Sounds like SS has a well equipped workshop. Can you recommend someone to sharpen the thicknesser blades ? I have a load of blunt used blades, ruined because I have built a few teak boats recently.

Seems a successful day, except for the last hiccup.
Brings back an old favorite saying from a friend.
"One oh $h!t erases a thousand attaboys"

RE: What have done towards your prep? - bigpaul - 23 April 2015
having a clear out of the (now tidy) workshop and putting some stuff on the local freecycle, already got rid of an old trailer and an old wheelbarrow that's not in use. waiting for some more to be picked up. this will clear more room for prep type stuff.
RE: What have done towards your prep? - Straight Shooter - 23 April 2015
The kaltenbach is now finished and spot on just waiting on the blades to be returned from being sharpened...The pillar drill has also been sorted and finished spot on, fitted cutters on the thicknesser ...still waiting for the new drive belt , the only thing left on the machine front is to make a sled for the saw table and a good tidy up...and de,clutter from the last 30 years ...that should be fun..but stuff needs to go...on the real prepper front ..going to make cart for my HAND tools and bug out kit.
