    Carry sheet goods on car roof

    Personally I always get delivered - prices are so high now one sheet of 18mm 8x4 is over the free delivery minimum :-) One other consideration is what will happen in a crash - I doubt the brackets on the top video will do anything to stop a sheet of ply...

    Sir Clive Sinclair

    It was a 'microdrive' I had a Spectrum, Specky 128+ and a quirky 'Merlin Tonto', it had an integrated microdrives, phone and modem - I think it even had a ROM cartridge with productivity software on it, it was based on the QL. '

    Can you help identify this spokeshave?

    Here are the renovated spokeshaves. My Father-in-Law would be very happy they are back in use and possibly better than when they were first bought.

    Can you help identify this spokeshave?

    Thanks for the tips, very useful, I don't think the sole is very flat either so I plan to flatten that as well. I know it is a cheap tool but it will only cost me time to get it to good working condition and it was my Father-in-laws so I can't bear to part with it.

    Can you help identify this spokeshave?

    Thanks for you help Ian, I've not got a draw knife so haven't learnt that lesson yet! My first job is to sharpen the blade which is 'a bit dull'.

    Can you help identify this spokeshave?

    I inherited a couple of spokeshaves and am going to bring them back into working order, one is a dainty Stanley No64, but the other I've not been able to identify, other than it has a Stanley 'made in England' blade (2 1/8"). It also has some markings stamped in it but I can't really make it...

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Well I didn't really make my Dad's Stanley Bailey No4 (Type 15) but I have just renovated it to working condition - the sole had very deep scratches in it and it wasn't very flat either so I fixed that as well. I'm really happy how it turned out - unfortunately I didn't do photos before I...

    Thanks for your replies, I hope to share my successes and frustrations over the coming weeks - and yes Tea is essential in my workshop - but as it is connected to the house I don't have far to go and on those really special days it just magically appears!

    Wobbly plane handles

    Wow what a great job, I'm restoring my Dad's Stanley Bailey No2 at the moment - I thought that was abused! very severe scratches in the sole - - boy was a wrong - I'm glad you mentioned the time and effort to joint the sole - I thought it was just me. Great job
