Sorry to hear of your troubles. We met very briefly in FW after I and others, had finished the WHW and before I started the GG. You had just had to replace your Garmin reach I think. Interesting about the Waverley, she has just completed her visit to the Bristol Channel. amongst other places, Ilfracombe was one of her ports of call. Good luck for your next visit to Cape Wrath Trail. 😊

I really love the swing chair 😍 it sounds horrible, but I would try it. Lovely video. So sad, that you got sick 😢 but it was nice to meet you again in Fort William 🤗

Lovely story. Wondered what you picked up to cause the food poisoning? The estate managers name is Alistair. Will be passing Corryhully Bothy soon so will see if your swinging chair is still in situ. Hope to see you on the Cape trail again. Its addictive (done it 3 times) but will not be doing it in Winter.

Cheers mate. Three times! Epic! You might The record for number of times completed. :) The trip coincided with an ecoli outbreak in the UK, symptoms lasted almost 3 weeks... So seems likely? Another hiker I met in Fort William had similar experience. Hope you found the swinging chair!

Exactly the same thing happened to me and to some others I’ve spoken to this year - not sure what the heck was going on!!

Ah crap! (Literally!) There was an ecoli outbreak in the UK at the same time... Not sure whether this could have been it. Hope you managed to complete it in the future.

Curious about the adjuster, is it better than the Bailey adjusters or is it just hype? Like, does it adjust well, can you differentiate between backlash and actual movement, is it fragile, and whatnot. Thanks in advance

Oh and the finish, does it fully protect the wood from sweat and oils? I kind of prefer my handles to absorb some of the sweat and oils from use, but at the same time, I like that satin look. I am torn, I normally just use BLO and overtime it will develop a satin look.

It is called a differential screw and is very well known in the machinists world as being very precise.

I find the design of the Norris to be more ergonomic than a Stanley, that is, its more comfortable to hold and push. The body is shorter than a Stanley and not as heavy. Which means it has a lighter glide over the workpiece. You need to apply more vertical force. For these reasons I consider it a finishing plane, where you want the finest shavings. This is where it is better than a Stanley because the adjust is very fine. The weakness I have discovered is that the iron can pivot aroubd more easily so you really need to clamp it down. It also doesnt have a lateral adjustment level like the stanley which makes it a real pain to correct once it moves. Like the old wooden planes, tapping the corners of the iron is the quickest way to get the iron pivoted back to centre but that involves some trial and error.

@@adobotachibana732 Like Stanleys, Most of the Norris planes were beech wood finished with brown/red shellac. Boiled linseed can make this wood look very murky and can pick up dirt. If you want an aged and rustic look this might be fine, I just prefer the refined look of shellac!

Sorry but I think you have ruined the plane, a nice sympathetic restoration would have been my choise ,but each to is own we are all different.

Each to their own! There was no value in keeping the “patina” since the finish was bubbling away. As for the sole, it needed flattening and the sides just needed a clean up. I’m happy with it. Feels and works much better now and that’s the point for me. It’s a tool not a museum piece. This is how I preferred to do it.

Cheers for this video. I've just found a A5 at a garage sale, the owner didn't know what it was and I asked how much for it, he said "£5?", of course it was a certain yes! Restoring mine now although it will only be my second plane restoration so we'll see how it comes out like

That's what I call a golden find. Poor lad who sold you the precious darling for such a low price. Hope you treat her well :D
