Flouorscent Lights in the cold

I live in MD and use my unheated shop in the winter. I grew up in South Dakota and learned some things about staying warm. One thing that really helps is layered clothing.

Jointer coplaner help

A good book "The care and maintenance of shop machines" by John White (I think, I'd have to run down to the gara..uuh.. shop) will tell you all you need to know.

High end cabinets - pocket holes or M&T?????

If you're a custom cabinet shop doing mostly kiitche/bath cabinets, go with the pocket hole machine. You probably won't use that many M&T's in your construction. Cope and stick joinery is plenty strong for the average size kitchen cabinet door.

Maybe it escapes only me: strop on wood block cost

We'll guys, my barber shop still uses straight razors for the final neck and sideburn trim. And I did see a guy a year or so back get a shave while I got my hair cut. These guys have been in the same shop in a strip mall since it opened in 1960.

Steel/iron discs, diameters up to 20mm, thickness say 4mm?

Turn the pieces upside down and fill partially with epoxy (boating or autobody-shop, used for repairing fiberglass -- a pint or so should be plenty) and let set.

Glue sticks

You need to spend at leat £150 to get a proper glue gun from a specialist glue gun shop. Discount shops sell shampoo, how can you expect the proper level of service? You need gold plated ones at £15 each from a specialist glue gun stick shop. Or Waitrose.
