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...

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

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...

My Panasonic battery driver has given up after two and a half years of heavy use, so I'm in the market for a new one. Money is no object as I use my cordless every day. I use it for a little drilling/counter-boring/counter-sinking and lots of screw driving. Currently I am looking at offerings...

Does anyone have a blue spruce marking knife? I bought a pair and they are starting to lose their edge a bit, how do y'all go about sharpening them? I'm not so hot with honing by hand but if that is the only way then I guess that is that. I'd love to hear any solutions y'all might have to this...

I recently ordered a set of these chisels direct from the factory and received them today. I set about the task of flattening the backs and unfortunately I have found a few faults. To be honest I'm not sure what to do as these are pretty much my first decent chisels, so I'm looking to you fine...

Hi everyone, I'm building up my tool kit at the moment and have been focusing on accurate stock preparation in the workshop. I'm starting to think I'm going to need some accurate reference tools. I bought a simple set of engineers bench squares which have turned the quality of my work around...

I know this might be a little premature given it's a couple of months away, but I was planning on booking my holidays soon and the Festival of the tree seems like the ideal way to spend a couple of days. Has anyone been in previous years? Is it worth a trip? :D Cheers! Andy

Hello everyone, just a quick enquiry into suppliers of good quality abrasive papers for lapping operations. Anyone know a friendly, reliable place to purchase abrasives such as these? It would be nice to get very fine grades for finishing and quality is an issue as I find the cheap stuff loses...

I've ordered four Japanese saws from Bridge City Toolworks... I'm far too impulsive, I'm sure it'll be my ruin. Anyhow, I bought a Dozuki with a very fine TPI indeed. and a set of three which were on sale. I don't know if it's a gloat or not, because I really don't know what to expect! As...

I have been tuning my dads old Stanley no.4 smoothing plane recently. I managed to get nice fine shavings and a pleasing finished surface on a particularly knotty piece of cherry using the stock iron and chipbreaker, but had the obvious problems with edge failure. A week or so ago I purchased a...
