    I'd say its a good 12 out of 10 on that chair, you want the imperfections and character in a piece like that, otherwise you might as well just go to a shop and buy some mass produced shite.
    On your broken saw, when you're supergluing something together like that, throw a bit of baking powder on the wet glue, not only does it set the glue off quicker but it dries harder, more like an epoxy or fibreglass, you can then file or sand it and you'll get a really strong bond which is ideal for something like a saw handle that takes a lot of stress.

    • @EoinReardon

    The pub was vandalized, what a surprise.
    I used to do roadwork construction in Ireland as a student. Every machine had wire mesh guards on the windows not because of worries about construction debris breaking them but because if they weren’t protected someone would come along and smash those windows.
    I’m in the states now and every time I see construction equipment parked along the road I marvel that the windows aren’t protected because it’s very rare to have them vandalized.

    If you are in too handtools this much, try and make a larger wooden foreplane and a try plane, I guarantee the only thing you will use the NR.5 to flatten those planes, having a larger, lighter, less friction than a constantly waxed metal plane is so much better.
