Ooh that is nice!

You tried it out yet? I bet it strips steel like a beast.

(What you doing with your old one?)

thanks, you can make a perfectly good knife with the clarke its just a chore doing so plus belts for the clark cost as much as the larger! and belts is where the money goes!
i will be keeping the clarke as handy for other jobs. the large table and plattern help and along with a jig should make bevelling not only neater but quicker also.

Oddly enough I picked up a Aldi grinder/bet sander combo yesterday on a whim, £19.99 in the clearance area (I think they were £30), the project list has just expanded no end :rolleyes: Good luck with the new beast, shiny....
