Thanks for all the encouragement guys. As Eddy said, plasters are Brit speak for Band Aid. I guess you use a brand name for describing things for covering cuts, like we do for something that sucks up dust around the house i.e a vacuum cleaner which we tend to say ‘Hoover’….well us oldies do anyway.
Sherlock Holmes has nothing on you lot as you’re deductions are correct, I am a lefty…very lefty.
Matt, as has been said before we are lucky living over here in the UK when it comes to searching for old tools on the web and the like. Virtually all my tools have been sourced on Ebay over the past 6 months or so, saving me a fortune.
I followed Paul’s method of building the bench to the letter (apart from the length which I had to reduce to fit in my limited work space) so yes Brandon I did put the housing dados in the aprons along with the wedges. I might consider adding an end vice at some time, but to be honest I want to crack on practicing my dovetails and simple box making, to hone my skills.
I bought an old pendulum wall clock eight months ago and the case looked OK in the photos but when I got it, it was not good (considering how much I paid I shouldn’t have been surprised). With splits in the wood, loose joints and old woodworm holes and after looking at the way it was put together, I decided I couldn’t do any worse; and so after searching YouTube and seeing Paul Sellers videos my journey began.
