I've finally got round to doing some serious work with my Veritas dovetail saw, and I'm as sick as a very sick person over it :wink: - it actually seems to perform better not only than the lLN but also than my custom-made Wenzloff, and cost less than half the price! So now I'm keeping a weather...

Generally, I'm a fan of Veritas, with their carefully reasoned innovations - but I'm struggling a bit here. From the ptictures, I gather that the blade one isn't using is sticking up in the air just in the right place to catch a stray finger. From the general appearance, I think I'd feel safer...

I don't suppose this will be around for ever. Having checked out the price of a small plow plane at Classic Hand Tools (#234 - and why does my computer print hashes on this site instead of pounds?)

I thought I'd post this because, in a different thread, it was mentioned that Veritas planes have been criticised as being 'utilitarian looking'. There are one of two things about this that intrigue me so I thought I'd enquire further. My first response was that I actually regard the design of...

I'm picking up a conversation started on the new veritas plane thread. For those who haven't been following it, the issue is about whether the use of jgs and power tools means that something is not 'hand made'. I use a few machines and a number of jigs - mostly home-made. I reckon, for example...

It goes against the grain, but I'm thinking of getting a sander for quickly shaping profiles. If anyone's seen the book 'building beautiful boxes with your bandsaw' you'll know the kind of work I want it for - an oscillating spindle sander seems the most appropriate. So: cards on the table...
