The last 10 years have seen great improvements in the design and manufacture of bench planes. A quick look through my catalogue of tools shows 103 different kinds of planes. But what we are looking at now are bench planes. Most of the people in the workshop start off with the number six, this is a plane that is large enough to do most jobs but not too heavy for most people. If you're a relatively lighter frame try a number five or 5 1/2. The numbers on the planes are just a notation of lengths, a number four being short and number eight being very long.

If we think of the earliest plane as being a blade stuck in a flat block then these two elements will be the most important to consider. The quality of the blade and the flatness of the sole or bottom of a plane. With the earlier wooden planes flatness of the sole was not difficult to adjust, with metal planes manufacturing quality becomes a serious issue. Thankfully manufacturers have in the past 10 years addressed this issue and the flatness of the sole of some of our planes now means they do not need any attention.

That is a serious improvement as I can remember the time when every plane brought in to the workshop needed flattening on a steel or glass surface. This process was time-consuming, boring, not particularly effective and needed repeating possibly two or three times. We still have a very expensive large granite surface plate guaranteed to be flat to sub atomic dimensions, each plane that comes into the workshop is still tested on this slab. We place the plane on the slab and check around it with.001 feeler gauges. I have sent a couple of planes back in the past ten years "Tom won't be pleased" was what I was told and frankly I don't care, but it has only been a couple. This is progress.

There are about 15 student benches in the workshop. If I look under each of them what we would find is either a Clifton plane or a Lie Nielsen plane. We have had Veritas planes in the workshop they were fashionable at one time but we have had real problems with them maintaining absolute flatness of the sole over a period of time. This may well have been a manufacturing problem that they've overcome but we haven't seen more recently manufactured planes in order to test them so we cannot recommend Veritas at the moment.

The other crucial element to consider is the blade. Lie Nielsen offers an A2 cryogenically treated blade. This in my experience is a blade which will hold an edge for a very long time however it will not take a sharp edge as I would like. I've spent over 30 years working with high carbon steel blades, in my experience they take a much sharper edge than is possible with the A2 steel. A high carbon steel edge is keener, more sharp, but it needs sharpening more often. The very best blades in my opinion for planes are manufactured by Clifton these are forged welded high carbon steel blades that come close to the qualities of the very best Sheffield steel.

Clifton bench planes made in Sheffield are less expensive than the Lie Nielsen equivalent. I see students every year buying Lie Nielson simply because it is more expensive. They think paying a little more they getting a better tool. I think they're mistaken. If I were buying bench planes now they would all be made by Clifton.

Personally Yours Registrations introduce number plate auto update

Staffordshire, UK. 27th December 2008. The UK’s leading private number plate company Personally Yours Private Car Registrations have been selling personalised and cherished car number plates for over twenty years.

Personally Yours Registrations have introduced an alert system which informs potential buyers when their chosen personalised number plate becomes available all the customers has to do is register and the system will do the rest for them, it is that simple.

With the possibility of thousands of number plates coming onto the market at any one time, a tool like this can save time and the possibility of missing out on a very special number plate, which may not come back onto the market for a very long time.

All the customer has to do is enter their chosen letters and numbers into the fields provided, along with their contact details and the system will then do all of the work for them. This is done by sending an alert that their chosen number plate has come onto the market and how much it is, ensuring that the number plate is not missed.

 Personally Yours Registrations, Managing Director Jason Wilkes said, "will auto-update you with any one of the thousands of new number plates that come onto the market at any one time. This is a totally unique service that really does work."

He added, "E.g. If you are looking for the rare JW 1 or even a JW then single number, this service will log your details on our secure server, each time our database is updated (with 99% of all avail number plates) it will auto-update you by email, ONLY if we find a match. It will appear like this; JW 6 has just come onto the market and is showing as available for?

They have grown into a very well known family run business located in a small village just outside Cannock, South Staffordshire.

George Bush and trade negotiations with surrounding nations like Cuba.?

The future wars are not bombs or bioweapons as trade negotiations is stronger than the bomb.It is about time that America steps up to plate as there's heavy hitters in business that are putting America and others countrys out of work .It about time to say that employers need to stay but a team to do this is George Bush and use a custom bat on the plate .The one to lead with a team is George Bush .Why not employ America, Cuba and other surrounding countrys as cubans would rather work than follow communism to make products as look at the percentages of the clothing, shoe and other products made in China .George needs to step up to plate and speak in plain terms for all american to understand that they have a future and the dusty closed old towns can start again for future generations to be able to start a family .I believe that George Bush is able to stay in office and make a greater effort towards the economy.Buying shoes like nike and buying hand tools made in China is shameful .David

George Bush is all but out of office. We should be more concerned about what the policies of our political candidates are as well as what your local and state politicians voting tendencies are about this issue. As a side note you need to learn how to state your point a little clearer. Maybe a composition class at your local community college would do you some good.
