worked just as you said!

Ah, thank you for the clarification! One more question? Do you ship to Germany? :D

I have the exact same saw I recently (last 3-4 months) purchased off Amazon. So far it has proven to be a decent saw. Still looking for my old Diston saws. I had two but have no idea where they have gotten to.

Mathew, Question, what is Schtickle? Sounds German but I have never heard that term before. Thanks in advance, John

You are absolutely correct there. I have built my bench using a 3x4 foot piece of Plastic laminate covered lumber core sitting on two cheap flimsy wooden trestles and an old B&D Workmate. Thus the wish for a real workbench to make my bench with. It is standing on its own and is most ways...

Thanks for all the input guys. I appreciate your comments and I guess I need to just get on with it and stop finding Reasons why not. But as I said earlier, I need to finish my bench first. Bit hard to make anything without a solid work surface. (Have you ever noticed, while building a bench...

Hhhmmmm......my juuma version came in a light coating of machine oil. No gloop. A fast wipe with a dry rag was all that was needed. Must be something required by WH????

Every village here has a saw mill. But they mostly only have pine and once in a while some Beech. The other hardwoods have been depleted from the forests here over the centuries. Sadly. The saw I am contemplating is a floor standing model. My "fear" of the coping saw has nothing to do with...

Doesn't that just give it some character? Usage marks just say to me when I see them, "This is a tool that is used for its intended purpose".

I had that same thought, but there goes the excuse to buy a small bandsaw! #-o I have had my eye on one at a local tool handler. It is not too big and seems to do what I want. It is manufactured by Holzmann in Austria. Has anyone here had experience with this brand? My biggest problem is room...

Everyone's efforts here have given me much food for thought. There is a lot of really good work here. Eventually I want to have a try at making a new handle for my juuma Low Angle Bevel up Plane. (The handle is a bit small for my hand) I think I need a band-saw first though.
