I recently sold one, new in the box. It was a special one made to fit a Shop Smith, and needed no additional motor. I inherited it from my dad 16...

A steak can cost $7 or $400. They’re both steak right ? A new car runs $25,000 or you could get one for $2.5million. They do the same thing right...

I do not really think being s2s has much to do with it. I think you just bought wood too thin to be jointed flat and ending up with a usable...

The similar attachment for a hammer j/p is >$1000. I think the Domino has also lowered the value of that type of mortiser. Good luck!

I tell them I'm the type who works with wood. The kind from trees. (the distinction shamelessly stolen, er, borrowed from Brian Crane) JKJ

Key feature of the no. 9 miter plane: it can shoot from both directions. The handle screws in on either side as needed.

The first time I saw those signs was in Scotland almost 25 years ago. (Without the background commentary.) Now I could use one for the...

Nice miter shoot board...How is the far side, or opposite angle side used? Seems like it would result in a lot of blow out, or is the plane reversed...

Fine furniture in whatever style that interests me mixed with CNC technology. And no, I can’t build it cheaper than IKEA

Probably a Baldor tool and cutter grinder. Has small cast iron tables, mounted on trunnions with mitre slots. Plate mounted precision wheels, often...

I have no experience with your model belt sander but did a quick read of its abilities and found this quote from the machines description. "The...

Basically.. you mount a flat board, it spins and the ring master cuts rings out but the cut is slanted. When you have it dialed in, you can stack the...

The method I posted is used on really old fine furniture. Often museum stuff. Obviously some owners will decide to not fix. Even just the head of...

Slow! Very slow! Speaking of myself, obviously.

I say "nocturnal"

Bumpity bump bump

Baldor grinders & buffers are very high quality. I wish they weren’t so darn spendy. If tool rests make the grinder then my little Delta is worth...

So true, and that’s the hens. For roosters any older than 8 weeks are stew pot also. We once tried frying one a little older. Just tried it once....

So..we talking about a block plane...or the 10" long Smooth plane?

There are lots of sizes of them, and some cost more than the smaller ones which still aren't cheap. With or without the pedestal matters too. I...

Still available …

I don’t think there’s any fix. A better approach would have been to rip the thicker board into 4+ pieces slightly over 1/2 inch then face joint and...

Here is the most important part of the work done to get the Jorgensen #102 up to being somewhat useable. The Jorgensen #102 was cutting more on...

Killing and plucking is only about half the process. You still have to "gut" the bird and keep the usable parts - heart, gizzard, liver, neck. It...

I grew up on a chicken farm. I've killed and plucked a lot of chickens. I'll add a comment to John's post. Chickens that you can fry the meat -...

Obviously if you're afraid of the technique you shouldn't use it. I do a lot of template routing using climb cuts. But, there are rules to make...

You might drop a note to Sam Blasco as he might know/remember what the original cost for that might be. They did go for some coin. I never opted for...
