You are getting plenty practice at M&Ts then. I did a bed headboard like that and found the glue up a bit tricky. Must have been down to the last minutes before the glue set up. Lining up all the tenons with the holes was kind of stressful. Got there but a close run thing. Regards John

Can't quite make out the whole message but I take it that its wartime made when nickel was in short supply. Got a pic of the plane itself. Regards John

I would give it a big miss. The very small table would make it very difficult to work with. Does not look safe either. Regards John

Thanks. I will check Hipshot out. Don't know if I am up for winding my own pickups however. Regards John

Very nice indeed. I really like how that neck blends in. Been thinking on having a go at a bass for a long time now. Whose hardware and pickup did you use. Regards John

The book above is about the best one for a beginner out there. It would be good to search out a woodturning club or even a men's shed to get started so you get an idea of what you need. Regards John

I can't see a problem replacing saw plate thats no longer functional. If I had teeth snapping off I would the same. Regards John

It looks like a good practical bench to me and should be fine to work on. I would not worry too much about the small details as after all the process is a learning curve. I am on bench No4 now and still think of things I could have done different. As you make things on the bench you will get to...

I dont like the idea of putting sideways force on the tablesaw blade. Too much depth of cut and or feed rate then big bang and and chunks of wood and metal flying about. The jig itself is not that different from a router lathe which I think would be a better option. A wood lathe would be better...

I thought a 3 finger grip is what you are supposed to use on all handled planes. Regards John

Good sturdy bench there. What mess? My work space would hardly ever be that tidy. Regards John

Yes epoxy would be the glue to use. I made a low angle shooting board plane using PVA and with big humidity changes had to do a repair job on it within 2 years. Used epoxy on the repair. Been fine after the repair. Regards John

I agree the #3 is handy to have as an additional plane but not essential to have. Since I got one I find it does a lot of the things a block plane would be used for but having a handle its more comfortable to use. Regards John

How about a pump up garden spray pack. No electrics or motors. You may need to pump it up to pressure for them but after that they have a fair bit of squirt time. Something like this. VOXON 5L Pump Action Pressure Sprayer With Pressure Release Valve, Garden Knapsack Sprayer : Amazon.co.uk...

May as well get it from the horse's mouth. Types of fire extinguishers & their uses Regards John

Nicely done. Good to see old crafts being kept alive. Some pics of the tyre fitting would be icing on the cake. Regards John

Make a wooden one. Plenty on line to get ideas from. make a wooden grinder tool rest - Google Search Regards John

I can't see anything right with it. In terms of security it ticks no boxes. A determined thief will likely get past most padlock and bolt arrangements with an bit of work but that is almost an invite to come in. Regards John

I dont know the machine but are there any safety switches that prevent it starting when you open it up. Regards John

As others have said unless the miter saw is a good one and well set up it will not be accurate enough. Have a trial run with some pine as it will be a good exercise in setting up the saw and learning about miter joints. I use the tablesaw like recipio says but with a sled. Shooting board is the...
