Axminster sell the self-adhesive sandpaper in 600, 1250, and 2500 grit only. Is the 600 course enough and is the 2500 fine enough or did you get other ones elsewhere?

The Vaunt diamond stones sell currently for £36. Is that the normal price? How much has it been sold for when reduced?

I have some of that material. Thanks Thanks. Axminster have an equivalent product that is cheaper so i will get that.

As you may have gathered by now, I am not one for doing things simply ;). You're right. I do have a few chisels and I plan to practice my sharpening skills on those and get additional ones as and when I need them. I like the look of the Veritas Mark II jig so I think I am going to get it. It...

Is this the hone you mean? https://www.axminstertools.com/veritas-mk-ii-honing-system-200810. Granted, it is more expensive but it looks good quality and is easy to use and set.

Now now. Behave you two

Firstly, big thanks for that mine of information! I'll get 3 or 4 of the Ashley Iles bench chisels as you suggested. I think getting diamond homes with a thicker backing sounds sensible. I presume these aren't the Vaunt ones. Would you be able to say which ones you'd recommend and where I can...

Is this one okay? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0912FPTPJ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_49MG9E9H8F9SZFHWYWVK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

That's what I'm after, a recommendation for good quality chisels that use good quality steel and are available to purchase.

I've taken up woodworking and have been trying my hand at making simple furniture to hone my skills. So I'll be using the chisels to make mortice joins, and for pairing timber. I don't mind spending good money on good hand tools. Are all 400/600/1000 stones more or less the same or are there...

Can someone please recommend a good chisel make for woodworking that are good quality and stay sharp + a sharpening stone to keep them sharp.

I guess so. I'll give it a go. Many thanks

You're right, b&d workbench is a bit low. Your design looks the bee's knees but I don't have the space to store it. That's why I thought of the b&d bench as a base because it's foldable. But I take your point it's not ideal. My next house will have a workshop so I'll have space for a router...

My workbench jaws can be moved to make the opening wider so that should be fine.

Thanks. You're a star. The sketch is pretty clear. I have a foldable black & decker work bench so I'll use that as a base and make that router tabletop as you suggest.

Thank you very much for taking the trouble explaining this. I was wondering myself how a cutter with a bearing could work for me and your explanation confirms that it can't, which makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, the Wealden cutter where dimension "A" matches or is larger than the thickness...

Maybe I should find someone to do this for me because I don't have a router table. When I contacted Axminster tools they said this cutter come with two bearings, one that creates a step or an ovolo cut and one that produces a bullnose cut with no step. Trend and Wealden tools also sell the...

The small print says that the cutter comes with two bearings, one creates the step and the second one is for rounding off

Rutland don't have this cutter but Axminster do, I think.... Is this the right one? https://www.axminstertools.com/axcaliber-ovolo-cutter-d-31-75-x-15-88-r-9-53mm-s-1-2-12-7mm-666054
