My latest project, the restoration of a really nice Scottish chest of drawers. Using period materials, cut nails and glue. Most of the joints on the interior had failed and there was / is a lot of age related wear on the runners and drawer sides and joints. but when finnished it will be a stunner.

Well I sent off for a Rider 311 plane a couple weeks ago. the photo of it made it look a very nice plane, for not too much money £83. Well dear friends was I in for a surprise. When I got it and unwrapped it from a very nice solid carboard box with lovely gold writing on it, I found a load of...

Just bagged a Wadkin PM vice, from the grandson of the original owner. He was a cabinet maker and retired when he was 90! Recently passed away and the family was clearing out what tools and stuff that was left, he loved this vice so much when he gave up, he got it taken off his bench and put...

Just got this off ebay and really pleased. Tip top quality bit of kit. last another 50 years no bother. Came from a school, so hardly any work and well looked after.

Got this a little while ago from a nice gent on FB, used it yesterday, my my what a revelation! Never used one before in all my many years of wood bashing. Wished I'd had one in the day. but always thought they were a pricey bit of rubbish, or at least thats what my old woodwork boss always...

Just started a new handle for a nice brass back, dovetail saw. I picked the saw up in a general market, in a pound bin. Handle was broken and wormed. But the saw itself was a very nice brass back dovetail saw, so had it and should look good when done.

Going through a box of odds and ends I got from various bootsales last year, I came across this rather large chisel. First two incher Marple & Sons I've seen. Weighs a ton and has a huge tang on it. Will be interesting to see who comes off best a piece of wood or it. I suspect the chisel will...

So today I had a bit of time to spare, so turned out an old oil stone I purchased at a boot sale last summer for a couple of quid. The box lid was missing and the stone was caked in dirt, although looking like it hadn't been used. The box bottom was a rubbish pine. So I decided to split the wood...

Well it arrived yesterday in a big old wooden box and I must admit i'm very impressed. The first LN plane I have purchased, but as no one else makes a no.51 and i had a bit of Xmas money to put towards it I dived in. The construction is bang on, lovely engineering and well finished as you would...

I've been looking at WH for a while now at their Quangsheng planes and was pondering on buying a no4 or 5, I got a no3 for Xmas and its a cracking plane. Well up with the "premium" set. I have purchased a scraper plane and it too is excellent, however I see lots of the planes are " out of stock"...
