Hello all,
short version:
I'm looking for a couple of clamp head sets, are these from Axminster any good? Or would I be better of with these from Faithfull or the traditional Record version?
Long version:
I am new to this forum, have been reading this forum for about a year now, but have never signed up. Truth is I spend too much time on the net reading about woodworking as it is. But as you seem like a great bunch of woodworkers and as you're closer to the Netherlands than most other forums, I decided to join regardless.
I have been woodworking for about 5 years and shifted to hand tools (not exclusively, I'm no Adam Cherubini) about two years ago (HATE dust and sanding). Made some rectangular stuff (tables, changing station) and then decided to try my hand at a Luytens bench with an extra curve in the plane of the back. This project nearly killed me, non-straight tenons and curved shoulders. Right now I'm almost finished, I'll show pictures once I'm done. Next project will be two large doors, which is where I'll need the long clamps.
