View fullsize It's been a while, but my next project is all solid timber, in this case it's European Oak. I finally get to use the Trim-stop, that's been in the box for 4 years, on my @Festool Domino to make multiple, repetitive cuts easy and accurate. I'm using
View fullsize Having seen this technique all over @instagram I thought I'd give it a go to flatten an end-grain worktop. Once set up, I found it very affective and did the job brilliantly- incredibly messy though, so I need to work on the extraction next time....a

View fullsize Finished off a recent Jewellery box project with a bit of Renaissance Wax which, it would appear, is By Appointment To Her Majesty The Queen! Of its good enough for her, it's good enough for my client. #jewellerybox #bespoke #madeinengland #silverlea
View fullsize I had a silver plate made up for the jewellery box making, but on closer inspection it needed a little finessing. A few passes from the block plane to square it up and a few more to put on an even chamfer and it looks great. The silver is really soft
