Merry Christmas all the SMC group. Stay safe and healthy in the holiday season.
Assaf:
I have a Tite Mark and two Veritas wheel type gauges.
Regardless of manufacturer, sharpening the wheel increases the performance.
Remove the wheel, and, face down on a 1,000 grit stone,...

I was at a Yard Sale that had great promise, as the Son-in-law ( who was around 70 )who was running the sale had told me that the previously passed owner was a Cabinetmaker. But, he said, all the...
I have seen the planes Rob mentioned on Konrad's Instagram feed; his mastery is to die for. As a Canadian, a wonderful and fitting way to pay tribute to an iconic piece of Canadian history.

Sharp, Sharp, Sharp - the softwoods are so gnarly at the best of times, but sharp ( at least 8000 grit, done properly ) is the starting point. I hate to say it, but I have held sharpening demos,...
Depth of cut, angle of attack, skew or not to skew, on, and did I say sharp? Super fine cuts can leave an absolute glassy surface on Ash - Good luck
Greetings:
I normally hang around in the Neanderthal Haven - I do a bit of turning, mostly to make replacement handles for yard sale chisels and the such.
A few years ago, I bought a bunch ( 30...
Please register me for this generous prize - thanks!!
Great video - nice workmanship!!
Spectacular! You are letting the wood talk, but there is some serious talent in hearing it's full voice.
Once finish is applied, well, I can only imagine. Well done ( so far )

I agree - Lignum ( genuine ) Verawood ( close relative ) are not that difficult to work - like noted, sharp tools are a must - Interlocking grain is always there.
When turning, I call turning it...
My 2cents:
i have a TM and a couple different Veritas offerings. I prefer the TM, JMHO.
One thing not mentioned is the fact that all the wheel type gauges stand to perform better if the wheel is...
Good luck Hasin.
Though chiming in late, I had both wrists diagnosed ( properly, with the nerve signal test from your fingers to your upper arm ) with Carpal Tunnel about 14 years ago. I was...

Derek:
Darn it all - some wonderful work there - well done.
T?he largest project I did had 104 tails - you are going to eclipse that number in two rows of drawers!!
Personally, I use the '...
Derek:
I have been following this project build. Wonderful to follow.
You are correct - the Black Walnut is a joy to work.
Keep the posts coming; they are appreciated by many.

Looks to me that what you are seeing is the medullary rays - What type of wood is it? Quarter sawn something or other.
A sharp hand plane will let you see things you dulled or muddied up with...
Very nicely done Stewie - not overcleaned and will make a fine user.
