I just gave a SAK to grandson for his 15th b-day- the same kind that I carried starting about that age. His father is a worry-wart who still...

I have done them using commercial kitchen cabinet drawer units, using the same toe kick detail. The forced air heat can be directed out through a 2"...

I've got these project plane bodies, if anyone wants to take a shot. They came from a buddy's dad's estate- he was a shop teacher & the far ones...

Metal cutting? Boice Crane had slotted guards kind of like that.

I'm not getting this- can you explain more?

Nice. I count just over 50. Might be more measured directly across the vertical grain.

Happy to share. Hope you get some good use from it. I like to see these tools get another life.

I'll bet bristlecone pine would be like that- supposedly some of the oldest living things. In the white mountains (CA), the forest service cut a lot...

I bought a four pack of 6" Jorgensen F clamps online a while back. They are lighter than the originals. They are fine for utility use- you don't...

I restored a Japanese jointer plane including adding a layer of Ipe to the sole of the oak body. It is performing really well so far. I don't...

lol.......

Yes, beautiful table. The piece I have is also dry- indoors since 2006. There is also some 4x12 with 40 rings/inch, and redwood 6x6s with 50...

I measured the rings on a scrap, but there's a 6x8x8' piece of the same stuff. Heavy!!

IME, for entry locksets anyway, they are all over the map for size and especially face drilling for the trim, so it's not fast in any case. I've...

Bit of a review here: https://www.jlconline.com/tools/fastening-tools/power-tools/repurposing-a-lock-mortiser_o Amazon reviews for the Porter...

This is the type of tool used. I could dig out one of mine as well. Watch pretty much any concrete pour to see it done. The alternative is to wait...

I made a box for the wheel sander (see review), and a few other bits, but spent most of the week scrounging the estate of a neighbor that just passed...

You can tell that they are not expansion joints because they are only 3/4" or maybe 1" deep. The 3 or more inches of concrete below is solid. An...

I like to trim the ends- easier to read the grain, no point in handling and storing wood that will not be used, & especially if the planks will be...

I picked one up free from CL last year- the owners said it leaked. Just needed some teflon tape on the hose fittings. Not that I needed another...

Seems like this one gets the most use lately. Set up as a scrub plane- crowned cutting edge, wide mouth. Clean up for rough stock, preliminary...

6 mil plastic and some small spring clamps.

That is a biggly table! Hope the dust collection is adequate, but maybe not hard to roll it outside.

Lol. If it's any consolation, I have an adversarial relationship with random orbit sanders, and threw them all away.

I have the Kunz (sp?) version that recently showed up, and I don't see the point of having a cutting edge on the back of the blade since you need to...

The jointer looks OK, but I would not like how the jointer tables block access to the planer. For shorter stock, you need to get your hands closer...

IME, sharpening SS blades is no different from carbon steel ones. I've carried a swiss army knife daily for over 50 years, & not had trouble...

That looks great, as long as the disks run true. Variable (slow) speed. Easy set up. Takes up no bench space. Locates the process where...
