I just use a norton wheel. I don't see a need for a CBN wheel. Note: I said need. Y'all may want em.. but need is a different thing entirely.

I had issues the first time I dealt with them. Eventually I filed a PayPal dispute. Isaac got ahold of me pretty quickly and complained that my email...

Having been fortunate enough to have spent more than a few days in a traditional house, sitting around a blanket table. I agree. There are cultural...

If you did it regularly, it'd be comfortable. Just like any other movement.

This is truth. Humans are inherently political beings, whether that presents a problem or not is in how we express it.

Beech was a traditional wood for planes. I've made a few smoothers, mostly Krenov style, and used a harder wood for a sole. It's worked out pretty...

FWIW, I prefer left hand twist bits for this. You might get lucky and they back the bolt out while spinning, and if not..they drill out like a right...

David, As far as I can tell, it's original. It's obviously split and repaired. Looks like the same level of workmanship as the rest of the box.

The differences in boxes are always interesting. My 1906 version came in this box, that I liked to much I copied it for my Veritas small plow.

In Arizona, the County Recorder cancels the voter registration with the death certificate being noted. As has been said though, this is a state...

I could get rid of mine. The last time I used it was just to do some 1/8" box joints.. to match a box from a Stanley plane from the early 1900s....

Yep, my supplier was about $55/sheet for 12mm last month. Local hobbiest retail place was just about twice that on the same day.

I think I might be the only person in this thread with both a maple and oak bench. Outside of the construction, and doing things like chamfering...

Only explanation I got from my supplier was "it got popular, and the prices skyrocketed ".

Always a good option. My old bench is an alder base. I'd note that volume pricing may beat the costs in the end (did for me). But it is worth doing...

Holy cow yea. I paid less than $3/bdft for the 8/4 red oak, but white oak.. 8/4 flat sawn was about $15/bdft. I was shocked.

I would have probably contacted PayPal already. If nothing else, every time I've had to do this, the seller suddenly became interested in completing...

Cutting strips off of thin wood, like blinds or removing things like beads. Mine's sitting in the box. I do not find it useful for my work, but...

If it's flat enough for the joinery, it's flat enough. I don't even bother to do anything other than the minimal dimensioning needed on non-show...

I just built a bench out of the cheapest wood I could find. Red oak. It was about $400 for the lumber. If there had been a cheaper, heavy, wood...

We don't market spinners anymore, but I work on enterprise class stuff.

At this point, I'd actually recommend cloud storage for backup for most people. This is actually what I do, so it's putting my money where my mouth...

It was also made at a point in time where very little effort was spent on non-show surfaces. IMO, as it should really be.. perfection on non-show...

I honestly have no favorite.

I'd use a handsaw, and follow it up with a plane. IMO, you'd have to clean it with a plane (or sand the snot out of it) after any cut.

I also have both, while they both do live in the top till in my chest, the 60 1/2 gets the lions share of use. I have a left hand 140, because I used...

Very handy in tight spots.

I have a set of the 1/2" and 1" sil-brushes in that link. I do use them, they're easy to clean. I do use a pallet knife for most joinery though. I...

Well under 65, and I do.

Bread? That doesn't come in paper bags?
