ok good -- so west system will work but dam that stuff is expensive....

My advice is to see if you can pick up the #5 that Tom Bussey has for sale in the classifieds. He labeled the thread #4. Looks like a nice plane that...

One doesn't HAVE to look at just Bailey/Stanley planes......perhaps a Sargent VBM No. 414? Maybe a Millers Falls No. 14? I do have a Stanley No....

Love the Creek.

Looks like an advertisement. Especially suspect when he says a 25k saw will pay for itself in a few months as compared to a cabinet saw. Looks like...

I have at least one of each Stanley, multiples of some, and there will be few people alive now that have planed more square feet with one than me. ...

My only input on the design is to avoid having the protruding parts at the height of your pockets.

Please post pictures.

All cleaned up...and ready for some lumber ( when I get some). 1/8" thick iron ( made by Ohio Tool Co.) and.. Stern view....bow-on view? ...

Wax the granite first. The PSA will stick but peel off fairly easy. It will hold plenty tight for lapping. When you’re done you can take the wax off...

The only thing I use the V arm for is setting the Wolverine jig for gouges. I got one of Robo Hippy's adjustable tool rests before he retired them. ...

I NEVER used to cover my tools, they were used too often and didn't seem to rust. I replaced my 40 year old Unisaw with a SawStop and started seeing...

Why not insulate at the ceiling joist level. We found a 1980 standing seam roof over an 1851 Cypress Shingle roof. I wouldn't spray foam against...

Apple is a very nice wood for saw handles. Disston used beech for ordinary saws, and apple for the better ones.

The truck is no problem, lot is 10 minutes away. I could get truck load home and be back while he's still sawing the second log. Nearest Kiln is 1.5...

I think we can model a vise chop as a simple beam with a point load. The screw ought to be able to generate enough force to ignore gravity. Simple...

Ok, makes perfect sense. I have about 3 inches of Y of Honeycomb that I could gain, but the Stepper motor would hit the laser tube if I go that...

Boracare is a preventative, not an eliminator. 3 stages of PPB, adult, egg, larvae. The hole is the exit hole. The egg is laid in a crack or crevice,...

Around here you can bring your lumber to a mill at they will kiln dry it for you. I have had a guy come up to my property with a band mill and cut...

While the wait time is pretty long and there's not much information from people who now have one since it's still pretty new the "Woodworker" is at...

Yeah, but I still enjoyed your answer!

My home was built in 1836. When I pulled the tin to replace it, I laid down treated ply over the original 1” pine and then put rigid foam...

You can find them hanging with the other hammers in Home Depot. I don't think Lowes carries Estwing now, at least, ours doesn't. ...

Wow, that was very informative and an interesting read. The context around the situation; very nice... I have some newer planes that were not...

I have rehabbed a few Bailey's now, only got beat buy one of them. I have two Baileys that are post WWII production, one was my grandfathers and the...

I usually wait until the end of the day to clean unless it impedes the next step of a project. I do try to do simple things like throw scraps of...

There were no useful pics of the iron and chipbreaker in the tuning/ fettling thread linked above. I count, minimum, 1.25" usable tempered steel...

Chad, I would definitely go the spray-in foam option. I have a local (Austin area) customer who just did a shop similar in size to yours and it came...
