Folks:
I am intrigued by a new device called a Woodrat. It does mortises, tenons, dovetails, raised panels, etc. and is made in England.
Has anyone used one, seen one, or knows someone who has used one?
Thanks.

Several posts over the last few months -- did you try a search? (use Advanced Search and type in Woodrat).

Thanks. Very helpful.
I just joined this board today at noon so am not yet too familair with its features.
If you just joined the board and were able to get a post up that fast, you're doing great! (Some of the old timers had a bit of a problem with this new-fangled Prospero system).

Well, I may be a grey beard but I did spend 35 years in the software business before becoming a furniture maker, so it wasn't that hard. :-)
This is a very useful board, BTW.
35 years in the software business! Man, now I know where to send all of my computer punch cards and FORTRAN and COBOL stuff! Just kidding. Welcome to the board. Ed

The woodrat and its smaller companion (the little rat) are highly thought of here in the UK, although the woodrat is somewhat expensive @ £400. I might be able to discover a report if you are interested - alternatively try getwoodworking.com and search on 'tool tests'
I purchased one a few months back and love it It does require getting used to but the instruction book and the film gives plenty of clear intructions
