I guess the upside is that you're not running the guide on top of the stone, so there's no wear to the stone @tv101 - you're dragging a hardened steel edge over the stone, I doubt you need to worry a...

there is no magic bullet that’s suddenly going to work. @rocknroller912 I'm not suggesting there's a magic bullet, I don't even know if this jig is an effective bullet, my point is that with a job th...

I find the roller style jig that Mark demonstrated on one of the live streams to be the most cost effective solution for planes and chisels. I watched that livestream too @rocknroller912, and have ha...

@tv101 There are a lot of factors in keeping hand tools sharp and my experience over 60 years of woodworking is that’s there is no magic bullet that’s suddenly going to work. Particularly so in regard...

I think the only important question is, does it work? Sharpening is something we should be doing regularly, "getting quite blunt" should be synonymous with "no longer usable for shaving" rather than "...

Attachment : image.png Keeping my tools sharp and effective is one of the challenges that I've yet to master. Chisels, planes, screwdrivers, some - if not most - of them are getting quite blun...

@steveadams Glad I’m in tune with your family thinking, it just proves what a hive mind the Bailey community is. I believe May is a record cold month here so make the most of whatever sun you are gett...

Hey @rocknroller912 It's something that my family have been very very keen to point out.. 🤣 🤣 🤣 Cheers Steve

I haven't been in the country!!! Sorry, but I'm not sure how that's relevant. Surely you could have taken the kit and a few tools with you?? Enjoy the holiday!

Hey TV I haven't been slacking... I haven't been in the country!!! I had a job last week in Abu Dhabi and I'm currently in the midst of quarantine before I can come home.. Luckily I'm not spending 11 ...

I tuned in today expecting (not really) to see it all finished. What's going on @steveadams?? I haven’t forgotten about you and these videos, I just haven’t got around to watching them yet. I thin...

UPDATE! Hi everyone, My guitar is playing great and my thesis is almost finished. I had to do a powerpoint presentation to my class and teacher dutch about the guitar i built. She told me that she h...

@cheeswhick There is a solvent for superglue, I think Wickes have it

@hursty This forum is great much better than all the other social media groups

@rocknroller912 A fair point, have to say though it’s frustrating where I have screwed up it’s meant things have become more interesting and made me try things I wasn’t planning to at this stage.

@tej A big part of being a maker is how well you can get out of your mistakes, and you are managing it very well so good job. Everyone makes mistakes, the trick is to hide them. I’ve been watching th...
