Thanks Tom. We probably should have torn it down. I have the roof boards and shingles done. I am piecing the sills back and replacing the boards that...

I know those same people :) One thing that the OP mentioned that I don't think get enough attention is that certain steels can only achieve/hold...

Yes, a dull or unevenly sharpened blade will cause the blade to follow the path of least resistance and wander in the cut, drift.

Just about everyone who posted in this thread basically said the same thing, do what suits you best. All anyone can offer is there own experience....

I'm with Richard on this. Japanese plane irons are slightly tapered in their width as well as their thickness....

It's not just felling a tree but I think this is considered a conservation area. The equivalent to a historic site here in the states. This would...

Looking good Stan

This is simply not what happens at all, once the fibers are cut, they're cut. There is no slicing vs opening them up You do not make wood waterproof...

You want me to think when watching a movie??? Also a Hitchcock fan, look out for the MacGuffin

Years ago, cabot was bought out by Valspar and then Valspar bought by Shermin Williams. I noticed from looking through the link above, that they...

All very nice work. I do take one small exception with the wedged M&T on the top of the stool, incorrect orientation IMO

This is my approach as well, although I just use a single 30 degree on mortising chisels. Reed, from what I've read, most do not incorporate a...

Well. like everyone else, I'm living a little in the past but for what you mentioned, I'd be using White Lithium grease. JMO

I would contact Sherwim Wiliams to see what product is similar to what you need. They own quite a few companies now. Minwax may be the best bet....

If you don't understand the audible, visual and tactile feedback you get from the tool when sharpening, you probably shouldn't be. Every method...

Feedback is often confusing, too many want to convince you their way is the best method. I personally prefer using quality jigs. Whether using a...

There is a fine, almost non existant line, between imagination for creative invention and problem solving invention out of necessity. I'm not sure...

+1 on bolting or clamping There can be enough vibration that it can walk around, and or course, it walks toward the edge.

To keep it simple, I would cut a pentagon first, then cut the edge angles. For some, this is easier than cutting a complex angle all at once....

You're right, chip breakers didn't really start getting popular until late 1800's to early 1900's Most start with a blade, then make a body, then...

So what you're saying is, all you need is a small brain to be a woodworker :D Come to think of it, I have seen evidence of this from time to time...

Regarding the wood, wood decays from exposure to oxygen. As an example, there is ancient Kauri. This wood is salvaged from bogs/swamps and is on...

Just some food for thought https://flooring-experts.com/hardwood-floor-thickness/

One issue is also finishing, I think everyone can figure out why

This well was the oldest, the new discovery blows it away by millennia...

I read that yesterday, very cool. Also just shows how much we don't know

+1 Typically, 1/4" inch is about the max where you don't need to worry, anything over 1/4" is when I have to consider movement. That being said, I...

I have a slightly different GO513, mine has the cast iron wheels and trunions. You need to talk him down a lot IMO, the anniversary models are...
