    Time for some levity

    Thread Starter: Dave Anderson NH

    With all of the negativity and political stuff going on with the Covid-19 virus it is time to look at the humorous side of things. Feel free to add more, but keep it clean or it will be deleted.

    Pocket Knife recommendations?

    Thread Starter: Bob Riefer

    Hi all, I hope to lurk more in this section of the forum as I learn more about hand tools (just starting that journey). In the meantime, I do have a question I thought you might have a take on... My 75 year old father is impossible to buy gifts for, the proverbial "guy that has it all", so...

    Spindle moulder setting up for curved work

    Thread Starter: Paul Ricard

    Hi guys, I have Felder F900Z spindle moulder along with the Felder Curve Moulding Guard. My current project is to make curved windows and a big 4 sash balcony door. The shape of the frame, which is 2.7meters wide, is shown in .pdf attachment below. My question is: What is the best way to setup...

    What’s your favorite hand plane?

    Thread Starter: Jason White

    My current favorite is my No. 6 Veritas fore plane. I ground an 8” radius camber on it so I can flatten the face of a board before running it through my thickness planer. I don’t have a powered jointer anymore because I lost part of a finger on it (completely my fault) and it took up too much space...

    Trouble cutting a straight (plumb) line

    Thread Starter: Ray Bahr

    Been practicing my handsaw use for some dovetail work, and I can't for the life of me get a plumb straight cut. I am using a Japanese pull saw, watched a ton of videos, but my saw always veers to the right of the line for the rear of the work. Been changing the height of the work, my body...

    Grit Automation Automatic Blast Gates - Automating my Dust Collection

    Thread Starter: Alan Lightstone

    I'm not a posting a review kind of guy, but this system and especially their level of tech support deserves this. And right off the bat, I have no association with Grit Automation, and paid full price for this system. So, after reading a short thread elsewhere about automatic blast gates, and...

    I purchased my Grizzly G0658 back in 2009. At the time I was a novice wood turner and I did not give any thought to whether I needed reversing capability on a lathe. I have since added a JET 1642VS-2, which has reverse, to my lathe cell. Having found that reverse is a handy feature after using the Jet for a while I decide it would be nice to have it on the Grizzly. ...

    I recently ordered a few new gouges from Thompson Tools. Doug is a great guy to deal with and I will definitely order from him again. Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

    About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

    The link below is my review of the 62" Excalibur Sliding Table I purchased in 1999. More than productivity the principal reason for purchasing a slider was safety.

    Any wooden plane builders here?

    Jack, I don't have a bias against Krenov planes because they have laminated sides. They worked well for Jim Krenov. I imagine he knew how to sharpen.
