Hi Jack

There were multiple copies of your post, which I guess is because they weren't showing up and you re-did them. You need to have your 1st 3 posts approved before they auto display, it's one of our methods of stopping spam.

Couple more posts and then yours will automatically appear.

Cheers

It's okay, you didn't. I just saw 5 unapproved copies of the same post, so I've moved the others away.

Hi Jack,

Good to see you have found us OK - I did not recognise the new ID to start with.

If I can be of any assistance then feel free to ask.

Cheers
Bob

Where abouts in England is Les Chester? According to the video Wadkin was founded there in 1897.

I think Electra beckum may have introduced the draft angle into there planers. It was on one I used recently anyway :D Nice video and the planer looks like its up to the usual perfection standard of refurb.

Great to see it in full working order. You've done a great job on restoring it. Loved the sound of it as it fires up, sounds just like the one that's in my old studio in London, like an old plane taking off!

That is some major iron! The molder with planer still active is something I have not seen before, thanks for posting the video.
