I've been looking at replacement plane irons or blades, (whichever you prefer) in particular Hock plane blades which are 01 tool steel and Axminster Rider blades which are 01 spring steel, would someone shed some light on which would be better, judging by the price it may be the Hock tool steel...

I have a set of six Robert Sorby bevel edge chisels, I've had them for about six years, they are my site chisels and have had a bit of a hard life. Recently the top ferrules came off five of the chisels, I guess it's because the Boxwood handles had shrunk, anyway I kept using them and eventually...

I've been a subscriber to F&C for about eight years I think, for me it was at it's best under Colin Eden-Eadon, Derek Jones is a nice bloke, I met him once, but the direction he has taken the magazine in is not for me, too many American contributors, too much of the auction and antiques stuff...

For a while now I have been looking for a replacement handsaw, my original Pax panel saw has seen better days, I was going to replace it with a new Pax but unfortunately the quality seems to have dropped quite a bit, I looked at one at Yandles only to discover the blade was not straight and the...

What do you think of this http://vimeo.com/61698043, I think his designs are great, quite different. I contacted Edward to find out if he would be displaying any of his designs at this years Celebration of Design & Craftsmanship, he said he did not feel his work was sufficiently strong enough...

Oh no that was Peter Sellers not Paul Sellers, Anyhow I`ve recently read that Paul Sellers uses glass cleaner on his diamond stones instead of lapping fluid, is this ok or could this lead to problems with the stone? I`ve also read...

I bought some items from the Yandles show which were going to be sent to me (sold out), I`ve been given three delivery days and so far I have not received them. Anyone else had the same problem.

I copied this from Paul Sellers blog what do you think, is he right or completely wrong? Myth busting #2 Forget flattening water stones – hollow stones give perfect convex bevels No sharpening stone needs to be flat. For three decades woodworkers have been duped into believing that stones must...

I have just spent two days with Tom Kealy at his workshop, I wanted to learn the technique used by Williams and Cleal for the handles on their Reveal sideboard, I can thoroughly recommend Toms courses, which aren`t set courses, if you want to learn or make something in particular he will teach...

I recently watched the new youtube Marc Fish video, I posted a comment which said "Great furniture, brilliant designs, perfectly made. How does that tambour work? How is that table constructed? How does his shirt stay so white after a day in the workshop?" I meant what I said the shirt bit was...

Yandles have some hardwood called Gonbena, I`ve Googled it but can find nothing about it, the chap at Yandles on Saturday knew nothing about it either. does anyone out there know anything about it?

Is anyone else out there annoyed at the decision Classic handtools have made by removing master classes from Westonbirt and moving them to Cressing Temple. is there much point in going to Westonbirt? And does anyone else find the traveling to Cressing difficult? Regards, Mark w

I`ve tried looking for reviews of the 2010 European Woodworking Show at Cressing Temple Barns but can`t find one on this site. if you went would you post a review or point me in the right direction for a review.

I have just bought and used the Veritas fine tooth dovetail saw, if anybody out there is thinking of buying a dovetail saw this should be at the top of your list. I also own a Lie Nielsen dovetail saw and have always thought it was bit course, in my humble opinion the Veritas is better and to...

I`m thinking of buying the Jet JPT310 planer thicknesser from Axminster, priced at £1400.00. Has anybody got one? If you have would you post a quick review. I would also like to know if anyone else has bought it at a better price. Many thanks, Mark w

What is going on with the editing in F&C, the article with Richard Fairbrother (not his real name by the way) says see machinery panel list, but there isn`t one. The article about Greek and Roman drawing ends abruptly with "Note that the free space above and"------- and nothing, this is worse...
