A couple of these… cheap as chips to run. Below is an example, but check the link for variations.
15 December 2013 at 11:34 am #23906Nice job David. I like the idea of making multiple items of the same project… even though the work is repetitive your skills improve and the tasks become almost second nature. Whos the lucky one this Christmas? Well Done mate.
13 December 2013 at 3:30 pm #23799I just spotted the dishwasher under the bench top 🙂 brilliant. Upcycling at its best.
13 December 2013 at 3:28 pm #23798Good job buster… I like your spirit. That “door bench” is genius and shows a real determination to “just get on with it”.
12 December 2013 at 3:51 pm #23719A great plane from Stanley. £20 OFF and free delivery with orders of £99 or more. Stanley Sweetheart No.4 Premium
With £15 Off… this Stanley Bailey 5 Piece Chisel Set looks nice too.
12 December 2013 at 2:08 pm #23706Good choice Eddy… looks a nice chisel, at a very, very reasonable price too.
11 December 2013 at 10:21 pm #23672Hi Eddy… I visited the Tool Post back in June and was impressed by there selection of tools. They have some carving gouges in there online store, one being 37mm. If it’s not what you need, Give them a call because their shop is very well stocked.
Failing that, have a look here
11 December 2013 at 6:37 pm #23648Thanks guys… Greg, I did consider the digital version but I’m a real book person. Thanks for the link George & Ken… ive been searching most of the day for a UK seller. Much appreciated.
11 December 2013 at 12:40 pm #23625Has any UK member managed to find a seller for the book recommended by Greg (By Hand & Eye) I’m really struggling to find the book here in the UK. I have tried all the big boys… Amazon, WH Smiths & Waterstones.
10 December 2013 at 6:24 pm #23539A few years back I used to do a lot of game shooting… Mainly wildfowl, rabbits and such. Earlier this summer I decided it time to quit as it was becoming very expensive and a lot less rewarding.
Woodworking was something I have always wanted to pursue, and has been for many years, ever since I was a school boy in fact. One of the most vivid memories I have was woodwork and how much I enjoyed using the wood lathe in class. It’s one of those memories that’s will stay with me forever I think.
So, earlier this summer I decided to sell my shotguns and shooting gear and reinvest money from the sale in some power tools.
I purchased a bandsaw, thicknesser planner and a wood lathe. That was before I had heard of Paul Sellers or Woodworking Masterclasses.
Having only discovered this website, this community and Paul approximately six weeks ago now, I’m having some BIG regrets on my power tool purchase. I wish I had been less eager back in the summer and waited a while longer and invested that money in hand tools… Which I still need to buy by the way. Through shear ignorance and no knowledge of woodworking at all I thought that if I buy the right tools I’ll be able to make anything… How wrong was I. The dumbest thing of all is, I don’t even know how to use them properly.
I wish I could turn back the clock just a few months and start over.
10 December 2013 at 5:42 pm #23535Splendid job Ken. Are you keeping the finish “as is” or do you have other ideas.
5 December 2013 at 11:15 am #23084Hi David. The floor is timber. For the floor, we upgraded to 35mm boards and added extra bearers. It sits on a concreates base which we poured 6 inches thick… so its prety solid. We chose the dutch barn style because of the extra head room which will be great for storage.
4 December 2013 at 10:17 pm #23032Easy when you know how. Thank Greg… I’ve bookmarked this site. A very useful resource.
