JohnLea Posted November 23, 2021 #62 Posted November 23, 2021 I ordered a Kell jig on November 10. It shipped next day and arrived on November 22. England to Georgia USA. He had to walk me through the paypal thing but it was pretty straight forward. BTW, the thing is a jewel. mtaylor, Canute, Landlubber Mike and 1 other 4 The closer you get to Canada, the more things will eat your horses. ~ T. King

It's a very solid tool that should last a lifetime. Jack12477, Canute and mtaylor 3 Mike Current Wooden builds: Amati/Victory Pegasus MS Charles W.

Jack12477 Posted December 10, 2021 Author #64 Posted December 10, 2021 I was doing some Christmas ornament woodcarvings and decided to try out the new Veritas workbench table. Holding these small carvings has always presented a challenge but the workbench provided a nice secure work surface. Those are Dockside 2mm micro gouges in the picture.

Ben752 Posted January 25, 2022 #65 Posted January 25, 2022 I have quite a few of the miniatures, I use the shoulder plane and block plane constantly. My favorite vice is one of these https://www.cousinsuk.com/sku/details/vices-bench-vice-jaws/v9692 Jack12477, Altduck, Canute and 2 others 5
