The blades for the Schools Planemaking Challenge have arrived and are being dispatched to participating DT departments. This is a campaign we run every year, with pupils making wooden planes using the plans, fixings and blades we supply, with the support of Axminster Tool Centre and Tite-Screws.

Many thanks to everyone who entered last year, particularly makers like Andrew Lawton and Dylan Pym who went to such lengths to illustrate the local provenance of the wood they'd used. In keeping with the title of the show, entries will be judged on craftsmanship and design, plus appropriate use of timber, species selection and the supporting documents to show evidence of where the timber was sourced.

Good news we hope for Triton-lovers (which includes us), is that Toolstream is distributing the orange power tools and machines, joined at the hip with new Triton owners, Powerbox. In the recent past we have recommended Triton routers, particularly the superb mid-range 1400w MOF001, but woodworkers have found them difficult to source. That should be a thing of the past now. There are also new machines and power tools from Triton which we'll be revealing as soon as we can. Toolstream are now also distributing Elmer's glues, reputedly the US's largest brand of glues. We tested, and liked, Elmer's polyurethane glue a couple of years ago, when it was being sold by Rutlands. It will be interesting to see how the PVAs fare. At a recent press day Toolstream also launched a range of gadgets from Bench Dog Tools, including the Pro-Cut portable saw guide (modelled by Good Woodworking's Andy King, above). This is similar to Kreg's Square-Cut, which we love, and we'll be testing them against one another in the next issue of British Woodworking (out at the end of March).

Anyone who has laid a parquet or laminate floor will know that the plastic wedges you can buy as part of the installation kit (from Richard Burbidge, anyway) are a bit awkward. Bessey have come up with a solution with their AV2 adjustable spacer. This helps to keep the expansion gap against the wall consistent, and should make it easier when the walls aren't straight. You adjust the spacer gap from above with a dial, and because they are about the size of a credit card, you probably won't need that many for a good register.
