>Hi Paul,

Where can I get one of those cuties? Any R#43's available? As Rob "the teaser" (you know which Rob I am referring to...) says, something similar is coming up...

Re: Are you aware that....

William Duffield, on the Cohansey

>Are you sure you want to sell that #78? It has a couple of features that the #140 doesn't have. It has a depth stop. It has a bull nose position for the blade. You can rabbet from either side. You can mount the fence on either side. The nicker is stock, not an extra cost option. You can find one for not much more than the nicker alone for the #140, and you can hide the shiny bronze #140 behind it. Ugliness is sometimes an advantage.

Really, if you think about it, you need them both :^)

>DOH!!!

Looks like I am in the market for another 78 ;)

I never used the bullnose feature to be honest, my 140's came with nickers. No depth stop though.

You need to look at some of Konrad's offerings, now That is Upgraded... :-)

I'll let you know when my "Upgrades" come in!

Good for you, now watch out, Chico likes to "borrow" things... I lent him my push lawn mower a year ago, still not returned yet!!

take care,

Jim

>HI Jim,

Konrad's planes are way out of my league... for now.... ;)

Chico lives on Vancouver island and you live in Ontario. How the heck did he get your lawnmower???? ;)

Keep us updated on the progress with your S & S plane

Wow; that's less space than I have (and Mr Cherubini thinks you can't do woodwork).

Around 2/3 of my shop can be seen in the photo here:

>Hi Paul and Dierdre,

What kind of projects do you make in your small shops? YOu certainly couldn't build an armoire.

My friends think my shop is small.

Projects? What are these projects of which you speak?

Actually, I primarily restore and make tools (it's a circular world), but occasionally I make attachements for my camera, boxes to store tools, shelves and stuff around the house. Small stuff, as you may have guessed already from the size of the shop.

Frankly, I don't do much actual, "full scale" woodwork.

>Well, not being able to build an armoire is something of a blessing, because DH hates large furniture. I certainly could build a chest-on-chest, though not all at once.

Right now I'm working on small projects, prepping for a couple of stools followed by a gaggle of chairs.
