Not sure if this is what you're referring...

Sandvik 12C27, same as Mora. Makes a great knife, IMHO.

Lee Valley does.

I wouldn't want D2 for a pocketknife – it's not stainless (although it's certainly more rust-resistant than most tool steels). I'll second Luke's comment that you probably want to make sure that...

Not a square, Veritas doesn't use Robertson heads. ;)

OP: I use a cheap precision screwdriver on the rare occasion I need to adjust the set screws, and whatever flat-head is the closest for...

I'm pretty sure the DH can replace any player in the batting order, not only the pitcher – but with all the absurd rule changes in the past decades, who knows?

IMHO, yes to the DH in the AL, no to...

Triple play: Best play in baseball.

Thanks all.
Derek: I have read (and drooled over) that review before now. Alas, factoring in transport, customs charges, and exchange rates, the HNT Gordon plane is (at minimum) triple what a good...

I picked up a 5-1/2 in need of some rehab – the lateral adjustment lever and part of the upper frog are missing, so I plan to track down a replacement frog. I know it's somewhere between Types 5 and...

I have a lot of dadoes to cut, and I'm thinking about buying a Stanley No. 39. I've never used one, but pickings are pretty slim for dado planes – does anyone have opinions on them?

This is one of the reasons I enjoy Roy Underhill so much – it's my understanding that they go into the shop and film each episode straight through.

I have large hands (the tote on my LN #4 is a bit too small to be quite comfortable with a "regular" grip), and my Veritas #4 (which looks like the same tote design as the #6) has plenty of room and...

Northern Manitoba?

I ordered a saw kit from Blackburn Tools back in mid-October and haven't heard anything. Sent emails last month and this month and no response. (I know the site says he's running 8-12 weeks behind,...

Anyone have experience with Röhm keyless chucks? Looking to replace a couple of keyed chucks on corded drills.

A few ideas. Military, and very grim: Shake Hands with the Devil, by Romeo Dallaire.
A Carpenter's Life Told By Houses, by Larry Haun.
Rivethead, by Ben Hamper.

As far as I can tell, the performance specs for the Festool CT 15 and MINI I are essentially the same – if I'm using it solely for workshop dust collection (I don't care about onboard storage, etc.),...

Assuming their local code doesn't require an air gap.

Unfortunately, I'm not in an area where I can easily get a used saw (and the shipping on that would be prohibitive). I do have a bandsaw, but the prospect of ripping many long face frame components...

I'm in the market for a table saw for, basically, just ripping lumber. I have a track saw for sheet goods, but I'm going to be building quite a few face frames in the near future, so I'd like a...

Looks great. I have one on order that I'm eagerly awaiting. How did you close the spine on the plate?

Is this one of the Blackburn kits?

I'll second the recommendation of DMT DiaSharp.

Fantastic pictures, Mike. Looks great. Thanks for sharing!

My understanding is that mild steel just doesn't have enough carbon to harden, assuming the OP means something like 1018.

Chuck, staked furniture builders sometimes put chair leg tenons in a pan...
