    I think the math is important. Not in the absolute numbers sense, but in relationships and correlations that, once understood, can be used in addition to experience to help steer decisions. These...

    It's been a few months since I've used it (not because I've been avoiding it, just been doing more home projects).

    I remember the grip being pretty comfortable, definitely more upright like the...

    I have the 5 1/4W, although I don't use it much (and I don't have it in front of me).

    If I remember correctly, the handle is part of the frog assembly, so the handle force goes directly into the...

    Transfer of momentum wouldn't be zero. At least a part of the chisel would be moving (with or without the mallet attached to it). Motion would stop when the chisel deformation has absorbed all of...

    Yes. The impulse characteristics will change with the compressibility of the fibers in the wood mallet. You may transfer the same momentum, but aligning the fibers in their "stiffer" direction will...

    The KE losses can be quite significant. Just as an example, take the scenario where the cutting depth is 0. With no work output done by the chisel, 100% of the KE in the chisel has now been lost to...

    All things being equal, a mallet that is mass M,...

    All things being equal, a mallet that is mass M, moving at velocity V (which is a vector), and striking the chisel at the SAME angle as a mallet of mass = 2M and velocity 0.5V, will impart the same...

    I placed an order with Blackburn for a frame saw kit, another sawplate and some split nuts exactly a year ago, still haven't received it. I've emailed regarding the status of my order several times...

    I have the 5 1/4w plane which has (what looks to be) the same size tote as that fore plane. I have larger than average hands and can wrap 4 fingers around it just fine

    I would say the quality either stayed the same or slightly improved. I bought some paring chisels a few years ago which were a bit concave on the back from handle to tip. I "filled out the set" a...

    Thanks for all the replies!

    I guess I should have been more forthcoming with info on the original post. I do have a pretty good set of nice planes, but was looking for one I could take to wood...

    Hello,

    Has anyone bought/used one of the new stanley bailey planes that are being sold (made in Mexico)?

    I was curious how they compared to a general, run-of-the mill vintage bailey #4 that...

    I recently did this to the same plane for flattening smaller stock, and went with a 10" radius. That allows for .035" (just over 1/32") depth of cut when the corners are even with the plane sole,...

    I wouldn't strive for perfect on the boards before gluing. When i built my top i tried to make every board as straight and flat as I could before glue up, and still had quite a bit to remove to get...

    All of them :) .

    Slightly kidding, but I have very little time to work the wood. For me, the biggest return on investment is being able to actually get to use the tool in the time I have allotted...
