    I don't think the glue is your problem - doing the glue-up using the Planos on your own could well be. I have some, and I like them, but personally I wouldn't dream of using them on a thick bench top...

    Almost. I believe the thread angle is different though; 60° vs 55° iirc. You can bodge it okay thogh, I understand. (Actually that's a good point - I believe the screw in question is 60° if Rob gets...

    I was largely joking about tapping it - although I have form - but contend it's not really "sacrilege" anyway. There are thousands of these planes around and their value is in being useable, not...

    Ben, nice score.

    I've gone (am going) through a similar dilemma (my blog entries on the matter) and came to the conclusion that a dedicated bench for the Emmert was the way to go. Not that it's...

    It's tricky, really being one of those personal preference things. My BD #7 is an oldish Stanley, and I'm not kidding anyone if I claim its sole is flat - and thus I tend to pick up the BU one. But...

    I made and use one, yup. (Here 'tis) As Gary says, it's just the job when you want to get in close to a workpiece without having to stoop. Mine isn't that high really, but it's just enough to make...

    Given the number of emailed enquiries I get about my hand-cranked grinder set up, I doubt you'd be alone. But whether there's enough interest to make it a viable product, dunno. Might be too many...

    I have one with a steel toe - unfortunately the screw's seized up with rust and I'm reluctant to get too heavy-handed in case I manage to break it. But even if it doesn't close up the mouth (and...

    David,

    IIRC, if you follow Mr Charlesworth's technique you'll not actually side-step the flattening of the back at all. IIRC, and I haven't checked to refresh my memory, he still requires that the...
