http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/655/837.pdf For #66 but should be similar process. Here's someone who replaced the contactor with a...

This was part of a mixed lot of tools that I got recently. There appears to be a fracture in the cutting edge, which hasn't affected the light use...

Three passes with a beading bit in a router table should do it.

Now that's a jobsite saw! Nice Powermatic saw. I also wouldn't replace the switch, but then I probably wouldn't replace the fence either...

Personally I would say zero coats, although the solid-core door outfeed/assembly top is getting some finish over time from drips and rags used to...

A slick is by definition a "big chisel" so included, but I think we are talking about woodworking so not stone chisels, cold chisels, air tool steel,...

I'm getting a bigger band saw, & so working on the far corner of the shop, where the least functional stuff drifts to, including the two systainers...

I got one job after the previous guys were fired. They installed siding with brad nails and it was coming off the walls after a few months in the...

Got the hyper-custom project installed last week. The client (in photo) had commissioned the silk fabric canopy for her son's wedding. Now it is...

I was big into slot cars back then too. Still have brass tubing, rod, etc.. Built frames, rewound motors- it was a hoot. Come to think of it, I...

If you assemble the frame first, any inside profile will be rounded at the corners- a lesser look by most standards.

Maybe more car washes are being built in response to the moronic fad of black cars, which along with their other shortcomings, require 3 or 4x the...

Yes, one must resist the inner spelling Nazi and other anti-social voices. I'm currently selling some plywood that I salvaged. A buyer responded...

The real deal at work. Plane at 3:15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZd8btDlO6A&t=233s

When a response to my Craigslist ad shows a major lack of competence or reading comprehension, I tend to think that the interaction would not be...

Modern folks only need to open Amazon packages, and they use a key.

I posted on this yesterday, but it is not here. Best airflow and louver vents are mutually exclusive. Not too hard to make as half the louvers...

Those are the ones that have been sharpened the least, and are close to their original length. The first is from the set that I purchased around...

Been using this further, including truing the edge of a ~10' 2X6. I set the fence to act a a kind of hold down to help keep the piece in place while...

I agree. I have two systainers, that the Domino and tenons came in. The tenon one is sort of OK, but takes up a lot of room, needs a big place to...

The angle of the hone is not critical, IMO. I put them in the drill press and apply the chisel by hand- easy to see what's happening.

I use WD40 after every use, & don't bother wiping it off- just run a few seconds and put the plastic guard back on. The pump sprayer refilled from a...

I'm guessing that you mean that Japanese planes are more complex than western ones, and so not worth using. I'm curious if the comment is based on...

I've had 8 1/4" and 10" Makita portable saws, and the 10" is way more useful in general utility, and blade selection/availability. Rip capacity on...

Looking good. There appears to be a bunch of math, followed by direct measurement.

I have planes with very close mouths, but these are some that I use the most, for heavy, and medium utility cuts. IME, final, high level smoothing...
