    What might this be? ... I do know, but do you?

    Lark lure is the one that trips of the tongue more easily. The larks are drawn to the flashing reflections from the reflective discs let into the timber. By the way this wasn't mine, my display was by the door , did we speak at all mc281 ?

    What might this be? ... I do know, but do you?

    Looks very much like a display of stuff at Carlton Scroop, was it? I know as well but won't spoil the quiz.... I will say "fatal attraction" though Cheers, Andy

    Unusual chisel grind?

    Maybe technique and using poorly maintained stones which have gone hollow. Check the best face of the chisel for a decent flatness followed by a decent square grind as required. Cheers, Andy

    6th Vintage Hand Tool 'Extravaganza',13th April 2024

    Good to see you again Doug and glad you liked the smalls, not always exhibited these days. Superb pictures, thank you. If I could bear to leave some of the other bigger bits out the one fruit box of smalls would have covered a whole table.... So glad I took the Kendall planemakers planes as a...

    What’s this anyone?

    Have you seen the picture? The liquid we used to call "blackjack" was poured and rollered with no thickness to it, akin to paint. As for Bitumen this is the stuff you'll normally find under old parquet flooring, easily identifiable from asphalt as it fractures and splinters and gets...

    What’s this anyone?

    I think it's most likely be asphalt, opening a can of worms there. I'd not be taking it up if possible. Cheers, Andy

    Building Bridges

    Nice job summat to get your teeth into... Just as an observation I immediately noticed that the lattice work was the same in all four openings. I think I might have gone for two one way and two reversed for visual balance. Then again I've not drawn it out and it might look carp... Cheers, Andy

    On the topic of infill planes; CAST VS. DOVETAILED? STEEL VS. GUNMETAL? ADJUSTERS VS. NON?

    Thanks for the better picture Jef, in this instance I would think the grinding is just a bit of casting fettling and nothing to do with wedge lugs or pivot points. It does look a very good casting. Yes, I think this is Oak. One way to get around the geometry of pivot points and clearance...

    On the topic of infill planes; CAST VS. DOVETAILED? STEEL VS. GUNMETAL? ADJUSTERS VS. NON?

    I can't see the grinding marks you mention I would say you need to tread carefully with the any installation of a lever cap if you've never done it before. I would be drawing out to scale the geometry required to make everything seat properly and to identify the correct pivot point of the...

    The EDWARD PRESTON JUNIOR spring saw set.

    I wondered where that might show up.... As far as I'm aware up until now this version is undocumented. I'll come back to this later. Thanks for posting. Cheers, Andy

    Simonswerk hinge quality?

    Abysmal Another reason why the responsibility of shipping quality checked items should be with the company and redress in compensation legally available to the inconvenienced customer. This happens a lot and you are not paid to be their quality control department. I'd say don't spend a penny...

    Hollow mortice chisels

    It shouldn't be this hard surely with this quality of machine. One of the key problems I can see from your what you're saying is that first plunge. I find that it is better to be working down in steps and not going for full depth in one go. Another key point is to look at the fact that a...
