ITV4, Made in Britain, interesting 10 or 15 mins (the last part of an hour long programme) on how the Clifton hand planes are made.
Probably on a catch up service near your.

Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I presume you've all seen the old "How it's made" programme on the old Clico green Clifton planes, with hand forged iron with the wonky stamp !

Thanks for that Andy, I wouldn't have spotted it without your help. Nice, straight presentation.
It's especially interesting to see a modern, part-automated foundry at work - YouTube seems to serve up an endless stream of impressive but scary workshops in developing countries, where safety rates as low as it did in Victorian Britain.
I found it on ITV X, and the episode is number 8 of series 3.

Helps to justify the price when you see the work involved.
Beyond my budget sadly.

I've now rewatched that one. If you can put up with the voice-over and the rock musak background, it does show a few details the ITV one missed out. But there's nothing about the family firm, Sheffield or pride in the products.
Fortunately, we have both
I hadn't seen that, so thanks for the link. It appears to be a straightforward explanatory film and not necessarily for woodworkers. I found it to be very informative about how that kind of casting is done. Do Lie-Neilson and Veritas follow similar procedures?Sheffield Tony":1s0akdr1 said:

Are there many other ways to make a casting ? Lie-Neilson use bronze which has a lower melting point than iron so easier to do. Patterns can be CNC machined now, rather than needing skilled woodworkers with specialist tools.
