A truly beautiful catalogue of your work, I can appreciate the skill and amount of time in both designing and making them.

Thanks Tony. :smiling: Yeah, it's been a while apart from making a sideboard last year. Once the workshop was fitted out, it was great to clean up the old bench planes and get reacquainted with them. I also have a 200 year old panel plane (maker unknown) with rosewood inserts. I bought it as a restoration project years ago, but still not restored it. A cool little project for the future.
Thanks Chris. The Tiger Hull sounds interesting. I did a bit of boat building years ago. A beautiful craft.
Thanks Laurie. :thumb2: Yeah, I'm a bit OCD. :smiling: But I love neat & tidy - it's easy on the mind.
Thanks John. Very kind - cheers. I can't wait to get going with this model. :thumb2:
HI Paul:thinking: well if you like neat an tidy bench you'll have to apply to JIM-R for membership of the T.B.C lol :rolling:

Hi Chris. You'll have to enlighten me on the T.B.C. - Tidy Bench Cleaner? :thinking: It's not a maid in her maids outfit giving the bench a good tidy by any chance? :smiling:
Thanks Andrew. :smiling: Yeah, I can't wait to get going with this, but it's going to be a lengthy build.
I really enjoyed the window seat. It's made from 'rock' maple. The clients were thrilled to bits with it. Thanks. :thumb2:
HI Paul no the T.B.C. is an exsculsevie club run by Jim R an its the tidy bench club on this foreum an its free i think as i have no hope of ever getting in so ive been told by J/R as nor has he but you said you like clean an tidy so i prusume you mean your bench lol
chris ps AS we are member of THE U.T.B.C. ( untidy bench club ) lol
:smiling2: Sounds great! I would definitely like to become a member of the T.B.C. Yep, everything I own is neat & tidy. I am OCD, although not where it becomes a problem - I don't have rituals or anything like that. When I was a pro in the old workshop, clients who came to visit me for the first time often remarked on the tidy workshop. I just like things in a tidy manner, but not obsessive, or I don't think I am.
Hi Paul
Impressive stuff. Everything organised and well planned. Really looking forward to this. Looking at you work shows you are very skilled.
Dear Mr Merlin
We at the Tidy Bench Club, henceforth known as the TBC, are an exclusive club for modellers who keep their work benches in a clean, tidy and organised state. We have very high standards and many try to gain entry but few reach the levels required. One John Race, for example, regularly sends in an application but despite many underhand tricks and falsehoods we at the TBC see through his subterfuges.
Having seen the above photos we would welcome your application to join the Club. It would go before the committee at the earliest opportunity, they are currently on a fact finding tour of The Bahamas. The annual membership fee is £450.00 payable in cash, in a plain envelope, to our finance department c/o The Big and Bouncy Club, Soho, London, W1
Yours
Sir Ponsonby Ffitch Bigcon (TBC Membersip sec.)

Hi John, yes, I can see how unkind this statement is and thank you for your concern - I shall be very careful.
Perhaps Sir Ponsonby is actually with the committee on the fact finding tour of The Bahamas and was in midst of a jolly whilst preparing the above message. I'm suspecting the committee may have been overwhelmed by the local tribal dancers who were trying to imitate the English folk Morris dancers. Perhaps this excitement has created the unfortunate statement. I'm only surmising of course. But thanks all the same. :thumb2:
