Well said, Charlie. Ben, my apology if my comments were taken as a criticism - they were intended to explain Warren's remark. I should not have gone there. Regards from Perth Derek

I could not justify factory costs for my home either. Ironically, it is not the hours of work of building the chairs that creates the cost. They are made with CNC machinery (no doubt very costly), wit...

Post: RE: Whatever happened to Derek?
John, in the main, the pieces I build are original designs. It is perhaps notable that the items I have copied are chairs. In these cases, what I shared was a journey of discovery. I am not sure if yo...

Actually, it's a wonder that Charlie, at his age, has the strength to type. Yet he is a demon! I tend to agree with Warren. Sharpening is such a basic skill that everyone has an opinion. Such pas...

Many built a square sacrificial insert. The downside is that it can only be turned 4 times. Mine is round for an infinite number of turns. https://i.postimg.cc/nZ7k6Bvg/CA177075-5-C39-4-C1-F-BA03-4...

I have two 1 hp half-speed 8" bench grinders, one of which is a Rikon. The other is a Carbatec/Axminster, which drives two CBN wheels, and does so easily. The Rikon would also do so, if required. I wo...
