Totally unrelated to the OPs point but I just had to comment on how beautiful that wardrobe is I have dedicated the rest of my life to at least try and make something as stunning.
8 December 2019 at 7:15 pm #634657I have had what I think are very good results from the get go I can take the hairs off my arms no problems as that seems to be the you tube Mark of distinction. I use abrasive paper on MDF when flattening/restoring a plane. I then move onto 3 diamond plates I bought off amazon for less than £10 the grits are coarse medium and fine I then go onto an oilstone which gives a lovely shine then finish with a strop and green polishing compound to leave it gleaming. The diamond plates are great for removing metal quickly and they have not changed at all unlike the more expensive ones seem to. I haven’t tried stropping after the diamond plates to say that they work alone but I will say that I won’t be looking for any alternative more expensive ones anytime soon.
Cheers24 November 2019 at 7:24 pm #630307I bought a 52A last week off eBay for £45 and an extra £10 for him to deliver it not bad as Goole to Leeds is a 70/80 mile round trip. Yesterday I bought a vintage Stanley no.4 for 18 quid + 2.90 delivery and from the same seller I got a vintage Stanley 102 block plane plus an unknown extra black plane thrown in for a mere £10.62 + 2.90 delivery. Finally this afternoon I managed to buy a set of the original Aldi chisels 3 brand new only one used very slightly for £6.50 + 3.20 delivery. I’m feeling rather chuffed. I have almost fettled my workshop now ready to join masterclass this week my first build is my bench I honestly can’t wait to get cracking.
Cheers all
