We will be making tons of man glitter. 😀 Totally @tej! I was going to buy the 350S myself but then I fell in love with the Sabre and as my birthday was approaching I thought I’d try to wran...

Cheers @mattbeels. I was originally considering the BS250 but managed to push it to the BS350. I'm pleased I pushed the budget a bit on this. Yes absolutely if you can get the Sabre it's definitely wo...

You’re probably right @jonhodgson but since that’s the way Dan Erlewine does it, many will follow. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S That’s a sweet saw @hursty, great job! That was the one I was considering but as my family all chipped in for my Birthday I went up to the Sabre 350, cuz why not, ri...

I always think it seems a bit silly to use a 350 watt drill so you don't put too much strain on your 1400W router! I think the idea there @jonhodgson is to lessen the strain on the router bits so the...

Hi Koendb and Jonathan, great to meet you both. I finally managed to find a Record Power bandsaw, the BS350S so have ordred that. Stocks of the machines seem to be trickling into the country now. I've...

@tejWorkshop heaven sell 10mm float glass for the scary sharp method. I'm happy to recommend them, everything they sell seems to be quality (they've taken quite a bit of my money). But saying that, I ...

@tej I found these diamond stones in my local diy shop a few years ago. They are ok for the price and I use them for all my chisel and plane sharpening, held in a vice, to set the micro bevel. Instead...

looks the same as the one that just arrived, interestingly the bottom looks far from flat ground too, presuming that’s not actually been a problem for you? @tej It’s been fine for me. I’ve never chec...

@tej, Ben Crowe has a couple of live Q&As a week (one is live right now), you could ask him what his suggestion is for flattening a block plane on a budget.

@jonhodgson thanks for that, I’ve not settled on a sharpening method as yet, definitely need to sort it out though as all my chisels are a mess too and in need of TLC. Granite is over the top for me r...

@tej there are quite a few plane restoration videos on youtube, basically you want the flattest surface possible and some sandpaper. I think vintagetoolshop probably flatten any planes that need it be...

@rocknroller912 thanks for the link, couldn’t actually find one from on the site though. That said I’ll be looking at a cheap option right now given the expense of guitar build parts and tools so far.

Just for you @tej This little plane has never let me down. Attachment : 589E68D3-79CD-4DB3-9A31-178115922695.jpeg Attachment : 163A230D-4F33-4F1A-97E9-442AECA55F52.jpeg Attachment : ...

@tej I got an engineers flat surface from this firm. Not cheap but it has a test certificate accurate to 0.001mm. Solid polished granite and very heavy about 50mm thick I think. For soft water stone a...

@mattbeels thanks, yet another thing with many many “best” ways to do it, will see how I get on. I need a flatbed of some kind for reflattenising (of course that’s a word!) a couple of whetstones. Loo...

@tej This one’s not too bad either 😉

Start here @tej

You WILL need to know how to sharpen a plane though @jonhodgson happy to hear your advice on this one? Also curious as to the best approach to flatten the bottom of a plane given that the one I got i...

I would be worried about glue squeeze out from the fretboard getting into the channel. Old style rods in an aluminium u shaped channel I would be happy not using a fillet, but you have to remove so mu...
