    Time for some levity

    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.

    Sharpening Japanese Chisels in 2023

    Thread Starter: Joel Gelman

    I am newly motivated to sharpen my hand tools, something I neglected. Many years ago, I purchased Japanese chisels from Japan Woodworker. Not Tasai etc. I just purchased a sharpening book last week, and today attended a sharpening class at Woodcraft. I brought one of my chisels in. The method...

    Look at these YouTube instructors. How many of these planes and chisels get used?

    Thread Starter: Joel Gelman

    I have been doing woodworking many years, and consider myself very average as I have great machines and can make some nice things, but I have not really invested time into buying and using hand tools. When I get better at that, then I will consider myself an above average woodworker. I have had a...

    How to go about insulating 2x4 vaulted ceiling in detached garage?

    Thread Starter: Kory Watson

    I've been renovating a 1940s detached garage. The walls were reframed & insulated, and new electrical run. The last step before drywall / ply is insulating the ceiling. My problems here are: * the ceiling is composed of 2x4 rafters * no soffits, so soffit vents are not possible * the...

    My favorite shop product is…

    Thread Starter: John Goodin

    Timbermate. Every time I use it I think about how it is a wonderful product. It can be rehydrated, easy to apply, drys fast, sands great. One day I hope to never need Timbermate but until then it will be the favorite. Anyone else have an odd favorite shop product or tool.

    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".

    Lie Nielsen No.8 Jointer Plane scratched sole

    If a piece of wood is dirty or suspected of being sanded, my first step is to go over it with a wire brush to knock the dirt and grit off as much as possible.

    It can be tedious to hone out all the scratches left by the 60/80 grit paper.

    Though it might be my luxury to have a four foot long piece
