    Forrest Woodworker blades - worth the money?

    Thread Starter: Tyler Bancroft

    I'm looking at buying a Forrest Woodworker II blade to handle nothing but ripping – they're obviously quite pricey (~$175), but I'm willing to spend that if they're worth the money. Is there a better-performing blade in the same price range?

    "Infused with an acrylic"

    Thread Starter: Eric Brown

    Blue Spruce is offering tools with handles that are " infused with an acrylic". Lee Valley also offer sliding bevels with something similar. Does anyone know how this can be done at home without spending a fortune? My guess is that the wood is immersed into a container of acrylic and then...

    Tips on lapping plane blade back?

    Thread Starter: Evan Van Dyke

    Working on restoring/rehabbing some Stanley/Bailey planes. My #5 is done & working very well - I can get smoothing-plane thin shavings from it, though it is not destined to be a smoother. I am having trouble with my #4. After a lot of trouble getting the cap iron to mate well with the blade,...

    A good day for finding tools

    The smaller boxes may have also been user made. Some of the beading cutters appear to be duplicates.

    Forrest Woodworker blades - worth the money?

    Never had an issue running a 12 inch blade on either of the General cabinet saws. I ground the castings to fit back in early 80's and used them with 12"
