porqui Posted June 17, 2016 Share Just a BTW - I have a plane blade(standard) as it is in my toolbox and use it for all sorts of things - one of my most useful tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted June 17, 2016 Share Amazing - how did you remember? I will contant them and see if they would post me two. Otherwise ask who the agents are I'm sure they must be available here too then. I have not seen them here yet. That price looks reasonable too. This one came with the plane - CAN you get any shorter ThanxElephant memory.... I can only retain the info if it interests me though I remembered the 2 3/8" and was pretty sure it was in yhis thread so I started at the end and work backwards. They had 2 there. Shout if you want them. Can go back on Monday and we can work out the postage if you don't come right with getting them to post to you.

dev null Posted June 19, 2016 Share How many of you are doing your woodwork using imperial measurements? I do, since 1. I am a Fine Woodworker subscriber and would prefer to do projects using their measurements. 2. Most of the stock sizes available still follow the imperial system (3/4" -> 19mm, 5/8" -> 15mm and 1/2" -> 13mm, 4 x 8 feet boards -> 1220mm X 2440mm boards). The same for router bit sizes. 3. The divisions used by the imperial system just makes the decisions for stock sizes so much more simpler. What say you?

Nice project!Ja, every time I ride you have something on, like work... At the moment I'm making tyre sealant in my sinuses again, so fill my time in the garage, rather than on the bike!

Built this from some scrap cherry I had. Was from a cabinet I bought that was just too tall for the house. Measured 2.5m high! It's a simple light box, with 2x10w LED floods sitting inside the box, bouncing off the ceiling to provide more than enough light for what we need. Hasn't been fully finished yet, as I was checking installation height etc. Simple dog-leash chain hanging from the light fitting itself. Please excuse the state of the roof - the previous owners made an absolute hash of the junction box, and I only found out once I removed the previous fitting. Temporary plug with contractors acrylic.

Stretched@Birth Posted June 20, 2016 Share Takes some practice but you know you got it right when you see these bubbles of glue[emoji3] Let the fun begin...next coffee table in the works. Laminating can be a mission, and can get messy. I want to build a jig like this, it should make clamping a lot easier: Details here - http://lumberjocks.com/projects/108361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
