Preview thumbnail for Almost finished this dovetail box. I got giddy with trying out my latest moulding plane and put an ovolo on the lid, now there’s hardly any room for the catches I bought. Does it really need them? What about a flush magnet? Suggestions would be helpful, thanks! image

Preview thumbnail for Got my first moulding plane today (£10). Great condition. 10 minutes spent on the iron and already getting an acceptable Ovolo moulding. Anyone on here use moulding planes? I would love to own some new ones as the antique ones usually need a lot of work. Any recommended modern wooden plane makers? image

Preview thumbnail for A few weeks ago I posted a pic of a huge error of mine on my first saw sharpening. I had sharpened the teeth the wrong way (moron). After your suggestions I took all the teeth off and started again, almost there but it’s looking a lot better so far! image
