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. In which live stream was this? i recently bought 2 planer...

@rocknroller912 My files are usually around 200mb in size. Rather than email, we/Carol tends to use the wetransfer service. That's free (for up to 2gb of transfers) and is way better than attaching a...

@russ Thanks, Brosky...I'm looking for a good used band saw locally, also, i'm going to have to find out how much the government[s] tariff and tax, etc is on having stuff mailed from Scotland to Orego...

@rocknroller912, @tv1, thanks for the "heads up" guys... I am going to look watch many videos as I begin my first build. I will remember that all questions are ok, and probably asked before. I have t...

Just to put my two cents in here. I've been a "hand tool" woodworker for a while now and I prefer to freehand my sharpening. I have invested in good diamond plates and they have been working very well...

Well, for introductions, I'm going to use the handle Pocoranch7, my all time favorite band lads is/was a band called POCO, of which the [founding member] last man standing of the original band-mates, ...

@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.

Cheers @boo, Great words of encouragement.its so nice to have a non judgmental environment like this. You don't often find forums like this it's an absolute little gem of a place.

I felt a bit stupid asking but better to ask than to do it wrong and screw my neck blank up. @hursty No, don’t ever feel stupid, that’s what this forum is for, asking questions and getting help. If s...

Cheers @boo, thanks for the advice. I think I've done it correctly now. 😀 Great that there's such a good forum on here where us thicko's can ask questions. I felt a bit stupid asking but bette...
