Thanks, Just emailed them, they've turned up odd stuff for me in the past

Just taken a pic, finally figured out how to mount the plate, now short of one clamping knob, anyone know of a source?

Nice job

Has anyone got a Multico B2 planer manual i can buy? Specifically the bit which shows how the thicknessing plate is mounted.

just read your workbench vice or viceless post and would chuck my tuppence worth in... I'd say a vice is well worth having and all the benches in workshops I've worked in since serving my apprenticeship had vices on them but I'd say they're not as vital as often thought, what is vital is a...

that's great, thankyou, from initial glances it doesn't look anything fancy so basic will be acceptable I think

well, after more than 20 years earning a living away from my trade it seems joinery is dragging me back and comments such as 'you're a joiner, fix this...' are being heard. Latest thing to turn up in my workshop for repair is a rowing boat... which arrived with a notes saying 'only one oar, the...

hmmmmm yearsago - the 80s - in a joinery workshop where there were four of us on the bench and two machinists in the place, we were given a £5 voucher each for Christmas by the multi-millionaire boss... it was expected to give him a present too... never did find out what he did with the £5...

OK, intriguing idea and one I've followed at various time in various motorcycling magazines I've edited but as I'm a time served joiner with an interest in the way things were done in the old days - which my kids insist were the 70s when I was an apprentice - I'll pick out a couple of...

now, that is helpful, thanks Bingy, to be honest I've only unpacked the sawbench in the past day or so as my lad only dropped it off last week. I'll look at the Incra 1000SE' Thanks.

w will do Roy

Hello forum, a question for users of DeWalt DWE7 485 sawbenches. This sort of stuff is a little new for me and I'm 'storing' it for my son. The sawbench is fine to use, cuts nicely and so on however, the sliding cross-cut fence which fits into the grooves on the bench is unacceptably sloppy -...

Graeme, I'm in the 'desperate from Northumberland' category here and saw your post re Tyzack machines, I had one years ago and yours sounds like the one I had, sadly it was disposed of by family, however I have the chance to buy another and wondered if you had any luck re a manual? Tim

Hi Jordhandson, saw your original post and the spindle moulder you have looks a great bit of kit. I've chucked my tuppence worth in here and hopefully won't upset too many people with my comments. The argument over a spindle or a router being best is a bit like asking if a mallet is better than...

yes, that's something I recall from my time working with old guys when I was an apprentice, a measurement would be either 'scant' or 'good' to determine where to cut.

Phil, I occasionally wonder at the thought process of program designers who, as you say, subdivide metric measurements with imperial references... a similar thing occurred when sheet material manufacturers were transitioning from totally imperial to totally metric dimensions and there was a...

workbenches are subjective, what suits one person doesn't always suit another. Workshops I was in during and after serving my apprenticeship had traditional joiners benches so I tend to default to such things. A bench needs to be at the right height, sturdy so it doesn't move when planing for...

re measuring in metric or imperial... some time ago I took a break from writing about old motorcycles and instead did a short piece on my introduction to an alternative measuring system when I was an apprentice joiner in the 70s. The gist of it was the old lad teaching me used nothing more...

Hi Vann, just read this post, I too have a similar machine - a Wilson No 2 - of around that age, though it has 1902 cast into the weight. I did post a thing earlier, a request for information on it. Your machine seems to have the same idea for mounting the chisels in the carriage, my question...

Hi Andy, just catching up on the forum replies... the electric powered one you show looks rather like the old one in the workshop where I served my apprenticeship circa 1976,
