Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Very attractive spokeshave Pete. Had a quick view before your images went blank.

Mmmm I did have problems with the second image going blank when I previewed it but it seemed ok when I posted it, anyone else having the same problem?

Nice...how is this adjusted?

Next to each brass knobs there is a hole and in this hole lives a grub screw, you slacken the brass knob and turn the grub screw for more or less of a cut.
The usual method is a screw underneath each side of the blade, but then you need to remove the blade to adjust it.

That’s a lovely looking tool, neat adjustment too.

SWIMBO has bought more antique Japanese books on netsuke so this set (six in all, 200 years old) required an archive box to store them. Archive board, bookbinding tools and a vast range of covering papers can be purchased from Shepherd's Bookbinders, just behind Victoria Station in Londres. This box has just been finished:
...made in very thin, 1mm thick archive board and covered in hand made Japanese printed washi paper.
There's dozens of 'how to' videos on UToob, but this guy in Australia I think is particularly good and he's got more videos online than Rob Cosman. One of things that's particularly useful for this sort of malarky is the two types of paste:
...sold by Shepherds, a slow (5mins) one for positioning papers and a fast one which will sets card and paper almost instantly. If you have a few minutes to spare, the video clip is well worth a view as there's a lot of precision stuff needed to make these sorts of items - Rob
