I did that in the late 1970's. At the time I was working in a NAPA store. We had access to the entire GE catalog of lighting products. I noted that...

I found one. thanks.

PM sent on the pulley

Depending on the amount of easing I'm looking for, I use a LN 102 block plane or a cork backed sanding block, or both. It's not complicated.

PM sent for whatever is left.

Thanks. All but one are old Jorgensens from Chicago. You keep your eyes open and they show up at antique malls and flea markets for cheap.

Thank you. Yes, the upcharge turned out to be less than I thought for the 10hp: $484. I'm also looking at a KF 700, which as standard is also...

It’s surprising (to some) how much you can get done with an abbreviated set of tools.

PM sent on 3 books Perfect Edge, Hand Plane and Hand Tools

I’m interested in the drawknife. PM on the way

Anyone interested?

It's a Cabinet Makers Mallet from Lee Valley. It's a nice mid size mallet with two replaceable maple faces. I have one faced with a disc of...

The 3M Abrasive film I use lasts for many months. I got the multi pack last time and that was 3-4 years ago.

I have a couple pieces that look similar and appear to be heat treated. They came from an offshore shipping crate. They are a bear to work, behaving...

I keep all my boxes :o. If I ever have to move they'll make for great packing material.

We used black conduit with our cedar deck. It meets code and you can see right through it.

To me, a complete set is a kit that all get used and cover all the bases. Until a couple three years ago, I had an abundance of vintage planes and...

Three saws still available: 12 point Atkins #54?, 26" (has some dings along tooth line) 7 point atkins #70 (horn needs repair), strong, full blade;...

It's a two piece head connected with a threaded rod in the middle. I made it from a shower door handle like the one below. It really works nice. The...

I would really like one of those. Instead, I made one of these. It works much the same way. It’s a great chisel hammer for precise work.

I use the PSA version of the 3M film on glass that's been mounted on MDF. The blocks are sized to take 1/3 of a sheet. Heat them up a bit with a hair...

I like hammers. I don’t like hammers that much.

You win! Mine is an affliction. I have a yearning for a couple Japanese Genno now. Maybe another tool purge first.....

don’t get me started on my collection of cut and forged nails....
