Thank you all for the replies. I initially didn't see an issue with the bench in front of the electrical panel, but keeping that clear seems like a good idea. I'm hopeful that I'll end up with more...
My wife and I are in the early stages of looking for a new house. I'll likely claim some unfinished space for a workshop and I'm trying to figure out the minimum size I would need. I'm currently...
Travisher is sold. Thanks, Jeff
I received a question about how the blade is set up on the travisher, so I'm posting some pictures to make that more clear. The blade is set up as I received it new. The blade has not been...
I agree with everything Lee said. The strength of the magnet quickly falls off with distance. One way to get a bit more holding strength at a distance is to put a back iron or magnetic shield...
I agree that a stool won't be the easiest starting project, but it is certainly doable. Build something you're excited to build. I haven't built this, but found this Popular Woodworking video for a...
Bump to see if anyone is looking for a travisher
The recent post about Claire Minihan travishers reminded me that I've been sitting on an unused one. I bought it for saddling a chair, but I never gotten around to that project.
The travisher...
My thought with it being portable was more about when I move house. If I knew it would stay put indefinitely, I'd give more consideration to a Roubo style design. I'd still like the mass of a 4"...
I'm starting a Moravian bench build with the design based on Will Myers's plans. I'm making a few minor adjustments and wondered if anyone had experience with these changes.
- I'm planning to use...
Thanks, Jim. I’ll see what I can find for springs and get back to you.
In my drill, the holes are .14” dia and each about .17” deep. I think that means I’d need something with a maximum...
I’ll give the springs a try. Thanks!
I have a Millers Fall 2-01 eggbeater drill with a chuck that (I assume) is missing some parts. I haven't been able to find a diagram of what this particular model is supposed to look like, so I was...
Hi Tom,
I’m looking forward to reading this. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences
Will Neptune has an article about this in FWW #276. He doesn’t mention an angle, but goes through several approaches.
I recently built a dollhouse and used tapered sliding dovetails to join the...
The post recent episode of FWW’s podcast talked about resale blades. I remember they liked Lenox, but don’t recall the specific model. Link to the episode is here:

Very nice explanation of the build process. FWW’s podcast (#237) mentioned Esherick, which got me thinking about building a version of his stool. It’s very helpful to find your process and...
I looked into side clamping honing guides recently too. You might find this thread interesting:
...
I found a video on FWW yesterday where Bob Van Dyke went through the steps of tuning up a generic eclipse. So between tuning up a cheap one, finding a vintage eclipse, the nicely machined Australian...
Ah yes, that's the thread I saw. For some reason I just couldn't find it again. Thanks for digging it up. I guess I have another item to add to my wish list!
I've been spending far too much time lately in the sharpening/ honing guide rabbit hole. It seems that the Lie-Nielsen honing guide is great for LN products, but doesn't always accept the geometry...
I just went through a similar tool storage problem. There were lots of good suggestions in this thread:...
I’ve had good luck with Beacon Hardwood in Medley (near Miami airport). Their website makes them look like a wholesale outfit but the Medley location will sell small quantities. I’ve bought 5-10 BF...
Thank you to everyone for the great suggestions. I think I'm going to wipe everything down with oil, wrap it in Uniwrap, then put it in weather tight boxes. I'll throw some desiccant packs and...
