Best methods for symmetry?

Best methods for symmetry?

When needing to position objects symmetrically around a centre point I usually use either a nubs circle or by manually positioning the objects, is there a simpler way to symmetrically position stuff?

Why is the "centre" of each part of centre?

My model is split into 3 different objects but at some point what is considered the centre of the object has moved and I don't really understand how it has or how to move it back, if anyone can explain this to me, thanks

I thought I'd make a "small" chest

I had a load of wood salvaged from a wardrobe I dismantled so I thought I'd try making a tool chest! Nothing too fancy, just used glue and screws to hold it together. Gotta paint it and put the top on but I'm quite chuffed with what I could do with nothing but scraps

Advice for being on camera

I've been making short woodworking videos and I see a lot of the bigger woodworking accounts have themselves on camera, such as Eoin Reardon or Rex Kruger. I have been making videos with myself behind the camera or my face cropped out and I have never made a video with myself talking on camera, I do voice overs in the edit. Do you have any pointers for making videos like this?

Woodworking when at uni

I'll be leaving for university soon and I wanna be able to do some woodworking while I'm there, would I be able to set something up in my room (in the UK it's just me in the room) or would I have issues with dust?

Making a shave horse

I have just got a drawknife and reckon a shave horse would be a useful addition! I have this beam of oak and I was gonna try to break the split off and use that, would that be ideal or should I just buy some pine boards

I got my first drawknife

Recently been on the hunt for a drawknife, and they're surprisingly rare in the UK when compared to America, but the wait is over and I found one! 8" of Sheffield steel for £38

Apollo lunar lander and Soviet lunar lander

I made a couple lunar Lander replicas, both need work but they resemble what they're meant to be

Cambering a plane iron, question

I saw a Rex Kruger video recently where he's advertising cambered plane irons, in the video he showed how it can be done with a grind stone and that it could be done, but is tedious, using sand paper and a sharpening stone. I don't have a grind stone, I don't wanna buy an expensive iron, and my sharpening set up is not too coarse so it would take a while. Can I use files to shape the blade?
