For the brass sided planes I use Naval brass (CZ112) as I cannot get LG2 in sheet form. However, I have used CZ112 for the No 982 lever caps as it comes in the sizes I need and has a better tensile strength than LG2. k Hi Ed

I even have to throw away my brass offcuts. The only people who make a profit out of this are the scrap dealers. k Hi

I know I try to use small, cutoff pieces of wood as kindling in bonfires. Haven't figured out a use for the sawdust, though.
