Thanks Nathan!

Hi Derek, The papst hysteresis motor, coupled with the 5.5kg platter makes for very consistent playback. I'm currently running a soundsmith Otello...

I paid $25 for a 1/2" matched set of wooden planes. You don't need a 78 or 79.

I agree that the small veritas is a great choice. I reach for mine far more often than my 45. Which does make a great plough plane, the veritas is...

Thanks Derek, I suspect there may come a point where the contrast may even swap. It's an Empire 598, a mk2 version, with a Jelco tonearm. ...

Just like the originals, I used screws. And half-lapped joints. As you can see in this shot, I rebated the back so I can add a back, and...

Thank you. It's mulberry paper, glued to the walnut frames (which are interference fitted to the doors), which is handy since I can operate the...

I'm a gen-Xer and well.. I gave up on retirement in the 90s. The 00's cemented it. I'm content to just work until I die. Unfortunately, my kids...

I wish we had a like button sometimes.

I see you missed where I said I don't use hot hide glue often. But use liquid. Which offers all the convenience of PVA, with all the convenience of...

Yea, but it's just so convenient it's about all I use anymore.

Liquid or hot hide glue? Liquid I'm generally a one side kind of guy. Except I'll size end grain. If I'm getting squeeze out, there's enough glue...

Yes, Jim is correct. Measuring induces error.

It's easier to make the round first, and the hollow from that. I'll second the LN Traditional Side Escapement video.

Pinch rods?

Paring is different than chopping mortises. I just did breadboards this weekend, using my long 1/4" (~14") chisel, instead of my one or intermediate...

Ok, so I need to choose to use the most difficult tool possible to be cool. Got it ;) Did I just hit the road or mountain bike forum tab by...

There's no denying, at all, that a longer reference makes it easier to spot small variations though. That seems a ridiculous 'hill to die on' to me.

Sometimes life has other plans. I bought the stock for my current project in May of last year. I have to finish one shelf, and the doors and it'll...

These become bots to go after other things. There was a question, I actually gave a professional recommendation that was clearly not what was...

Air gap em. Seriously, I wouldn't expose any OS that is EOS to the world.
