From the mists of time......

[Philly]

Hi Folks
I got nudged the other day by a member that I haven't been about on the forum. So here I am
I'm sure some of you remember me from the old days and other might know of me from my making planes as "Philly Planes". I'll do my best to drop by more often and try and help out if I can.
Cheers
Philly

I have only heard good things!

Hey Philly!

Good to see you back mate. Hope you’re well.

 

[AndyP]

How many more faces from the past can be drag back. How are the other Woodkateers?

 

[Philly]

Hi Roger, Andy, Trim! Good to see you all here!
Since going from hobby woodworker to doing it full time I've found less time to visit the forums (and social media is a bleeding minefield!) But it's good to be busy and it's nice to see what everyone's up to
I occasionally hear from Waka and Martin King, as far as I know they are doing ok.
Cheers
Phil

Yup, into my 14th year of making planes for a living! Crazy :lol:

Awww...remember when you could leave the house to see a band play? :? How you doing, Doug!

Hiya Philly! I am still grateful, all these years later, for that rosewood you sent me for the #45 handle.

Phil!! We-hay!! It's just like old times...... Welcome old chap.

 

[Woodbloke]

Great to hear from you Philly. Last time we met we had a rather good veggie lasagne for lunch at Derek Jone's one and only (hopefully there'll be another) show at his college in East London. I still have both of your 'Philly Planes' red pencils - Rob

I’ve forgotten what the inside of a pub looks like let alone what seeing a band is like :shock:

It will be nice to get back to work 7 weeks of this Covid-19 virus malarkey hasn’t been fun though I seem to be top side of it now , I can highly recommend not catching it :?

Hope you & the family are all well, been missing your posts on Instagram.

 

[Philly]

Thank you for the warm welcome, Folks! Much appreciated

Doug, I have a load of stuff to start posting on Instagram - Social Media in general has been depressing me these last months, but I must be strong.... :lol:

Good to hear from you Phil .
Pleased you are prospering.
When someone mentioned your name the other day, I had a look at your website.

Hi Phil,

I miss catching up with you at the European Woodworking Show!
Glad to hear the plane making is still going OK.

I still treasure the hex socket screwdriver made by Philly and given to me in return for bring his table saw motor back to life. Heaven knows how many years ago that was!

[Philly]

Thanks Gents!
Dave, miss the Euro show. Mind you, I was at Yandles a little while ago and the boss there said he's not doing any more shows either. We'll see...

Bob - the table saw is still going strong (touch wood!) thanks! Actually, was thinking of you the other day, saw plans for a big belt grinder and it needed a variable speed motor...... :eusa-whistle:
