Something so beautiful, welcoming and comforting will never be a passing fad.

I don't know about passing fads, but Stickley, Arts & Crafts and Mission furniture is some of the most comfortable...

You are right Luke. Well after posting it occurred to me the question should have been, "Who Would Buy This."

It was an advertisement that popped up on a page being read and it struck me as insane...

Not a clue. He used to be a member here. It looks like his last post was in 2017.

A picture would help enormously.



Without much else to go on, my suggestion would be to use a spokeshave.

Planes can be used to remove a precise amount of material from a select area....

There are all kinds of what seems to me insane advertisements popping up on screen while reading the news or anything else.

What amazes me is not so much what is selling, but the prices.

Better late than never John, Welcome to the Creek.

Sometimes when folks are looking through posts from a decade are more in the past they forget and post a reply.

Kind of funny when an old...

With no running water in my shop it does make it a bit more work to start with oil and finish with water. Much simpler to avoid mixing media when they work better unmixed.

Some friends of mine call it that or "Second Hand Foods."

Sometimes items on or past pull date are heavily discounted. Yogurt and puddings at ridiculously low prices are fine if you can use them...

To add on to what Alex posted it is better for a cannery to keep running products to sell at a lower price than to shut down a line and layoff workers even for a short period of time.

To me 500 grit seems coarse for a knife.

All the above is likely correct in its own way.

There used to be more canneries than there are today.

Some national brands have their own canneries and only produce their own products.

Good advice Mike. We work with tools that can be very dangerous.

We should never work with our tools when we are not able to give our full attention to working safely.

One of mine would spin so often that a hole was drilled through it and the stock to insert a piece of brass rod to hold it in place. Gave the nut a slight twist to kink the rod. It works great now.

Here is one thing to check when installing a handle on a socket chisel, lightly insert the tenon in to the socket. Then wiggle it back & forth every which way. There should be no looseness. If there...
