@danw I’m a noob myself, planning to build my own bench. If you watch Paul’s videos – which I have done several times now – you’ll notice his boards were machined square and have at least one surface free of knots. I think his message to beginners is: get these as well.
12 February 2014 at 8:02 am #27735[quote quote=27734]After watching Paul’s video on making the blades for the wooden hand plane, I thought about this same problem. I’m in Australia, so old items are a rarity, and new stuff is exorbitantly expensive.
I was going to try buying some lengths of rebar and forging some simple holdfasts. It’s certainly cheaper than copper pipe, and much stronger I would imagine. Anyone know if that’s likely to work?
