i tried a few different thickness in scrap before I found the right combination of holding strength and grab. in this particular instance (american black walnut) i found that approximately 5mm of wood between the front face and the magnet was ideal. the feel of knives clicking softly but...

woodsworth, I have kept the chisels from the market as you had prviously registered interest. They are still available for sale to you sir. Please accept my apologies for not being in touch regarding the chisels. Since posting the pictures I have placed them back in the original corrosion-proof...

Hi woodsworth, the chisels may well be still for sale next month. They are only advertised here and so far there has been very little interest. cheers andy

Mornin' I basically cut and planed my stock to size, ripped off a 5mm slice from the front, dressed both cut faces, drilled 20mm holes in the thick side and pushed 5x20mm rare earth magnets into the holes before gluing the face back on and finish planing/chamfering the arrises. the magnets...

Yes wizer, but it is of my own construction and design. I obviously drew strong inspiration from the brilliant Benchcrafted. I modified the design by recessing two rare earth magnets into the rear so it would stick to me splashbacks magnetically rather than fixing it back with screws. This...

pictures of the chisels! sorry about the quality, they were taken on my iphone as i cant find my girlfriends digital camera :roll: they are really quite hard to let go of (very tactile) but it would be a waste for them to sit unused. cheers, Andy.

I'm truly useless! I am asking £35 a chisel, although i would really rather sell the lot for £170. I reckon that is a fair price. CHT and APTC both sell them for £227 for the set however I did not get a tool roll when I bought mine so one WILL NOT be supplied. Hope that is okay. I'll just...

Good evening These chisels are still for sale. I've been unwell and away from the computer, apologies for any confusion lads. ill post some pics in a bit. cheers, Andy.

Anybody interested in buying a set of 5 Lie-nielsen bevel edge chisels? I bought them out of interest (times were better then!) 18 months ago and have never used them. I like my oire-nomi very much and would rather the LNs went to a good home rather than sitting in my chest unused. I have...

I am interested to hear how you fellas treat A2 low angle block plane blades? I use my LN low angle block for end grain only so have always kept my micro bevel to 27 degrees having always believed a low effective pitch and tightly closed mouth is the only way to deal with end grain. I have...

I bought a minosharp for my girlfriend who has Global knives, very easy to use and control and delivers an extremely sharp edge within a few strokes. Andy

This may be a bit of a shot in the dark, but I'm in amsterdam this weekend for my partners birthday and we (read: I) fancy a bit of a woodie excursion. Anybody know any flea markets/tool bazaars/museums in Amsterdam? Cheers! Andy

I visited David Charlesworths workshop recently and the subject of flattening plane soles inevitably came up. He showed me one of his Lie-Nielsen 5 1/2's and told me he 'flattened' the sole to polish out the surface grinding marks. Perhaps that is what he meant on his DVD. Andy

Thankyou Bugbear for the correction! Most appreciated. The model on the classic hand tools site looks to be of good quality, and is tension adjustable- a function my current piercing saw lacks. If anyone stumbles upon the model shown on the front page of Robert Inghams book, I would be...

That plane looks like a seriously well executed piece of kit. From the pictures it looks like is functions wonderfully as well. Thanks for the review Paul, it has (unfortunately?) added another bit of gear to my 'to buy' list. andy

I think I am going to take advantage of the current prices also. I'm definitely going for a No5 1/2 but I'm agonising over the other purchase... I desperately need a tool to precisely adjust tenon cheeks. A Lie-Nielsen rebate block plane has been recommended to me, however i think I may get...

This might be a daft question, but does anyone know what type/brand of fret saw is on the cover of Robert Inghams book 'cutting edge cabinetmaking'. I looks to be of very sturdy construction, and I'm tired of the poor construction and inadequacies of my own (admittedly cheap) fretsaw. If...

I get festool gear for the minimum they are allowed to sell it for. Festool supposedly have a very strict policy on minimum sale price, and discounts are out of the question. My dealer said, as was mentioned previously: "If we get caught selling Festool gear for below these (catalogue list)...

To the guys from Scotland... I'm pretty sure the Saw Centre does not exist at the Haymarket location any longer. Engineering agencies is pretty good for the run of the mill stuff but I really do wish we Scots had a good place to go for the higher quality or niche items. Try looking for a good...

Hello all, I'd like to thank you very much for the advice and information you offered concerning my cordless drill. I don't know how I coped before I discovered UKW! I bought a Festool C12 with 3.0AH batteries and the full complement of fitments. I haven't used it yet but already I am impressed...
