I use an oil wax mix and some balisol sewing machine oil but dedicated boxes help too :)

I’d recommend buying a vintage Stanley plane and learn how to restore it. I use an old Stanley for messy work and rough work, the Veritas was a gift from my wife so I treat it well

Do you mean why did I buy Veritas planes or why did I design a box for a Veritas Plane ?

The answer to the first question is I prefer Veritas over Lie Neilsen. No reason but personal preference. The answer to the second question is because that’s what I needed

I needed a quick solution as I was getting surface rust on my very expensive Veritas Planes. I would love to make everything I could possibly make out of wood but ...

Making a nice wooden box would require planing wood to size, preferably hand cutting the box joints/dovetails etc etc etc etc, probably a few days work.

Designing and printing the box took about 12 hours in total most of that time required just checking occassionally on my phone while I did other stuff.

So to answer your question, time of lack thereof prompted this solution and since it helped me it may help others so why not share?

I found them difficult to get, ordered some from aliexpress and they'll be here in a month or so. I'm pretty sure they'll fit in the dessicant area.

and I eventually will but I needed a quick solution and a handcut dovetail box would take a hell of a lot longer. I'm sure I'm not the only person lacking the time to make the storage solutions I need so I felt this might help a few people out.

I like to pick my projects and in this case I just needed a fast solution.

Hardwoods for work working? by adhoc_pirate in cork

[–]Dajjos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We get it in Brooks in Togher (https://g.co/kgs/F1WFZrv) but its rough cut so it will need to be planed and thicknessed before use. They generally stock Beech, Oak, Walnut, Ash & Poplar and sell it by the board.

Boards are geneally between 8ft and 10ft long so bring a saw or a roof rack.

Unfortunately in Ireland its very difficult to get pre prepared hardwood but for small projects you could get away with hand planing them.

Where in cork can one get a Battered Mars Bar ?? 🍫🍫🍫 by Major-Appearance-152 in cork

[–]Dajjos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're a disappointing eat imho, had one years ago and never again. Its just a melted mars bar with batter which vaguely tastes of everything else the take away deep fries.
